Imp. Winartho Photography | Bali Photographer

I just too much enjoy to play with f/1.8 lens, when try it on canon body and lens. With this lens its easier for me to create a fine art photography on extremely low light. now i love oil candle lamp and candle light. it’s give an extra ordinary effect into the image. Please refer to my kecak dance shot on my flickr account.

This afternoon, i want to buy a 50mm f/1.4 lens for better result for easter night mass celebration in the church. but, the camera store in denpasar did not provide it. i found two shops sell 50mm f/1.8 with damn crazy price range. jpckemang.com sell this lens for only 950,ooo rupiah. but f*** professional photo at jalan diponegoro denpasar sell it for 1,950,ooo!!! one million extra. damn! i can not believe it. this shop is not recommended for any lens and camera accessories.

i try to find other shop, and found prodigital sell it for 1,500,ooo. No other shop sell it (in ready stock). I need it for tonight. So, “Ok..”, i think this is better price, even i know that the price is should be 500,ooo rupiah lower. When waiting for remote buying which need times, my event will gone outdate. Then, as usual, open the wallet, take out the credit card, close eyes, and sign. I got my new toy.

I make some test at home. with some object. I think its useful. especially its work nice for portrait shot.

Then the event time is coming. 8pm the easter mass begin. no light at the church buiding turned on, except the light from the candle. set ISO max to 1600 (on my D70). Yes, it’s noise, no problem, and forget it – this is a test. I just imagine that I use D300 soon with ISO could be set max to 6400! I could be a master with this equipment… Then i am realizing that it is still a dream. Ugh!

Ok, the result of nikkor 50mm f/1.8 is quit nice. I love this mini lens. I think this lens, will be my other must-bring lens when go outing. check my flickr for the result.
