Downtown Oakland at Night
« on: September 22, 2019, 08:30:45 »


Nikkor 50/1.2 ai-s 1/8s f/11

IBIS is a godsend.  Shooting f/11 handheld at night was never an appetizing option before!

Lovely result, the Z6 looks like an option if one wants to invest  ;)

Im impressed. Looks lke the camera is fitting your bill.
   Liking a lot the daring composition, unusual and interesting mixing planes, light zones, textures, movements.

Wow, very nice! Definitely would need a tripod to do that with my D500.

Beautiful color and contrast...the look. The composition is fooling me into thinking that the big building is ever so slightly leaning to the right....but, I think it's an optical illusion.

Very well balanced exposure! Nice 18 evenly flared sunstars from the lights gives a nice sparkle ;)


The Z6 delivering a good foundation also for the vintage F lenses, super nice!

Thanks all.

Keith, the 50/1.2 is hardly a lens for architecture.  This image had distortion correction applied too.

Armando, this lens produces lovely light stars.  Like the 105/1.8, it is a lovely lens stopped down because of this.

Erik, yes, the Z6 is superb with manual lenses.  Just need to get around to chipping my lenses . . .

I really like the one window that is lit up in the building. A great detail.
