wow... i like this portrait alot. Very expressive and the textures in his face are wonderful. I'd say your lens does pretty well Its interesting how he seems so grizzled and old fashioned while at the same time we can see modern touches, such as the hat and the zipper coming out over his wrap (shawl?). Great job.

the detail really amazes me. you caught a fantastic facial expression. human nature can be oh so deep. it's like you can really see how much this man had to go through in his life. awesome work.

sigpras In reply to djoel [2005-01-20 01:26:33 +0000 UTC]

Djoel makasii komen and nya loh heheeheh

btw itu pake lensa 70-300 Sigma F.4

not a bad performance... di focal length 200-300mm ada setting macronya...
dan work well banget....

kelemahannya bentuknya aja yang gak sangar dan susah bener buat low light...
sama satu lagi ini lensa enteng bener jadi nya rada shake kalo lo gak bagus hand heldnya...

gw juga baru tau ternyata handheld itu kira2 berbanding sama panjang focal length yah...
jadinya minimum speed 1/300 buat focal length 300mm... apa lu udah tau yak

heheeheh...

Thank you Djoel...

Iyah gue pernah baca soal itu cuman berhubung gue ga punya lensa tele n males experimen jadinya ga pernah bener2 tau apa yg dimaksud heheheh...

btw lo punya lensa apa aja git? punya nikon 17-35mm f2.8 ga? gue lagi mikir2 mo beli nih...

sigpras In reply to djoel [2005-01-20 02:31:14 +0000 UTC]

gw cuma punya 24-120 sama 70-300 itu...
ada juga 60mm macro, 80-200mm F2.8 sama 20-35 F2.8 (bapaknya 17-35 itu...) punya studio
bisa juga make 17-55 F2.8 DX punya temen... heheheh

itu aja sih... gw lagi pengen 12-24 Tokina... katanya bagus banget hasilnya malah dibandingin sama nikon sekalipun... di sini gak ada dealernya blm ada duitnya juga si...

kalo 17-35 itu bagus banget dah pernah review juga... cuma studio blm sanggup beli...
bekasnya aja mahal bener....

kiyoshite [2005-01-18 19:57:34 +0000 UTC]

its very sharp for a tele, although you must have had a lot of light to get it to 1/1000ths.

sigpras In reply to kiyoshite [2005-01-19 02:02:29 +0000 UTC]

i think its 5/1000 which is mean 1/200....

kiyoshite In reply to sigpras [2005-01-19 02:34:18 +0000 UTC]

oh, silly Exif reader thingy No wonder you had good contrast on his face. If it was 1/1000 i guess you would have gotten more burn outs Cheers

griff-flyer [2005-01-18 17:41:59 +0000 UTC]

Sigma lenses are always badly talked about (especially by Nikon fan..atics), I do not agree with them, there are some very fine lenses produced by Sigma. The quality here seems very high, the sharpness is very well controlled on the resized version, only you can appreciate any aberration of softness on the original pictures. How does the lens feel?

Anyhow your black and white rendering has turned out very nicely and the picture seems nicely spontaneous, a good work,

sigpras In reply to griff-flyer [2005-01-19 02:06:39 +0000 UTC]

i love the result... already compare it with 80-200 F2.8 Nikon with the same condition on focal length 200mm and its work very well... just cry for how expensive that lens heheheh...

i love this sigma lens...

i think the problem is litle bit slow on focusing and light enough...

griff-flyer In reply to sigpras [2005-01-20 16:48:21 +0000 UTC]

if it's just speed it's ok, the construct sometimes might be a problem I hear (but I don't know directly)

well, nikon glasses are nikon glasses, but simetimes their price is truly unaccessible

that's a test? I wonder what will you do when you get the hang of it
I love the dramatism... the story in his wrinkles and in his eyes...
the different textures from the different clothing... the harshness...
one of my favs from your gallery...

I'm wondering if you talked... to ask him permission to post...or smth...

how did you come up with this great tone? how do you convert you color pix to grayscale? did you use any filters?
thanks. jeri

sigpras In reply to jerishoots [2005-01-19 02:10:24 +0000 UTC]

no filter used...
and process only with photoshop...
using desaturated for bw...
playing curve to make it contrast...
minimal burning...

that's all
