Shutter Speed - 3.0 sec, on camera flash
f stop - f/1.7

Comments - The last photo I posted I used the on camera flash and it was way over exposed. With this shot, I wrapped tissue around the flash diffusing and spreading the light. The multi-exposure look is actually just one shot, all in camera baby!

Focal Length - 50mm
ISO - 100
Shutter Speed - 3.0 sec, on camera flash

Focal Length - 75mm (1.5 crop factor)
ISO - 200
Shutter Speed - 1/1500 sec
f stop - f/1.7 (probably)

Comments - I have been using the Bleach Bypass effect on a lot of my images lately but am aware not to overdo it. The reason I like this effect is that I like when hidden details are revealed and shadows become a mysterious black.

Post Processing - Levels and colour
Comments - This is one of the first days of using this lens and I was still experimenting with how to use it. At this time I wasn't using the green button to meter the exposure so I was just winging it. It's way too blurry but maybe that's it's charm, although some of her hair strands are in focus which cantres the image nicely.

Shutter Speed - 1/30 sec
f stop - f/1.7
Post Processing - B&W conversion
Comments - To me photos and stories are the same thing so here I've stitched these photos of my wife Naomi hell bent on devouring a candy apple. Within every frame her expression is different, capturing a wide variety of emotions and facial expressions such as lust, determination, eagerness, thinking, etc in just a few minutes.

Focal Length - 75mm (1.5 crop factor)
ISO - 400
Shutter Speed - 1/60 sec
f stop - f/1.7
Post Processing - Brightness, contrast and vibrancy
Comments - The lighting conditions in my living room are very dim so the only lighting for this shot was an overhead ceiling light and the t.v. I had to boost the ISO to 400 and use f/1.7 to get a fast shot and the results are pretty good. I really like the bokeh produced with M 50mm 1.7 and I think it really suits this shot.
