Having gotten a bit more used to my new strobes, I thought it was time to take them for a real world test, to see how they (and myself) did.
Just received my new Bowens Gemini 500R studio strobes and had to take them for a test run to get acquainted.
It has been itching in me all day long, the desire to be creative and have some fun with my camera. So when the sun peaked out from behind a local cloud coverage, I quickly threw up my tripod and a little setup of water, coffee beans and oh yeah a bodum glass. So this is what came out of it
Last night I accidentally stayed up way too late, so that by the time I was ready to head off to slumber land, I noticed that the earliest morning rays of the sun was peaking out coloring the night sky in pretty gradients.
This night a daddy longlegs sneaked into my kitchen, and stayed for the night. It was quite dehydrated, so while providing a drink of water I helped myself to a few macro shots, prior to releasing the little fellow back into nature.
Recently I got the chance to upgrade my (though very decent) Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG lens to the top-of-the-line Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM lens. As both lenses are similarly spec’d, the difference is in build quality, features, image quality, sharpness etc., all the little things that together makes an excellent lens.
