I’ve been debating between the Sigma and Nikon 50mm 1.4 on my D700 for a few months and finally decided to get a hold of both of them before I made a decision. We did a wedding a couple of weeks ago in Los Cabos, Mexico and I got a chance to use the Nikon 50mm 1.4G. (For all you tech heads, I’ll do a technical comparison in the near future). In a nutshell, I wasn’t overly excited about the lens. I then went ahead and purchased the Sigma 50mm 1.4 and I’ve been more than happy with the results. Here are a couple of pics taken from a photo shoot this past weekend. thoughts?



Another processing option!! | Dallas, TX Wedding Photographer
I’m kind of a processing addict when it comes to our pictures. I want every picture to be just right. Lighting, skin tones, you name it! I’m usually online browsing hundreds of pictures looking for aspects I like and dislike about each. The more I do this, the more I find my identity when taking pictures and fine tune my own processing.
There are so many options when processing a picture!! I love vibrant and clear pictures, I love the new black and white effect we made, but I wanted to come up with a cool, vintage like effect as well. We put together this new effect that I like to call “Vintage Blue”.
Mr. Brett Maxwell, an awesome Michigan Photographer, likes to see before and after shots, so this is just for him. In the pic below, A is Vibrant and Clear and B is Vintage Blue. I love them both but it gives us another option that we really like! This will look awesome on our new Wedding Photos!
