More Petri 50mm 1.7

After the review of the Petri 50mm 1.7 a lot of people emailed me about how much they loved me doing these small reviews on very cheap lenses, so I promise there will be more but for today some more images with that super cheap 50mm 1.7 Petri lens.

 

These images were shot during a workshop with Marie, all natural light wide open.
As mentioned in the review it’s a mixed feeling I have with this lens, the images can be very sharp (even wide open) but the contrast is “weird” and the colors are “funky” but to be honest this is also why I love the lens so much. Do remember that I buy these lenses for their imperfections, if I want a perfect image I will mount the Zeiss 24-70 f2.8 or one of the modern Sony/Minolta lenses, these lenses however give you image “character”. Well at least I think so :D

the UK tour

I can’t wait to arrive in the UK for our very first real UK tour.
In one week we will visit London, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

 

 

For the workshops Nadine is traveling with us as our stylist and model, but also to teach the students a few things about styling and being creative. The locations are absolutely breathtaking so this is going to be portfolio material for both me and the students. We kept the groups small so this means that we only have seats left for Edinburgh for the workshop, so if you don’t want to miss this event make sure to visit our friends at the Flash centre and book your ticket at http://www.theflashcentre.com/frank-doorhof-uk-tour-2013-c529.html

 

 

During the day I will teach the workshop for a small group, but in the evening there is still room for the seminars.
The will be filled with tips and tricks on using light, manipulating light and of course, workflow, light-metering, model coaching, finding models, social media and as an added bonus a whole section on improving your travel and street photography. For the seminars we still have room on all locations due to the flexible room sizes, so we won’t disappoint anyone :-)

This is the kind of workshop/seminar that will keep you motivated to shoot for the rest of the year :-)
So join us next week on our tour through the UK !!!

Album PSW 2013 Fantasy of Flight

During Photoshop World I was not teaching a Pre-con myself this time because of the workshops I taught in New Jersey a day before PSW so I decided to hang out with Moose Peterson during his Precon at Fantasy of Flight. And although it was “blistering hot” I managed to get a nice collection of images which I’m sharing with you guys today.
This is probably my favorite of the bunch by the way.
