A social event involving fried eggs, a certain suspension of disbelief, and a bug.
And, the additional application of manual settings.
This was a tough test of my manual aspirations, I had to adjust ISO, aperture and shutter speed. These images are far from perfect but they were an interesting challenge.
All images were made with my Nikon D700 and Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 lens.
This time out I chose to shoot in JPEG (fine) and use the Nikon monochrome picture control. Yes, it was an experiment. The images were processed in Lightroom CC but all I did was to make some crops and apply the lens profile adjustments that I referred to in an earlierpost.
