Paris Street Photography – with Hans and Peter

Last week Thursday I went to Paris “City” with my brother and a good friend of mine. We left quite early in the morning about 1AM and arrived around 09AM in Paris. We checked into the Hotel and we were on our way around 10AM.

I’ve selected a couple of photos that I have taken during these two days. I’m still editing the night shots of the Paris Louvre Museum and the Eiffel tower. These I will post sometime around the weekend

So stay tuned!

For those that are interested on a technical level, all most all pictures are taken with a Canon 5d MII with a 50mm 1.2 lens. Sometime I changed between the 50mm 1.2 and 16-35mm 2.8 for a large angle.

Regarding focusing, I always use my selective focus points and recompose when necessary (and if I have the time). Focusing with the 5d MII is a pain in the behind …. When there is not enough available light I will switch back center focus point and recompose from there.

If you have any questions please drop a note.

If you are interested in the photos that Peter our Hans have taken over the weekend you can find them @ the links below

Peter’s and Hans blog post about the to Paris and the photos that they have taken.

On a sunny day and with ISO 100 film / setting in the camera, one sets the aperture to f/16 and the shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125 second (on some cameras 1/125 second is the available setting nearest to 1/100 second).

On a sunny day with ISO 200 film / setting and aperture at f/16, set shutter speed to 1/200 or 1/250.

On a sunny day with ISO 400 film / setting and aperture at f/16, set shutter speed to 1/400 or 1/500.

As with other light readings, shutter speed can be changed as long as the f-number is altered to compensate, e.g. 1/250 second at f/11 gives equivalent exposure to 1/125 second at f/16. More in general, the adjustment is done such that for each step in aperture increase (i.e., decreasing the f-number), the exposure time has to be halved (or equivalently, the shutter speed doubled), and vice versa. This follows the more general rule derived from the mathematical relationship between aperture and exposure time — within reasonable ranges, exposure is proportional to the square of the aperture ratio and proportional to exposure time; thus, to maintain a constant level of exposure, a change in aperture by a factor c requires a change in exposure time by a factor 1/c² and vice-versa. Steps in the aperture always correspond to a factor close to the square root of 2, thus the above rule.

Manon Korzelius & Boor Siegel Photoshoot for Katoembar

[Katoembar] is ketoembar met een twist. Ketoembar is de gedroogde versie van koriander, een smaakmaker veel gebruikt in de Joodse en Indische keuken. Een tonicum voor het zenuwstelsel, verhelderend, versterkend en activerend, dat staat symbool voor onze manier van communicatie. Wij zoeken naar de verbinding tussen het product en de uiting, of het nu gaat om een campagne, een website, een activatie, of een productie, we hanteren altijd hetzelfde stramien.
