Molly Menard Shoot
I recently had a chance to hang out with Molly, who is a local model (sort of). She is one of those girls that will model for anyone, but doesn't like to boast about it. She has done some work with me, C.T. Pham, and i recently found out she has had work with Abercrombie and Fitch advertising. Molly knows she's very pretty and could easily jump start a modeling career, but has other priorities in life.
This session wasn't something I scheduled, nor was it really something specific I wanted. We were just hanging out, and there was some stellar natural light coming in from my window. She had my awesome shades on and decided to bounce around like a lunatic on my bed. I saw the fun in this, and immediately knew this would be a great photographic opportunity to show her personality.
Canon 5dmk2 EG-S Focusing Screen Review
I recently bought the EG-S Super Precision Matte Focusing Screen for my 5dmk2. I love to shoot wide open on my lenses, and currently I own all primes that come in lower than recommended f/stop range for this screen. The 50mm f/1.4 and the 85L f/1.2 MK2. If this is your first time hearing of this focusing screen I will go through a brief description of it below.
What is the EG-S screen?
(as Ken Rockwell explains)
These precision surfaces simulate ground glass and greatly increase brightness for f/2.8 and slower zoom lenses so popular today. They are designed to be bright and contrasty with these slow lenses.
Oddly, these modern screens get no brighter when you're using a lens faster than f/2.8. Try it: put on an f/1.8 or other fast fixed lens and flick the depth of field button. You'll see no change in anything until you stop down to about f/2.5!
