Certainly been a few dozen moments since I've ventured out doors to execute any photographic work. These images were shot in early December, 2022; and I'm only now just getting around to sharing them here on HIVE.
I've worked with Lakeisha before hand and that was a very successful shoot; with some awesome images the outcome of some time spent in a forest.
For this session, I used my favourite location in the Adelaide Hills, an abandoned cathedral in a graveyard. It's well worth the drive to get there, and it has a magical atmosphere.
The following images were almost compromised by the fact that I decided to use my older Nikon D750 in lieu of my mirrorless gear, and furthermore by the fact that I decided to (handheld) use my even older Nikon 105 Defocus control lens, which allows for the focus of the out of element areas of the image to be set to a seperate aperture range than the in-plane elements.
I made a mistake with the set up of the lens, setting the "defocus" to the front instead of the rear, which is not what I wanted to go for with this set of images. I won't lie, when I got home and looked at these images for the first time, my hear sank, and I thought I had wasted everyone's time.
What follows is the salvaged images. Everyone is happy. :) I just hope I get more of an opportunity to photograph people this coming year.
Probably one of the final images captured on the day, in the rearmost part of the location.
Getting ready to stab some people. :)
Balancing the blade. Consider this the consideration of justice?
The ruin of it all.
A moment.
With a sharp edge.
A playful, sharp edge.
And a considered thought.
Won't be taken any further.
At the end of the blade.
