Flatiron Wedding https://www.victorchuphoto.com/blog/2014/7/inara-jemiel A nice little wedding near Flatiron I shot yesterday. I was able to bring them out into the flatiron building. Unfortunately, there was scaffolding on the bottom of that beautifully shaped building. Made some lemonade and then some. Great laid-back couple to work with!

When hiring a photographer please keep in mind that... https://www.victorchuphoto.com/blog/2014/7/true  

howmuchwork1

It doesn’t get much simpler or more accurate than this silly little pie chart. Shared by photographer Jeremy Cowart on his Facebook page yesterday, the most socially influential photographer on the Web (according to EyeFi) simply captioned the image, “‘Tis true.” We really have nothing more to add beyond that.

So the next time someone you know asks you what the latest and greatest camera is, or you think about upgrading your gear before you ‘upgrade’ your skill set, remember this little chart.

Turns out it wasn't the sigma's fault https://www.victorchuphoto.com/blog/2012/3/turns-out-it-wasnt-the-sigma-s-fault Apparently, after going to B&H and testing out the 85mm 1.2, i realized that the flash's infared couldn't focus in the dark if the subject is more than 30 feet away. Why didn't I think of that? Not the lens' fault!

What do you do when your new lens acts up during a job? https://www.victorchuphoto.com/blog/2012/3/what-do-you-do-when-your-new-lens-acts-up-during-a-job I was shooting the Morris Park Community Association Dinner Dance at Marina Del Rey over the weekend and brought the newest lens to my arsenel, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4. I've read many positive and negative reviews over the internet. Its supposed to have stellar image quality (IQ) but heard numerous rumors stating canon makes it hard for 3rd party lenses to work on their cameras. I've had to micro-adjust this lens when I first bought it. The reason I bought this lens is because Canon doesn't make this in 1.4, only in 1.8 and 1.2. The 1.8 wasn't good enough and I heard the 1.2 had slow focusing speed. To I wanted to make this my favorite lens and it produced this image:

 

'

However when I used this camera with flash over the weekend, it missed focus 4 out of 5 times. Of course it was only during a shot when Al DeAngleo was speaking. Anyway I had my other camera with the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8  and grabbed a sharp image. So two cameras is always better than one. Always have a backup. Always have a backup.

This lens should however, be shot without flash. Let's see....
