Bronze statue Nikon E type 50mm

[Owen Evans]

Just picked up A Nikon D700 and went out to get to grips with it in my local town of Wigan. The town has just erected a statue to the first black rugby player Billy Boston to play for the town who went on to be a bit of a legend in the sport. I had thrown an old Nikon 50mm f1.8 E type (pancake) lens on the camera as it's a great manual lens to work with despite it's age. Here's a few test shots playing with bokeh and the dynamic range of the camera. Excuse the editing, I was trying a few things.

the black shadows around the image, #1 are distracting, especially the head ...... not sure how they came about

a couple of dust bunnies on your sensor

bg patch, but attractive images

No it was in post, was playing in HDR a bit to much LOL Shot this with a couple of speedlights today, same camera same lens at f22 no dust spots (it's just been cleaned) again HDR 50% crop of some others I was doing. film simulation edits thus the magenta

Plain minimal editing
