USED CONTAX G2 FREE

From exposure compensation, exposure lock, auto bracketing (because film isnвЂ™t expensive at all) and various shooting modes. It has them, all of the ones you can possibly want. It feels so reassuringly solid that you may believe you could defend yourself from a rampaging rabid goat with a swift twat to the head, although I might add, this is not a course of action I would recommend or condone.

The addition of a thumb rest and small grip really enables you to get a grip over the camera, rather than it feeling likeВ a slippery metal bar of soap. Contax G2Д®rgonomically, the Contax G2 feels great in your hand. The Contax G2 would act as my daily analogue camera in the same way as the M6, but in addition, and unlike the M6 had the extra capability of a вЂњusableвЂќ flash sync with my studio equipment.ДЄnyway below is a very brief synopsis of my findings. ItВ replaced my Lecia M6.В I appreciate that may sound like blasphemy to some of you, and that by admitting to this a mob armed with pitchforks and torches running to my house as we speak but there was a purpose to this. It was in great condition apart from some LCD leak situated in shutter counter (a common problem). I purchased the Contax G2 from our friendly JapanВ Camera Hunter. I generally work with model agencies and various other creative folk supplementing my digital work with polaroids and film. Hello, my name is Adam and IвЂ™m predominantly a portrait photographer. Anyway I guess I should start at the beginning.

I subsequently got somewhat side-tracked with the joys of editing, and then sold the camera in question (more on that later), which made me ponder if I should even submit my musings at all.

In the meanwhile, if you are interested in the concept, this free tutorial from B&H is the perfect place to start.MorningВ all, I hope this finds you well with a hot beverage and ideally a biscuit nearby (IвЂ™m rather partial to a bourbon myself).ДЄfter speaking with Hamish about an advance compact a month or so ago I agreed to submit my thoughts in relation to the shiny Contax G2. There are lots of examples of HDR done вЂњrightвЂќ that I hope to compile some day.

However, I do not like most of the garish HDR stuff we see on the internet. I think High Dynamic Range imaging is a great technique for fulfilling photographic vision given the limitations of sensors compared to our eyes. This one below is an exposure blend of 3 photos taken with the Sony A7R and Zeiss 16-35 FE just before sunrise.ДЄnd this one is again a blend of three exposure but this time taken just after sunrise.ДЄmazing isnвЂ™t it, how light and photography medium shape such different looks from the same subject.ДЄnd by the way, I spoke of exposure blend for 2 of the photos above. Also, given the huge contrasts and fast changing light, multiple exposures were called for. Much as I love film, when you want to shoot tons of images, digital is obviously the way to go. This was going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity (ah well I may come back to Angkor Wat but its surely not going to be frequent occurrence). The one below was taken with the Contax G2 loaded with Velvia 50. I started taking shots with both cameras. I had taken my tripod, Sony A7R with Zeiss 16-35 FE lens and the Contax G2 with the Zeiss 28mm. Luckily, my opportunity came soon enough and I got a position right in front of the lake. As expected, there were tons of tourists ahead of us but I knew that patience was the name of the game and the tourists would be gone as soon as the light became interesting from a photographerвЂ™s point of view. So, three of us woke up at 4:30am and left the hotel to go to Angkor. I had done my research on when to go and which pond to stand in front of to get the sunrise reflection shot вЂ“ exactly the same position from where the day photo above was taken. This was taken with my favorite film camera, the Contax G2, loaded with Velvia 50 film.Д«ut to truly experience the beauty of Angkor, one must go in the morning. We visited Angkor Wat during the afternoon and it was truly stunning. All of this makes for a great combination but most people really visit Cambodia for Angkor Wat, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The people are extremely friendly and generally the country is reasonably well set up for tourism.
