Dreamy Captures with my favorite Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 FE
Samyang AF 85mm F1.4: Dreamy Captures
I went from visualizing and laying plans on the images I wanted to take, then one day, I got a hold of the Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 and afterwards,
I was creating and putting those imagination into reality. Having a great idea is a good start but having the tool to actually make it is better.
First look on this lens is its undeniably beautiful bokeh which creates very interesting images even on boring locations.
The places that I take walks with my child are either forestry area or the sandy beach, these locations are nonetheless,
a good spot for portraits but they can have some issues.
Forests are filled with trees which gives you a very busy background and sandy beaches in the UK are usually extremely windy.
Busy backgrounds are not a problem with the Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 as it bokeh blast it,
and with its fast focusing ability makes sure I don’t miss a shot
Our family is always out and about, exploring new places and creating memories.
This lens is travel friendly, lightweight and has a good size which doesn’t take up so much space on my camera bag
that allows me to bring other lenses as well,
especially many of my sessions are done on locations that needs a bit of travelling and walking to get to.
The first time I held this lens was in a photography show back in Birmingham,
and the main thing I noticed straight away is how sharp and fast it is, that’s the reason I actually got it.
To show you, here is an image I took with the Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 completely unedited. At 100% zoom,
you can see details such as those tiny grain of sand in my subject’s eyelashes. It’s incredible to get this result straight out of camera.
Every photo can be a great story teller on its own, and working with kids can be unpredictable as well as exciting,
you don’t really know what kind of photo you’re gonna get and with them being quick on their feet and an expert on keeping you on your toes,
with Samyang AF 85mm F1.4’s quick focusing ability, I can make those shots with ease.
You can create all sorts of fun portraits with it that contains alot of running, jumping to throwing things up in the air,
I am always sure that I haven’t missed a moment on my sessions.
At its widest aperture at 1.4 makes it suitable for low light situations and photos that requires movements, this lens is exceptional with it.
What I use it on most are for portraits that are like the type of childhood I’d love to experience or seen in my dreams at some point,
that is probably why they are called dreamy portraits.
With this len’s stunning artistic blur, you can definitely get the ’’dreamy’’ result you want.
I’m able to create a gallery filled with unique photographs in under an hour using just this one lens.
Because of its versatility, most of the time, I don’t feel the need to change my lens at all.
At close up portraits,it delivers such sharp photos and at full body shots give you that impressive blur.
From being travel-friendly to impressive straight-out-of-camera results,
this all-around lens is a definite must have for portrait photographers like me.
For almost 2 years of using it,this lens still stand as my favourite for outdoor portraits and
I can’t say enough words just how incredible my experience is with this lens and
hopefully the images I’ve taken using it will say more than what I can write.
