Wow this is fantastic, I love this one best in the series, the colors, lighting, and contrast are fantastic, and not to mention the wide angle effect. Beautiful work as always Michael!
Nikon MF from 1965... F-stop is 1.4 on this lens, which is very fast and why I use it for low light shots. ISO 200. Focusing manually is difficult to say the least.
Manually set the F-Stop, take a shot, look at the exposure graph, and adjust until I get true whites on the far right (full white exposure). I set my colors flat, so in PS I can correct the exposures if under. Reading the exposure graph is better than eyeballing the preview because a plot of raw data will tell me if I am over or under.
Nikon AF DX Lens: AF, so I do not have to focus. I spot meter on a face or flesh on the stage, then manually set F-Stop and exposure. I crank the ISO so I get at least 100th of a second to stop most of the action. At this concert it was ISO 1000.
Once again, shoot and stare at the exposure graph. I keep all my previews with a graph overview.
I used this lens at wide angle for more dramatic poses.
