The Arrangement

[The Vulcan]

Cambodian bar girls and an impending arrangement in the backgound.

Canon EOS 5D - 500 iso - 24mm L prime - f1.4

Nice. I suppose without flash?

Now do you like your new lens?

it's the one you bought immediately before you left for Cambodia right?

That was a 35mm L I bought before Cambodia - this is a 24mm L I've had a long time - my favourite lens without a doubt - sharp, great colours and contrast

Nice pic.

Did you use a tripod or flash?

No flash and just rested on an upturned glass for support (1/13th sec)

Nice use of light Vulcan and good use of DOF.

I have been conpemplating getting a 24 L down the track, I imagine it would be the perfect indoor, close quarters lens??

Vulc, no offense but the composition is snap shot in nature. Great lighting - good mood though.

It is a good lens and I like the 24mm angles. Street work, night shots and landscape fair well. Well worth the money. Possibly my favourite lens

No offense "James" - it does (unfortunately) come over as a snap shot but actually it was set up.

I wanted to shoot the arrangement but (obviously) this was sensitive. A camera in a bar is pretty sensitive eh?

I wanted also to convey the bar scene as we know it.

So, I cajoled the girls to pose to mask the real intent and not draw attention to myself.

I needed to shift a little to get the background in hence the clipped face on the right and the inclusion of an arm on the left. (too lazy to crop)

I hope you see my intent - under the sensitive and precarious circumstances I was quite pleased with the outcome
