Bob_Benner's photostream

I am crazy about color and light, add shapes to this and I go crazy. I like images that are about color but not exactly in color. I also shoot pics of friends. I am trying to get more into shooting candids of people on the street but it just doesn't interest me that much. I shoot with a D700 and my primary lens is a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 G AF-S. I use sandisk and Lexar UDMA 4gig cards I process all my NEF files with Nikon Capture NX2 and try to get the image the way I saw it when capturing it. I do not believe in heavy manipulation of images, my goal is to show the viewer what I saw. I use Curves and Levels and some saturation along with adjusting brightness and contrast. My favorite photographers are Jay Maisel and Vincent Versace. Like Jay Maisel I also believe that the more equipment you carry the less images you shoot.
