Morning Light with Lioness
🕑 Added 2015-07-28 23:14:06 +0000 UTC When we get a hotel the goal is to sleep, shower and shoot. It seems unless you are in Arizona 150 miles from one of the major interstate's you are going to be paying a minimum of $60 for a room that doesn't have cockroaches. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I scored a room two years ago for $15 a night. The temperature settings were intentionally broken off the AC, and the shower had an intense layer of rust covering everything, but it did the trick for what I needed. I have a thing for cheap dingy motel rooms. The kind that look like they were beat up by one rooms from a Chas Ray Krider Photo. They photograph like a dream, and like a dream they seam to be a fleeting memory.So when we opened the door to our room in Denver, I was excited to try and shoot in this perfectly ugly room. Using just the incandescent lighting in the room and the morning light coming through the window Lioness and I shot this simple little set. Pushing the 5d MKII right up to its limit I shot this at ISO 4000 and F1.4 with the Sigma 85mm F1.4.

Thanks. Had the same feeling. Also in the past few years Sigma has been a strong contender.

I don't think its worth the extra money. The sigma is super sharp, has beautiful contrast, and the difference between 1.4 and 1.2 is seriously minimal.

Great set. I've been debating on getting that Sigma. I'd love the Canon 1.2 but not sure if the extras $1,000 would be worth it.
