I am setting on the NX for the next 2-3 years. I started sorting out from the NX related licterature and reading some more "general photography". Now that i have a new system to grow with i have set my photography target for 2016.
I spent a lot of time reading about catshow photography and also did some experience. I used to think that it is like portrait photography but now i realized that is more like fashion photography.
The difference?
In fashion photography you have a staff: an assistant, some one for the makeup and someone for the dressing. This is the same with show cats: it is you, the photographer, someone who tease the cat and help you getting the pose, the owner that prepare the cat like makeup and dressing of a model.
So the new challenge is taking modern techniques in to cat photography, now that i know (more or less) how to shot a show cat i think it is time for me to try to find my way.
Actual gear:
NX1000 body
NX20 body
30mm prime (a good focal that allow my to shot a single cat with some crop or a group of cats... usually stopped down to f2.8 to get always the whole head in focus)
18-55 III for the NX20 (best handling with the flash)
16-50pz for the NX1000 (compact+zoom+is)
20-50 II (i love the edge to edge sharpness and handling, tryng to find uses for this lens)
50-200mm (mai reason i have an NX20, on the wide end must be an interesting tool)
Samsung GN42 flash
Bower 728 (remotely triggered)
Planned gear:
A new tripod
leather grip for the 2 bodies
a white reflector
45 or 60mm prime
16mm prime not for cat usage (!)
