Good morning folks and welcome back to the channel this is very much an informal vlog today I wasn't
really planning a vlog but I thought I'd come out for my morning exercise. It's been a while since
I've been out we've had unseasonably high pollen levels in the UK and it's been really impossible
for me to get out I do suffer with hay fever and basically the medications just not been touching
it. Because of the pollen levels I've just not not been able to get out with the camera
at all and today I thought I would get out with this, the little Nikon 1 with the CCTV
lens. I've done a review on this lens before and I'll put a link up here to it, yeah it could do
with a few more views that video but never mind. The the lens itself it lends itself quite well to
intimate woodland photography. I did some shots in Hawthorn Dene with the camera and quite like them,
the lens gives a kind of a sort of a halo around the image where it's slightly out of
focus so it's quite nice and dreamy. So yeah, woodland photography works quite well with it.
The lens ideally is a portrait lens. So I'm out today, it's been raining for the last day or so
the pollen levels thankfully have dropped a little bit and I can get out with the camera.
So the types of shots I'm taking today are pretty much my usual fare of intimate detail shots.
The rain has meant there are quite a lot of raindrops on
the flowers and grasses and things so I've managed to get photos of those and I'll roll those now.
One thing I forgot to mention about this little lens is that because that focal point is
in the very centre of the lens, then you have to ignore things like put things on a third because
you'll find that that part of the image is quite blurred. Everything has to be slapped bang in
the middle of the image which goes against the grain quite a lot but you will achieve fairly
decent photographs with this little lens. I highly recommend buying them they if you've got a either
a Nikon 1 like I've got here or something like one of the micro four thirds Olympus Pens or something
like that, these lenses about £13 to buy on eBay up to about £18 depending on the fitment because
you get an adapter with them usually to mount the c-mount lens to whatever camera you've got.
Yeah, good little lens, good little buy, a fun lens to use highly recommend you getting one.
