Night Photography • Nikon Z fc • TTArtisan 35mm 1.4

- Using my Nikon Z fc and the TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 I do some night photography on the north shore of the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, TN. I did mostly light trails using multiple exposures blended in Photoshop using the "lighten" blending mode. But I also made a couple of other images. I was impressed with the TTArtisan lens and the light stars its 10 bladed Aperture creates.

That is a sweet lens. Very tempted to get it. The light stars in the ally are fantastic.
It's hard to go wrong for only $75! :)
Phil, Heather and family wishing you all a very happy, healthy 2022! Thanks for all the beautiful footage from 2021! 👍 Greetz Marco, The Netherlands 📸
Thank you, Marco!
Really liked that last picture of the lights. Happy New Year you guys.
Thank you, Hassan! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I liked the Edley's BBQ with light trails. We ate there last spring after visiting a waterfall. The last shot with all the light stars is awesome!!!
Thank you, Stephen! We go to all the same places. We are bound to run into each other at some point!
Fantastic photos. The light stars are sensational. Good camera, good lens and professional photographer. Congratulations!
Thank you, Erik!
All your shots were good, but the alley shot was unbelievable. Happy New Year!
Thank you, Mike! Happy New Year!
That is a terrific shot with the star bursts. It will be a long time until you get one better. Definite to be included in your Best of 2021. Happy New Year!
Thank you, Paul! I almost didn't make that shot because Heather was done with her haircut but she didn't mind waiting a minute or two while I made that shot.
@@PhilThach one of the greatest attribute for a photographer is lots of patience.
Now your wandering into my territory of photography, be careful in this region, it is like a drug and you might get rid of your bird gear. 😬🤷🏻♂️📸 Nice photos with that little Nikon, I really like what you are doing with it.
Thanks, David! That little lens continues to surprise me for sure. I'll be keeping my bird gear though! :)
Happy new year wishing you and family all the best in 2022 cheers from Montreal
Thank you, same to you!
Wow. Nice photos!
I snagged the same lens for just under $60 bucks. Can't wait to try some long exposure snaps.
Thank you!
Great shots Phil. Loved the light trails. Really good results from a relatively inexpensive lens. Thanks for sharing the video 🙏
Thanks, Adrian!
Wonderfully fun and colorful images. Love that last shot with the light stars almost posing as snowflakes. It appears you’re enjoying the little ZF C.
Hi Blue! Yes, the Z fc is a keeper for sure. Thank you!
Wow awesome photos! Love those 10 point stars!
Thank you, Patricia!
Happy new year!!! Those stars at the end looked amazing!!!! But the photos seemed a little soft...
Thank you! It's a $75 manual focus lens. :)
Wow!! Loved the light trails Phil. And the light stars, awesome!👍👏 I did not know the number of aperture blades determined the number of light star points. Great video and thanks as always for sharing your set up approach!
Thank you, Bill!
That cheap lens really does an amazing job. The light stars in the alley were really cool.
Thank you, Bob!
First I have heard the number of points on a star relates to the number of blades in the aperture. Thanks for sharing that tip and your great night photography shots!
Thanks, Bill! :)
Love that lens. Is it autofocus on the Zfc? I also love your explanation of how to do this kind of photography. Believe I will give it a go in my town to see what I can come up with.
Thanks, Ron. Everything about the lens is manual. Manual Focus and Aperture. There are no electronic connections to the camera so you have to remember the aperture that you used. Light trails, especially when you blend many shots with the lighten blend mode are really fun. The easiest mistake to make is overexposing. Some areas look ok overexposed like the center of a light star but things like signs look bad when they are overexposed IMO. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
That was a lot of fun Phil, glad you took out the combo for some street photography. You captured some awesome shots! I really liked the first stacked image with the light trails & also the very last frame with those star bursts😀 Thanks for sharing ( p.s hope Heather was satisfied w the haircut😀)
Thank you! I think Heather was happy. Cheers!
I just got this camera and lens combo. You have inspired me to try to capture some light stars and or some light trails. I am fairly new to photography and I know this will be very challenging. Any tips for a beginner attempting to do this? Thanks for showing and talking about how you got the shots and what your settings were. How is the camera's ISO response with the low light? Thanks again! Happy New Year-Stay Safe
Thank you! The camera does OK in low-light situations. For light trails, you want to shoot at ISO 100 so it's no problem at all.
I was looking at maybe trading in my Canon EF mount gear for a Nikon Z fc or moving back to Micro 4/3. I saw the Trek shop and was like, that's Chattanooga.
Yep! I do lots of videos from Chattanooga and the surrounding area.
Question for you, Phil. I see this was shot about a year ago. I'm wondering how you like your TT Artisan lens now that you've had it for a while. I got a TT Artisan 21mm lens when I got my Zfc. I loved it at first but I'm beginning to have some questions about it's quality / reliability at this point.
I still like the TT Artisan 35 f/1.4. I also bought a TT Artisan 23mm f/1.4 and never made a video about it because I don't like it.
@@PhilThach that's interesting. You do like the 35mm but not the 23mm, huh? Is it just look of the 23 or something more technical?
I like my 21mm but it's still not quite as wide as I want. Lately I've been shooting night skies and it works really well for that. As for general use, it's not as crisp as I thought at first. But overall, I'm really happy to have it.
Here's your first thumbs up from me in 2022.
I think as a YT creator you're required to do a "best of 2021" video. : )
Thank you, Leon! I did one of those for 2019 and 2020 and they didn't get many views after being difficult to put together so I decided not to make one this year.
