My Fetish: Voyeurism
Ξ February 16th, 2010 | → | ∇ Photo |
Your mind was automatically directed to sex, wasn’t it? Admit it. With a title like that, everything point to the sexual fetish that is Voyeurism. If you search the web there are lots of sites (there it goes again, the mind floating to those sex ideas) that define this clinical psychology called Voyeurism, but today I’m here to talk about things other than sex. Let’s talk about photography (for a change).
After buying a Nikkor AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED and taking it for walk and a couple of shoots, I’m fascinated by this lens. This lens has an excellent zoom and allows you to capture really nice photos without interfering with the natural behavior of the subject. Sometimes having this huge lens extended in some direction generated some awkward by the people close to you, but I must face my natural shyness and if necessary explain what is the intention (no harm, no foul).
In fact, and here comes the origin of the title, I liked so much the ability to take “distant” photos that I’m considering investing in another tele-zoom lens after making the most of 200 mm. The Nikkor AF-S VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED is an excellent candidate, and will be in the shortlist when time comes. Here is an interesting review. As you can see in Nikon’s lens simulator, the zoom at 300 mm is amazing.
