Another photograph of Lagos?

Again?

Yeah. I know.

I just can’t seem to resist it.

I suspect it must be those street lights (seeing that I grew up in a “village” and all…).

Yeah, right!

Today, I had the wonderful privilege and pleasure to hang out with one of the most aren’t-they-oh-so-beautiful-together couple -to-be I’ve ever photographed.

No kidding!

This is another “old” treasure.

I think I shot this some Sunday (or was it Thursday?) in 2007.

Anyway, here’s wishing my favorite Duchess a superfantasticandsplendid HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Bible says a good man brings out treasures of both OLD and NEW from his store house ( ). So, good man that I am, here are a few “OLDIES” from my archives of photographs of the beautiful Obafemi Awolowo University, my alma mata.

Old Nikon 50mm f/1.2... YUMMY!

"Old" Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 on "New" Nikon D300... YUMMY!

I “ran” into a magnificent copy of Nikon’s old 50mm f/1.2 lens on an – wait for it – Nikon F3 camera the other day.

Believe me when I say, “they don’t make ‘em like that no more”! Sigh…

Shot with the 105mm f/2.5

And as if that was NOT enough, just today, I had the amazing good fortune to be loaned an Nikon F100 AND Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 lens!

Another with the 50mm f/1.2

Another with the 50mm f/1.2

It’s almost like falling in love all over again.

Almost. Just “almost”!

P.S. “Orekelewa” actually does NOT mean the price of beauty… but… anyways

Photography Masterclass (09.12.09)

Ayo, our very own LADY IN RED!

Ayo, our very own LADY IN RED!

Last weekend, I had the pleasure and honor of facilitating a Photography Masterclass with a wonderful group of eager students – Tolu Ajayi, Henry “Flow” Egware, Kayode Sadiq, Jebo Bature and Tolutayo Obasa.

To say we had FUN together would be an understatement!

We had LOADS of FUN together and I’m very honored for the opportunity to share with such a passionate and enthusiastic group.

SHOOT!

SHOOT!

I most definitely am looking forward to seeing what each of these guys (and the only lady in the group) will come up with in the days and weeks to come!

And, oh! They ALL are Canon shooters :-)

Hey! Guys, tell me what is NOT right with this photo. (HINT – 3 things that make a GOOD photograph).

Left to Right - Tolu; Tolutayo; Kayode; "Flow"

Left to Right - Tolu; Tolutayo; Kayode; "Flow"

And then, just as we were rounding up, we got our own “Lady in Red” appearance – Ayo stepped on set, and EVERYONE got their cameras out and started clicking away!

I guarantee that, you’d have done the same thing if  you’d been there. Honestly, Ayo’s presence simply made an already wonderful experience absolutely FANTASTIC!

Check out some pictures of her I shot on Tolu’s Canon EOS 5D mk II (I warned Tolu NOT to follow me into a dark alley whilst with the 5Dmk II… :-) )

Really, the 5D mk II is a truly magnificent tool (once you can get around the rather “user-hostile” (IMO at least) menu).

and, finally…

Lady in Red - Ayo!

Honestly can’t for the life of me explain why this scene caught my eye in the first place the other day I was at the Palms Shopping Mall, Lekki, but it did!

What’s more, I’m even MORE at a loss why I posted it here at all!

I guess it must be the streak of red on the parking median in the foreground…

Yeah! THAT must be it. Definitely!

:-)
