One day in Vevey, Suisse - Photo portrait session with Canon 5D MKII 16-35mm 2.8 L II USM, 24-70mm 2.8 L USM and Speedlite 580 EXII in Switzerland

One day in Vevey - a city living for photography

The city of Vevey carries a lot of Photo exhibition and also the famous Photo Museum with nice collections in it. Today was finishing the “Images” free exhibition, with pretty famous photographers showing their work from all over the world, including some top famous professional and many award winners, as well as few animations with artists. 

Portrait Session with Canon 5D MKII, Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L USM, Canon 24-70mm 2.8 L USM and Speedlite 580 EXII

The photo portrait session has been a real pleasure, with the camera being ultra responsive and the lenses rendering very sharp result and brilliant colors. The Speedlite 580 EXII strobe flash is actually performing exceptionally well, with very delicate light when needed, giving a very nice lightning condition in this overcast day. It actually re-sync pretty fast and doesn’t have issue when shooting in continuous mode. 

The lenses have been mainly used at f/stop 2.8 most of the time, and this is delivering perfect sharp render. No major distortion, even for the wide angle 16-35mm, which is still giving this amazing wide shot while keeping the color spectrum as close as possible to reality, something I was not able to get with the Sigma 10-20mm

Birds in Vevey, Lac Léman, Switzerland (Suisse)

I went to a Photo Bourse in Vevey, Switzerland, and I found one of the very few remaining Minolta 28-70mm f2.8 G, a real masterpiece. I was walking back to my car when I saw a few birds facing the lake. I needed to test my lens, and the occasion was perfect. The results is sharp, with a very good and warm balance of colors. Hope you like it!
