You (Probably) Don't Need an f/1.2 Lens: The Law of Diminishing Returns

There are some scenarios where an f/1.2 maximum aperture is desirable, but I think this is rarely the case.

Foggia, stadio Pino Zaccheria.

Mi piaceva come la recinzione porta l’occhio verso le tribune e i fari.

I originally borrowed @noel.swails (on Instagram) lens to photograph the northern lights but they didn’t show up again so I ended up using it for the Alps instead.

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to landscape photography so I wasn’t expecting much. But looking at the photos now, I’m honestly surprised by how well they turned out. There was something incredibly refreshing about carrying almost no weight and still being able to capture moments that felt special. The snow made everything look softer, brighter, and more peaceful.

It felt good to step out of my comfort zone and try something new especially since I haven’t been in the mood to post animals lately. So here’s a little change of scenery.
I’m happy I took the chance, happy I tried and even happier that these images let me share a bit of that quiet winter magic with yβ€˜allπŸ’œβ„οΈ

Campagna pugliese, Italy.

Ho visto questo casale abbandonato sotto un cielo così e non sono riuscito a non fotografarlo.

Carpi, Italy.

Fotografo alle prime armi, sto imparando a gestire luce, linee e spazi vuoti.

Questo scatto di strada fa parte del progetto Photography Noob, in cui documento il mio percorso da principiante nel mondo della fotografia.

Niente AI, solo errori umani e tanta pratica.
