Kenzo Kusuda
  
Holland-based Japanese choreographer / dancer Kenzo Kusuda reveals the poetry of the dancing body. Kusuda takes the audience to a world filled with imagination. His work is possessed of a mystic beauty that lies beyond the
perception of our physical senses. Simply with the body's movement on an almost empty stage, he is able to reveal that which is the invisible. 

I enjoyed much of the performance at CAMERA Japan Festival not only that I was Lucky enough to be a part of the performance too!

The legendary AF DC-Nikkor 135mm f/2D.

Few know about this lens, let alone what it does. Many ... many people has dismissed this lens to be a novelty lens and it is designed for soft focussing - I say they truly do not know what they are talking about - Only the true connaissaur will appreciate this lens which is still in production the 1995 model till now.
So what does this lens do?

This lens gives you the ability to control your bokeh front or behind the subject - keeping the aperture at your preference! Thus, you are truly controlling the bokeh and not controlling the bokeh through the aperture. This unique feature can only be found in the 105 f2 DC and the 135 f2 DC - No other brands can match this or have an equivalent to this lens. In addition to this unique feature, the 135 f2 DC is a razor sharp lens from wide open to stop down all the way! The focus plane is so thin that the tiniest movement will cause motion blur.

An unforgiving lens, yes - but when you know how to operate this lens - you know that this lens has earned his rights and is deserved to be in the hall of fame as the epic AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED.

Hi'yall

Ever ponder what lenses to bring with you on a concert shoot? Well, I thought it would be nice to share you my take on a concert shoot in about what lenses to bring.

Of course it depends on what your assignment is but this is what I usually bring with me on a concert shoot. First and foremost good ear plugs! I cannot stress enough that it is very important to protect your hearing from the loud music or even loud fans (in some cases lol). Now let's see my take on lenses I bring along.


Lenses
14-24 f2.8 or 24-70 f2.8
70-200 f2.8
300 f2.8

It is not uncommon that you only have  a short period of time around 2-3 songs to do the assignment in the shooters pit, elbowing other photographers.  Hence I usually bring along a 300 f2.8 - because when my time is up in the pit  I can continue to work from a distance - in headhunting for fans and the band playing. Further more depending on the stage or pit area I bring along a 14-24 f2.8 or the 24-70 f2.8 - but keep in mind that the 14-24 f2.8 is a specialty lens! Thus, if I know that there would be a band playing, I would lug my 14-24 f2.8 otherwise I will bring my 24-70 f2.8 for wide shots. My work horse would be the 70-200 f2.8 - enabling me to make tight headshots capturing the emotions of the artist.
 
If I have the luxury to shoot the whole concert without any restrictions, I would only bring my 24-70 f2.8 and my 70-200 f2.8. That would cover most of the shots I usually make.

All in all planning and preparation is crucial here, make a plan before you shoot the concert, watch the band music videos, how they move, for solo moments, how many shots you need, what type of shots you need, workflow. Then you should be able change accordingly and have a Zen moment in a highly stressed environment. What rest for me to say is keep on shooting
