So what is Crepes & Cameras?

By -
Hi guys! Crepes & Cameras is the brainchild of a married couple- an architect wife & a doctor/photographer husband.

What could possibly be common ground for an architect and a doctor/photographer? The joy of exploring the world- understanding cultures, indulging in a variety of FOOD and ofcourse, taking PHOTOGRAPHS to serve as memories for the future!

From time to time, we will also share and talk about things we feel passionate about- from books to technology and other daily bits!

Sony 85mm f/1.4 G-Master : Lens Review: A stellar workhorse

As a photographer, I dont use zoom lenses. I have somehow been fascinated by primes for as long as I can remember. For most parts of the past 2 years or so, I have been shooting mostly with the 85mm. 4 Reasons why 85mm is a brilliant focal length:  1. Possibly the best focal length for portraits. Not too long, not too short, just about perfect.  2. A versatlie lens for weddings and lifestyle.  3. Produces the best possible bokeh( 135mm f/2 can be the only other lens as its competitor)  4. Almost no distortion,  especially compared to the 50mm.  I have owned the Nikon Version , which is slightly lighter than the Sony one, but the Sony 85mm f/1.4 outclasses any other 85mm in the market with its image quality. Coupled with the "EYE FOCUS" technology of the A7R2, it does produce excellent results most of the time. This lens, like most Sony and Fuji lenses, is razor sharp. Somehow, it also exudes a dreamy effect on the photos, especially wide open at f/1.4

Co-incidentally Colombo

I was a first year undergrad architecture student when I had tumbled upon the name of Architect Geoffrey Bawa in a Graphics class. His intricate hand drawn elevations,  style of work and huge contribution to what is today known as "tropical modernism" intrigued me. Since then, I had always wanted to visit Sri Lanka, just to be able to walk through one of his creations. In fourth year, I had decided I would do my internship under a Sri Lankan firm in hopes of fulfilling my wanderlust. I had gone as far as to applying for it and getting a positive reply in return, when my parents had banished all my hopes by disagreeing to let me leave alone.  When Adnan came up with the plan of attending a friend's wedding in Colombo,  before heading to UK for his masters, I was thrilled! This trip would fulfill two of my desires, one being a walk through Geoffrey Bawa's creation, the other being the opportunity to attend a Christian wedding in a foreign count
