Re: Photography Thread
What ISO were you at Brad? It's not available in your exif data.

Re: Photography Thread
I am jealous of that lens, Justin, it would be nice to use that in a place like I shot this weekend.
I chased my tail with the aperture til i just had everything all screwed up, so I just shot a LOT to cover all my mistakes. And I made many dozens of mistakes. It did force me to learn something though, and I forced myself to read about Auto Focus sensor zone switching with the D-pad. It always sounded like a pain in the butt to me, so I just skipped over it and figured I'd work around not knowing how to do it, or at least practice it one day sitting around, haha. So I got the focus zone in the middle, which was EASY, but wrong over a lot of the stuff I shot. Lots of perfectly focused BELTS and BOOBS and soft faces and eyes. had I realized how easy it is to do in practice, i would have made much better use out of that practice trip last night. |

I had to give. 1600 was not ideal. I might have capped it at 1200 about midway through the evening. I need to look at the originals, where I know I can read the EXIF on the camera itself. I can look at the items I posted here, too, specifically, to see where the ISO was. |

Re: Photography Thread
Why not pick up a 50mm f/1.8 brad? You can get the older AF-D model for a lil over $100 new. Or even a 35mm f/1.8

what I needed to do to balance maybe a 1200 ISO with some other changes to find a sweet spot with the aperture. I think I wanted to be a coupla stops short of wide open for clarity. But most times I must have failed, because it looks like I stayed in 1600 all night. I am not sure why I couldn't get off that. Surely auto ISO did not feel like it was that dark in the place. I must have been whacking that iris a little more than I thought. I should have matrix metered and seen what the computer might have done. |

Re: Photography Thread
Well after posting the pic in the critique section on POTN, I think I have my shot how I want it. Next time I'll try to frame it this way.

You know, talk space...you frame so that the direction they are 'talking' has the most room, not with their nose in
a frame edge. Doesn't everybody know obscure TV terms? I like the implied horizontals on the bottom in the sand. [ Craquelure by MemphisBrad, on Flickr] REDRUM. |

Re: Photography Thread
Sad thing it really isn't lol. The f/2.8 model is much bigger and heavier.

Re: Photography Thread
F2.8 is a sweet lens. I had the Nikkor, but I have heard good things about the Cannon lens. The front element is pretty large though!

Re: Photography Thread
I rented the 2.8 a lil while back and it's not something I want to shoot on a regular basis without a monopod

Re: Photography Thread
No, it was definately a handfull. Back in the day I shot a lot of wildlife stuff, and since I was young, single and thought I had lots of money to blow, I bought some pretty fast lenses. At one point I had a 200/2.8, a 300/2.8, and an 800/4.0. Man, I wish I had the cash I spent on those babies these days!
