is the pic you posted also 77, but looks bigger w/ hood?

yea..I always have the hoods on my lenses...even when I am just shooting around the house

likewise

I think mine is a 77 too

tomorrow I"ll post a picture to match your all's

yes, 77
yes, i left the hood off - that thing is HUGE
yes, everyone should post the same picture i did

I just took the shots

I'll post them tomorrow

What pics are we posting... any lens or biggest lens?

mirror self portrait

I was having huge trouble with shutter speed, even at 2.8, I thought about putting the speedlight on but thought that might be a little much

I was at 1/10, so I'll have to see how they turn out

didn't even dawn on me to raise the ISO above 100 for some reason

lani, in the interest of being able to show off the most, you'd probably be best off using your biggest lens

that what andy and I did

Oh, I don't have any 'big' lenses.. my main two are the 100mm macro and 28-135mm.. Meh, lemme go take some pics.

i shot mine at 2.8, ISO was 100, had no issues with shutter speed. maybe you should move your mirror out of the cave there homie

its probably your superior canon body and glass combo

I was using cheap 3rd party glass

oh, well yeah. you failed to mention you were shooting nikon

The 24-70 is a nice lens! I borrowed my friends for few trips and thought about getting it too. But, last nite I just picked up the 24-105 brand new from craigslist. I can always borrow the 24-70 if I need 2.8. So far liking the IS! Both are sweet lenses!!

bought myself another lens today.




neat!

So you went with the fisheye.

yeah, it'll be here tomorrow

What are you going to shoot with it first?

probably my feet haha

no, i'm going to DC for a work conference on saturday, and then off to the UK in a week so I should have plenty of opportunities to play around with it then!

I bet he did.

i don't have it yet noobs.


tomorrow...

So you'll take pics of your feet.... tomorrow.

K, weirdo.

lol this lens is awesome. so hard to not get your feet in portrait shots though. pics later. sleep now.

Well?

andy PM'd me and told me a camel ate his lens at the zoo

nah, at at work conference in DC. got some beach shots before i left and some dc shots with it, but i haven't had a chance to edit them yet.

I did not find this humorous at all.

fisheye = awesome at parties

where did you find the beer goggles filter?

hahaha flip cup. thats a fun drinking game.

it's a feature of the lens

I love how everyone at the party is business casual

we just came from a networking event with various executives from our company. one of the guys actually showed up and was playing flip cup with us but i had to edit him out (to save my own ass, as well as his!)

Interesting ghosties in that last shot.
And hey, no feet! How far above your head did you hold it?

yeah, i thought i left the 2nd curtain flash sync on by accident (was playing with it the day before) but i just checked and it was back on 1st, so those ghosties must be real dead people.

and i was holding the camera above my head with my arm fully extended

more fisheye fun. it looks like i missed the focus a bit in the first one, but it looks ok full-sized... weird.

delivered today. yay shallow DOF

Mmm I love primes.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. LOVE the razor thin DOF. I get about 1/2" in focus at the minimum focus distance of 3' at f/1.8. Should be fun to play around with this weekend in Santa Barbara.

its a nice lens I use to have one a while back. Be careful wide open in high contrast situations or the images will look like you spilled grape pop in them.

yeah, I heard the CA is pretty brutal wide open. almost got the 100/2 instead (supposed to fix a lot of the CA issues) but it was a little too long for me.
