halfpint Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Much better result, IMO. Is that just tank light diffused with parchment paper, or an external flash diffused? Link to comment
Withers Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 just the tank light, i don't own an external flash yet Link to comment

Withers Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 i'm trying to shoot more people, i'm way too anti-social for this #### memorial day weekend Link to comment
xbwolfx Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 too many gingers around guns, imo Link to comment
Withers Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 i was surrounded by gingers with guns all weekend. the non-gingers were vastly outnumbered. definitely not daywalkers test shot with my new nifty fifty Link to comment
WillWork4Frags Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 too many gingers around guns, imo They're practicing for the rebellion. Link to comment
Withers Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 1.8? yup! that shot isn't as crisp as I expected, but I think I'm spoiled by my macro lens. Link to comment
halfpint Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yeah, I think you might be a bit spoiled. The best lens I own is a Sigma 10-20 EX, and I can tell a difference in sharpness between the fifty and my siggy. I still think the price makes it worth every penny. It's almost disposable, with that low of a pricetag. Link to comment
Withers Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Oh it's definitely worth the money, but I was expecting it to be a little sharper considering all the reviews I've read. It could be that mine is near the edge of tolerance, but I'll keep playing with it. Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 maybe you suck as a photog? Link to comment
Withers Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 That's why I'm going to keep playing with it first I'm not one of those people that gets a new lens, takes a picture that turns out blurry and blames the lens. For the longest time I thought my macro lens was soft. Turns out I just sucked. Link to comment
Withers Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 turns out i just sucked as a photographer, and also that the nifty fifty sucks ass at focusing when wide open. Once I stop it down to f/2 it focuses great and clarity gets a lot better Couple new shots (nifty fifty) Macro found this dude at a golf course, he was at least 6 feet and this one was about 3 inches i really wish this forum's image re-sizer didn't make everything look soft unless you view it in full size Link to comment
dna930 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Great pics. One thing that has really helped me as photographer is reviewing the efix data while doing my processing. I find that looking at things such as histogram, focal length, ISO, WB, shutter speed, metering mode, etc. help me understanding the technical aspects of why my pictures look the way they do.

Withers Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 yeah sorry, I've got mine set to automatically block it every time I upload. It wouldn't do you a ton of good aside from aperture settings since I screw with exposure so much in post. Link to comment

Withers Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 psh it's not even going to hit us. if we don't go home this weekend I'll give it a shot frog Link to comment
Withers Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 natural light if you can believe it. he was in an umbrella that we brought inside the house, so i took him back out and set him on our bannister and took some pics Link to comment
halfpint Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wow. You couldn't have gotten more perfect lighting if you tried. That would look cool as a poster-sized print framed. Link to comment
