Lock's pikchorez (Rain droplets up 2/2)
Permalink  

Thanks guys. I took them with the kit lens (take that, kit lens haters) because the nifty fifty's minimum focusing distance was too large. Nifty fifty is 1.5 feet while the kit lens is 0.9 feet, but I've found that it seems to be a lot closer than that. Zooming into 55mm helps, too. With these shots the closer distance negated any shallower DOF I could've gotten at f/1.8.

Ngal, yeah that and the first one are my favorites. I'm trying to find one to maybe 8x10 and maybe hang up. Most of them were wide-open (f/5.6 usually because I was typically at 55mm) and the shots were still very sharp. It was a fun day, I was looking for distractions from studying for finals :P

shanks

It poured overnight and drizzled in the morning, so the drops were still big and fresh. I accidentally walked too far into the bush getting into position for a picture and it like FWOOSHED water droplets. It was pretty cool.

^ That's neat, good use of DOF on Obama. ;D The downtown one is neat, there's so much to look at.

o ya im bak... notrly

School's been sucking up my life and probably will be for awhile. Here's 4 shots (WOW FOUR).

Funny story. When my dad was printing my photos at our local CVS (pharmacy store place that has like everything), they made him sign a release form because supposedly the photos were professional and they wanted to make sure he wasn't jacking anything and he was cleared to print them. It was a confidence boost :x

They wrote on the receipt to get the release form.

Some other stuff.

Re-cropping of an old shot. PB screwed up the size though.

Yes, Albert Einstein really loves his finger that much.

IMG36732_resized.png

One of my favorites. No editing, although later I think I'll deepen the silhouette of the cityscape area.

IMG36821_resized.png

The bokeh's always greener on the other side! This is the 70-200 f/4L's minimum focus distance at f/5.6 (not even wide open) and you can see how shallow it is.

Turkey vulture.

IMG37066_b_cropped_resized.png

Some cropping, again pushing the new lens' minimum focus distance. Razor-sharp, wide open. This thing is an absolute joy to use.

Hay guise. Some new stuff. With titles too, because when I post them up on Flickr I like having a decent title. I've been coming up with them fairly quickly, too!

ty. First one is with the nifty. Comes in handy when I've only got artificial light to work with.

And the lens is really great. With my old one I had to stop it all the way down to f/8 to get decent sharpness, which is retarded since it's a telephoto and you need the fastest shutter speed you can get. Wide-open and ISO 200 or 400 should give some real action-freezing shots and good subject isolation during sports.
