the photo wheel companion

it's ok, you can talk about it

can i mod this thread

sure

ty for starting this thread gbx

still really miffed that we can't get the two non-belongers out of thet thread, no offense against hurting or PP but you know

It's all going to be fine. The wheel is unstoppable now.

pp should have rolled with it and trolled us all with stories of his days as a white house photographer.

reminder for all ILPers: old.css displays images larger than any other css (afaik)

I took my photo, and thank you schlump for fixing it!

man I wish I had tags on my flickr photos now

and I never noticed that different stylesheets reproduced images at different sizes before. didn't realize how large you guys were posting images. get ready for 1024 pixels wide from here on out folks.

Damn, I didn't know that. I've been linking to the 640px versions of my Flickr pix. I'll move up now...

i think old.css still crops to like 1200 or something, but its more generous than any other stylesheet

wow I love this btw

beautiful!

Thanks, it is one I'm fairly proud of.

So much good stuff on the wheel - dayo's fever dream tortoise in a shop was a recent favourite

ty! I carry that tortoise everywhere

btw, the name 'photowheel' and the quote at the top of the thread is all credited to schlump

I wish I had more to contribute. Still enjoying everyone else's stuff, though.

I've taken one good photo in my life (maybe 2), and I'm waiting for the chance to drop it in there.

Haven't done much this year, but this thread is inspiring, so much talent.

cant BELIEVE the wheel is stalled on a CAT photo. you guys have got to be kidding me that you dont have any cat photos

near half my photo library is cat photos, tbqf

the rest is split between snaps of my gf and airplane window shots

I did have some cat photos but none had the feel of that shot and I was wondering whether I was being a bit overliteral in my selections (like "I've been there!" "I have one of those!").

I'm in the pub and just wanted to point out I have a photo ideal to follow william c's wing mirror but because i'm using my phone and won't be home til Sunday I won't get a chance to add. The wheel must keep spinning!

Aww, thanks. Managed to do it on my phone, unfortunately i appear to have exagerated how goo a photo it was after having drunk a few beers.

yep, i took it there.

figured the middle of friday nite was as good a time as any.

*applause*

Just woke up to a shocking turn in the photowheel.

goodbye horses

emily where was that last one taken?

I feel guilty about my html goof, apologies folks, awesome thread tho

gr80, it was a temporary exhibition at the N0ttingham Univ3rsity boating lake a few years ago.

This is brilliant!

Thank you! I often think of that pale yellow crate. Sometimes it's in my dreams.

What a terrific sequence! I knew we wouldn't be stuck on my solo dancer + Elvis's dad shot for long...

Apols for the HTML screw-up; forgot that, although Flickr offers code for a 640px version of a very old scan, it doesn't actually exist until you "create" it by going through All Sizes (it pre-dates Flickr routinely creating that size for new uploads by several years). Only 500px is available for very old pix.

Testing...

Ah, no, even that doesn't work.

Memo to self: don't select 640px for old pics.

fyi i can do beach/ocean photos for weeks

Michael Jones is such a good photographer. That train station shot, man.

fyi i can do beach/ocean photos for weeks

Ditto.

Also, someone post a mountain or landscape, I'm dying here.

Only thing missing from Mr Jones' shot is Vincent and Max.

Wonder who'll get what I'm on about?

People too nervous to post up tangentially ass related content?

It took a while but i found an arse.

Ignore my belly please, i was on holiday and was enjoying food and drink.

Fingers xed for an led audio spectrum analyser close-up shot next

that's some trippy bokeh - zoom lens i presume? which one?

not_goodwin's shot? Click through, you might be surprised!

hah, the thrifty fifty!

Everyone should have one.

You beat me to it.

I no longer have it, I looked at it wrong and it broke. Looking for a decent prime at the moment to go on the 5D that's sitting idle.

I love my 85mm 1.8, £300

You'd recommend in then MaresNest? I was thinking of the 50mm 1.4, how do they compare?

rent, I love that desert shot with the shadows, I want one of them in my stream.
Where and when was this?

I have the thifty and am considering upgrading to the 1.4 at the end of the year. I can't truthfully say which is better, these threads may help?

I've seen a few comments about the 85 along the lines of 'Best EF lens in the range, almost as good as an L' etc

*tsk* thrifty

have just the 1.4 but i never use it wider than f2. i'm moving towards a 35 & 85 or 35 & 100 pair which i feel will cover a better range than 50 & something.

i've owned a few 1.4 lenses and even a 1.2 lens at one point but i never used them at 1.4; i think they're good if you fetishize bokeh or you really do find yourself shooting in low light situations a lot. often times the optics are /worse/ than a 1.8 or 2.0 lens since wide aperture lenses require compromises in the lens design.

like i think the 50 1.8 outperforms the 1.4 and the 1.2 throughout 2-4 or 2-5.6, though it evens out by the time you get to smaller apertures? could be wrong

Yeah, the 50/1.8 is really good and it's hard to justify the extra cost of the 1.4 beyond build and silent focusing. I don't think there's much difference in image quality.

85/1.8 gets rave notices. I've borrowed the 100/2.0 before and that's marvellously sharp. The non-L primes are the best value Canons, I think. I love my 28/1.8 but I've always used it on a crop-sensor, so it's basically a normal lens. It would be a very different thing on a FF.

love that shot by micah

rent is that in the taklamakan

thanks. dat broken shutter

yeah micah love that x 2

thanks not_goodwin...the camels were in the sahara, in morocco, last summer

i love how the dog just blends into the sidewalk

My fuzzy ball pic = third ever upload to Flickr, March 2005. Crazy days.

where is that ringed concrete ball?

it was outside pyongyang, on the way in from the airport

Bloody hell rent.

ha thanks, that pic was 99% getting up early and standing in the right place, though. if you google bagan, myanmar there's a million similar shots. amazing spot.

What a sequence!

Yeah Rent, that pic is marvellous!

thanks!

I was waiting for that Mr Jones.

I took that photo 21 years ago!

disclaimer: my photo might not seem to make any logical sense, but way back toward the edge of the cliff are the sawed off wicker man feet

micah, is that some kind of pinhole camera? or a lomo panoramic

yeah it's both, their wide pinhole camera. it really burns through film you know

hah, how many shots per 36?

it's medium format so 6, or 7 if you start early and finish late.

ah. i have a fuji 6x9 that gets 8 shots per 120

jelly. a med format rangefinder is something i've wanted for a while but i don't know if it will happen now.

LL i like your photo

why thank you
rip wicker man legs -- now it's just tiny stumps :(

everybody put your beach photos away, now

last three look like they're taken from a stop-motion film about nature reclaiming the planet from a dead civilisation

And now the planet is inhabited by giants!

one cool thing is how the photowheel also works in reverse

ledge that frisbee blowing my mind

If anybody has a UFO photo for real, now's the time

It's been nearly a month... Kids are on the laptop right now, so I can't contribute but someone should!

I was getting paranoid, someone do as Mr Jones has requested.

ledge that is v. v. perfect imo

! v kind
