Now I'm considering how MJ could have given Robert Pershing Wadlow a blowy without having to kneel down, sorry, but I bet I'm not the first.

Come on folks, if I'd known my ugly mug would be up for nearly 24 hours I might've reconsidered. Does anyone have any ladybird pictures?
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 09:50 (ten years ago) link
Excellent, MaresNest!
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 11:32 (ten years ago) link
I was looking for a ladybird, but all I have is a caterpillar and a snail. They will have to wait.
― not_goodwin, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 12:14 (ten years ago) link
Yea, sorry no ladybirds either.

The bunnies top it all off beautifully..!

I had to grab that off FB and put it on Flickr for linking purposes; shows how much I've neglected Flickr over the last 18 months if I didn't put that up at the time!

Superb.

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?
― 乒乓, Thursday, 23 May 2013 23:23 (ten years ago) link
not_goodwin's shot? Click through, you might be surprised!

hah, the thrifty fifty!

Everyone should have one.
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 23 May 2013 23:32 (ten years ago) link
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
― MaresNest, Friday, 24 May 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link
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?
― not_goodwin, Friday, 24 May 2013 23:45 (ten years ago) link
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
― MaresNest, Saturday, 25 May 2013 09:22 (ten years ago) link
*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.
― micah, Sunday, 26 May 2013 11:27 (ten years ago) link
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.
― 乒乓, Sunday, 26 May 2013 11:42 (ten years ago) link
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
― 乒乓, Sunday, 26 May 2013 11:43 (ten years ago) link
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

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

― 乒乓, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 15:18 (ten years ago) link
