[Jason C]

Jason C - would you care to elaborate on lighting and exif? That is unbelievably sharp!I apologize for not stating that in the first place:

Self Portrait
1/50th sec @ f/2.8
ISO 400
Tripod used
Existing window light only
Remote shot using HP 9335 Laptop,
and one long wooden spoon to take the exposure.


I'm taking Photo 10 at a community college in the evenings, and the current assignment lighting. The above pic of me is for the window lighting only portion of the assignment.

Time was around 4:45 PM, the window light was coming in the east facing window. So, the main light was being reflected from the building east of my window and into my room.

Exposure was full manual, Adobe RGB, Sunny WB with Picture Style custom defined for "zero" enhancments. PP using DPP, switched to monochrome, edited an "s" curve and added a little sharpness.

[Jason C]

One more thing, damn I'm ugly... :neutral:

[steve215]

^^^ it's true. JK LOL!!!! great shot:)

[ninjaboy]

well took delivery of this lens at weekend ,woke up this morning to find snow and brilliant sunshine rushed for camera and went into the back garden before it melted well pleased with the shot.

[willy b]

Jason...Brilliant shot mate!

[lbennett]

there is no way my copy is that sharp at 2.8 makes me want to get it calibrated. do you have to physcially prove your lens is off, or can you just ship it to sigma and they will work on it regardless? Jason, you got an excellent copy friend!

[UmphreyBogart]

i put some of these in performing arts too but this was my first concert setting with the nifty fifty

You might want to send it to Canon first...;)

Haha! Oh shoot, I was thinking about my sigma 24-60mm. I need to spend more time away from the archives :oops:

Anyways, thankfully I have a 50mm 1.8 on order, so I will be able to take the shot regardless. :lol:

beautiful shot :)
using a 5D is cheating though :P lol
but really..
lovely shot, i'd try a vignette around the edges, the bokeh at the bottom of the frame is quite harsh and relatively distracting, in my oppinion,
eyes look awesome! very sharp and a lovely shot to look at :)

[rohicks]

Got the chance to shoot a 98 BMW M3 this past sunday.
Here is some of the shots with my 50mm...
These are straight from the camera with some minor vignetting in some of the photos.

Plus he just got the BBS wheels not to long ago I'm sure he wouldn't let them go haha.

[hammer418]

Picked up my 'nifty' today, and it appears I've purchased a good copy.

f/2.0
muted window light
old oak flooring gives a pleasant bokeh, IMHO

[trials2k]

this thread (as for alot of people) has influenced me to REALLY want to go out and get this lense!

the image sharpness you seem to get from it is immac in alot of evry1's shots.. The shallow DOF you can get with this lense is crazy! im looking forward to the day i get it, coz i will be out the whole day :P

btw lense caps come standard with it right? does this lense need a hood at all?

thanks

[Photo_Rebel]

Yea, this thread also made me get the lense, and yes, it does come with both front and rear caps.

Now, go out and get one! :D

Lens cap yes (as with every lens should come with now a days), and lens hood - no (i guess depends on where you buy it from).
I finally bought my lens hood for this lens sometime 1-2 weeks ago and was shipped out last week; it should be here today or sometime this week ;)

[shack]

does this lense need a hood at all?

IMO no. The glass is set deeply in the lens...enough to avoid most flare and enough to protect the glass from getting hit.

[hammer418]

shack - I agree with you. However, I did purchase a rubber screw on hood for less than five dollars. Having heard that the lens doesn't take much of a jolt to separate the two lens-halfs, it seemed like a cheap investment.

Hi, first post here at POTN. :)

Still learning and reading a lot since I'm new to DSLR.
This is excellent lens, well...low built quality, but great IQ for the money.

Here's one from me.

Im guessing a lomo action/preset of some sort and a warming filter? Maybe a cross processing action at a push?

And great shot by the way, really nice edit :)

[willy b]

[DarrenSA]

I can hardly remember, but as already said:

Cross processing action x2
Multiply layer at around 25%
Warmed up using curves
Slight vignetting

That's pretty much what I used as far as I remember.


DarrenSA, what PP did you do on the second shot above?

Thanks.

Its a Richard Mille watch, not sure about the price, but it should cost well over USD 5000

It's a little soft, it was hand held and not real bright outside. But it doesn't bother me on this, I think it worked.

[caiguar]

oh yea, you shouldn't worry about it, this lens really is a wonderful lens, I bought it specially to take portraits of my kid and its doing a wonderful job, when i have the money maybe i'll get the sigma 30 f1.4 since this feels a little long at times but for an introduction to primes this is a great lens.

whats the focusing distance like?

focusing distance is pretty close...probably 4-5 inches is my guess...i set my camera on a tripod...hooked it up to the computer to do remote shooting...used the computer to see when i was in focus...and then took the shots...all this was just with the 36mm tube...i'm excited to get em out and try em more soon

awesome stuff, always wanted to get a set of tubes for the 85mm 1.8, that'd be awesome.. 85 1.2L would be even more sweet with tubes :P shame i dont have one :( *sighs*

I have had this lens since Christmas and have not used it much until recently. It has definitely become one of my favorites. Here are a few recent ones.

[loony33]

Starbugs78 haha, lol, too darn cute!
It seems though that the sharpest part is the ear versus the face.

[davo_robbo]

Powerslave there brilliant! What body were these taken with? Extension tubes I'm guessing...

Pr0digital, again love those, especially the feet one!

[powerslave]

Thank You :)

No extension tubes, they were taken using a Canon Powershot A570 IS (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NK3H4S/). :)

Why did you post those pics in this thread?

[powerslave]

Why did you post those pics in this thread?
Because I took them with the 50mm f/1.8II :rolleyes:

[JoYork]

Why did you post those pics in this thread?

I wondered that too but if you click the links he explains how he did it. :)

[powerslave]

Isn't it amazing what the little powershot can do with a little help? :)

[Photo_Rebel]

A bit of a voyeuristic shot there, Chuck... ;)

[chukdivad]

Because I took them with the 50mm f/1.8II :rolleyes:
Very cool experiment. Do you have any pics of the setup?

[powerslave]

I do, but before I post those, may I point you to the original source of the idea:

[_aravena]

Nice, maybe cause I never looked but where are inversed rings to turn lenses around?

[powerslave]

Well you don't necessarily have to find the exact spec reverse ring. You can stick two 52mm-58mm or whatever dimensions your lenses are converters and make it work.

It's really potent.

[Brandon Anderson Photos]

here are a couple of mine

Love the shot Chuck! lol

[DreDaze]

couple more typical shots done with extension tubes...flower was handheld...rose was on a tripod...all done with 20mm tube only...DOF is very shallow with the tubes i've discovered...no cropping/pp...just resized

[WhyFi]

This was one of the first shots that I took with my 50 1.8 - mah pooch, Lucy -

[BLUEORIGINS]

I'm still pretty new to photography, so I know these pale in comparison to other's pictures :o The weather's not been so great since I've had it, but I love the few shots I've been able to get with it. I'm excited to get better at it :D
These were taken in the pouring rain, but my daughter trooped through it. And, yes, her hair really is pink :eek:

[powerslave]

All of a sudden my 50mm seems to be front (could be back) focusing a lot. :( In all modes on the 400D

[WhyFi]

Not the sharpest pic in the world (still getting used to the shallow DOF!), but one that I like none the less -
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2312/2454448432_49193ce7cd_b.jpg
I love that I can get natural light shots at 1.8 that I simply wouldn't get otherwise.
