Really like these. I love that your getting up close and filling the frame with your subject.

Made a pano of a some shot out of the library hard drive.

No I don't but I think its essentially a must have. I'm not paying for the official one because Canon is charging too much.

3rd party knock-offs are showing up on ebay and I will get one of them within the next few months.

Agreed 100%. The last lens hood I purchased was a knockoff from Amazon and it's been on my 10-22 (that gets used daily) for probably 2.5 years now with zero issues. Pretty sure it was $5.

heres an interior shot of my car. just finished fixing the inside up. new steering wheel and all.

Thanks that lens is great to use for things other than macro I've discovered. Or should I say as well as.

Thanks will check thread and look around.

Saw beautiful glowing morning glories this morning but when I went back to snap pick they were closing up (thus the term "morning glory" I have learned)

will try to get there tomorrow a.m.
I really love how it looks like the insides of these flowers appear to 'glow'

I do most of my shooting hand held too. Those shots of yours look so sharp is why I asked.

Maybe mine are too, I am my worst critic in the whole world.

Oh I hear ya brother!

I recently got re-acquainted with the mask in the Lightroom sharpening panel and it helps isolate what you want to stand out. Having a good sharp image to begin with of course always helps and that is why I take multiple shots...

EDIT: I also meant the "Auto-Mask" when using the brush, too...

Thanks, btw

After my experiences with the Tamron 90 f/2.8, and the new Canon f/1.8 stm, I think I'm falling in love with prime lenses!

Does anyone have experience of mid wife primes, say 24 - 30 fast primes.?

Thanks

Im not too sure about Mid-Wife primes, my wife is ok at the moment
HAHHAAA
but yeah, Im also a prime fan, most of my work is done with primes.

In terms of 24-30mm primes, It was something I looked into, the problem with the STM primes, are they "only: 2.8" ... And the proper fast primes are pricey.
I therefore picked up the sigma 18-35mm F1.8 (constant aperture zoom), that is mindblowingly good, fast and sharper than the 2.8 primes at 2.8.

And Rose that Sigma at 1.8 is way fast enough and sharp enough for the Milky Way which you are blessed with.
