Brilliant composition. Lighting rules too. Well thought out and executed.

I've got 2 bachelor degrees and a Master's degree. I'm never freaking going back to school....Yay!!! That said I'm in a line of business that's "always a day at school".

ive got a bachelors and a masters degree but unfortunately it’s not over yet. The next stage should be me getting chartered. However I’ve supposed to have been doing that for the last 15 years and haven’t made much forward progress so starting to think it’s not going to happen now. Not having it doesn’t actually affect my career, it’s more for personal achievement. That combined with the time commitment required for it is the reason I’ve not done much towards it. The sooner I accept I’m not doing it the better as then it really will be done and I can relax

Here's a video by Iwona Podlasinska that makes still images come alive. They are amazingly done.

WOW

That was amazing!

My answer to that (this is in jest of course).....

Family stuff. FE 35 f2.8 has some harsh onion ring bokeh balls, but it renders like a zeiss

Sounds about like me and becoming a fully registered architect...I was one exam of 9 from being done, and they changed the exams and I had to start over...thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours studying...gone. I never recovered and have not started again...and likely never will, I dont have the time. One regret in life...not finishing that...

Ugh. I can't imagine that frustration. Crazy that they can do that and all the people who were in the process are just left out in the cold.

I'm guessing it's something like school credit, if you're not active enough, they can be voided, pretty sure it happened to my wife, it was better that way, she was wasting a lot of time on school that should have been spent on children.

If she were to go back now, she'd have to start over. I'm about to lose done accreditation and licensing in the construction field for being inactive, which my wife begged me to pursue, until she realized how good my job was just sitting from home..... Ughh, wasted so much time and money.

I'm surprised about the onions, if you can get over that, you'll be rewarded with a very nice and small setup.

When shooting with the lens, I try not to think about 2.8 or perfect bokeh, because 2.8 and perfect bokeh conflict somewhat.

I don't look at noise levels at 1:1 or even 1:2, but as a whole. As long as motion blur is under control, I keep plugging away. Same with the 50.

If my family is pleased with the photos, then I simply don't think too much about technical details. I don't hesitate to use the lens indoors low light. I know for sure that 1.4 would be better, however if so many can make due with cellphone photos, I should probably make due with 2.8 FF.

Just some personal reflection I've had in the past. Better to have my camera, and in the moment shots, I feel better having much better video and photo capabilities*** (some things the phone is better at).

Having a camera on me at most times, don't think I've missed a single birthday my kids were involved in since, no regrets.

Yeah....that's super lame!

Beyond High School and the Navy, most of my education has been on the job and the School of Hard Knocks. I was 'grandfathered in' by passing the written test to get my license in X-Ray technology after many years working in the field. In construction, I achieved certificates in pre-cast and pre-stressed concrete and steel construction, testing and inspection as well as soils testing over the course of my career in that field. I was in the process of getting my ICBO and welding inspection certificates when I began working for the County.

I've never been very good at math and so I taught myself how to use spread-sheets and became proficient in the use and creation of them. I've made them for everything from creating job cost analysis for bidding projects, creating concrete mix designs, and tracking material/labor costs on million dollar County funded projects.
