Is that HDR, David S? Very stunning moment.

Thanks. This is HDR using 6 different exposures. Way too much dynamic range in this scene for any camera.

nothing special, but I tried shooting my brothers old pair of my shoes from when he was 3..

OK...that does it Radiohead369. I was teetering on the edge of panos and you just shoved me off into the deep end with that one. Gotta' get out tomorrow and try a pano. Nice shot!

But still an awesome shot......

Great "lady" shots guys...I would completely forget how to use my camera if somebody like that was posed in front of me....

Does this image look sharp? It was a RAW at f8.0 with a bit of PP - It looks soft t me?

If it was handheld at 1/100th then it's probably just blurred. You didn't use flash, did you? You might also enable "mirror lock-up" in your custom functions when in low light. Much easier just to use more light and bump up the shutter speed though.

When did you get this lens, Eric!?

Lol, I've had this lense for awhile now

I used a tripod and the timer to take the shot to avoid shake. But it was 1:30Am and I was pretty tired! I need to get out and take a load of shots and see how they come out I guess! Thanks for the comment though

Also, "autofocus" isn't always as precise as it should be. You might retry the exact same shot but instead, use manual focus. It would be good if you could get a razor-sharp shot of the above scene, but you may not. My own 24-70 shoots razor-sharp in most lighting conditions but seems a smidge soft in certain lower-light conditions. And that may just be a matter of AF not being able to zero in at lower light levels. I'm still learning this stuff myself. Does the learning ever stop?....heh heh.

You have no mercy Dude........here's a guy that's already fallen into the deep-end, no lifeline, not nothing. Then you gotta' put your heel on his head with a comment like that.

Just kidding...but it's photos like that, that inspire others. Thanks for sharing.
