I quite like this.

Btw, if I have some dust in my lens... how can I get that cleaned?

This is after a little PP - CC encouraged!

I'm curious, what PP has been done on the Beetle shot? If any? It looks like a bit of vignetting around the edge? Is EXIF intact?

OOps, see my reply above...this shot is the one I meant!!!

James

Adjusted the levels a bit, a bit of sharpening and finally the vignette. Let me get the orig.

This is going to sound bad... but I'm not entirely sure what EXIF means. :-\

exif basically details all the information on your shot...tells you what type of camera/focal length/aperture/shutte​r speed/etc.etc.

here's some exif from your shot:
# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/90 second = 0.01111 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 95/10 = F9.5
# ISO Speed Ratings = 200
# Original Date/Time = 2008:09:27 22:34:57
# Shutter Speed Value (APEX) = 425450/65536
Shutter Speed (Exposure Time) = 1/90 second
Aperture = F9.5
# Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
# Focal Length = 50/1 mm = 50 mm

Cracking shot mate!

Thank you, Phil!

hi everyone...newbie here! just got my 50mm 1.4 about a week ago and i've been reading about the AF problems that some people are having.....so i tried focusing on different things to see if mine was ok...then i was trying to focus on a white wall and it wasn't focusing...it kept trying to but it couldn't and i wasn't sure if that was normal since it's a white wall and if the camera just doesn't know where to focus since there's no contrast..or is there actually anything wrong with mine? When i try to focus on things that are high in contrast then it works but when it's a more monochromatic scene...(or a bare white wall) it seems to have a hard time..is this normal?

Thats normal as far as I have heard but you may want to ask in the 50mm 1.4 thread too
