and... I see someone has combined these post now. Don't think that will keep us down for 1 minute. LOL

The great pics just keep on coming. I've had mine for a few hours now but the rain and thunder storms just keep on coming so can't get out there as yet. eryk showed us his 'studio type' shot.... any others from anyone?

Reaperman

Combining the posts wasn't designed to "keep you down for 1 minute". It was to make sure that others that want to view and/or contribute their shots could do so in one thread that was easy to find over and over again without a search.

vkalia.
What I was trying to get across (and yeah I know I did it badly is this), out there in photo land there are some very good pics and some very bad ones. Pick up any Photo Magazine and try and find some shots with a 50mm f1.8. We know the members of this forum can take great pics with it as they have proved. But there doesn't appear to be any in the mags. Why?

I imagine it would be due to one or more of the following reasons:

1/ Most professionals use zooms for their added versatility. The quality difference is negligible when it comes to saleability of an image, and the zoom lets you get a particular framing/perspective without too much futzing around. I used to carry my 50/1.8 around but rarely bother anymore. At $60, I couldnt be ar$ed trying to sell it, but it doesn't get any use either.

2/ The 50mm is a bit of a "boring" viewpoint (and on a crop body, it is also not very useful except as a portrait lens). A lot of street photography is done with WAs (28mm or 35mm), and again, from a selling point of view, an extreme perspective or focal length makes an image more saleable.

You don't see too many images made with primes these days anyway.

:lol: Keep 'US' down for 1 minute... I used the Royal 'WE' referring to the wonderful Canon 50mm. Was meant to be a ha ha.

StaticThought...I'm now really disappointed. Does she take photographs? :lol:

Here's a pic I tried just in bright sunlight and hand held. I think I'll use a tripod next time. :oops:

You don't need a tripod, just something smaller than f/1.8.

Try that same shot at f/11.

Steve... Many thanks...I'll be giving that a try. I tried a Canon lens cap today with f1.8...f5....f11.......f22. Still think my hands were a little shaky leaning over the top of it which shows at f22.
But thanks again... appreciated.
