An LS1 RX-7 *56K Warning*

Here are a few shots that i did for my friend. After this shoot i have come to the conclusion that I really need to get rid of this kit lens. Tell me what you guys think.

Thanks

Ken

Are you sure its the lens?
your exif data is missing so I cant tell but at what setting did you shoot at?
did you use a tripod?

Not a great lens at all, but not terrible under the right conditions either. When I need a wider angle, I've taken thousands of shots with it.
Archive best shots from the "kit lens"-EF-S 18-55.

theres a hell-load of jpeg compression on those - im sure the high quality versions look alot better.

why would you need a tripod for shots like that? It might just be the compression or how you saved them or at what quality. Pictures look good to me, but for a LS1 powered RX7, you could have shown some engine pictures (to show emphasis)... just looks like a normal RX7 to me...

I had previously taken engines shots, so it wasn the emphasis here. But here is a shot:

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

sharpest point at the wide end is f8, at the long end is f11 imo...

I think these shots are fine. Like previously stated, it might be the compression. Also like previously stated the kit lens has it's sweet spots. I know a guy that has all kinds of high end glass but I have seen him with that kit lens mounted on his 20D more than any other lens. I might add he is a great photographer, I wish my pics looked as good as his.

My first thought when I saw shot #2 was, "is that oil leaking under the car" maybe you could clone that out. Other than that, fine shots, and locations.

As a rotary owner myself I always cringe when I see this conversion.

But I love LS1's too so it evens out.

Great photos

im viewing from a PDA and it looks blurry on the screen.
now that I see it from home on an actual monitor, I see its compressed...A LOT.

gotta love the LS1 RX-7 but i still do love the blat of the wankel.

very nice car

nice car there

I just 're-uploaded' the shots for a better resolution. Plus i think i have found a better way of saving jpegs for the intrnet.

Thanks for the comments.

hey KC, are you in Gainesville? the shots look good, especially compared to the shots i got out of the kit lens.

"Better" is relative. Yes, they will look better at almost a MB in size, but you'll upset the 56K people if you don't put a warning in your title. (I added it this time)
Look at some of Kenny's shots. They're under 150KB & look pretty good!
