truth's very own AKPM post!

Got a new camera and some glass and was messing around a bit.

You took those?? That's beautiful!
:eek: :cool:

Sprite

C- those are beautiful. They're better than some of the pics that come standard on a Mac as desktop choices.

Dig the web. Whatcha get?

You should teach AKPM how to take pictures :)

Those are real nice pics man. Good stuff.

Nice glass!

It took me a minute to figure out what was going on in the second and third shot. But I’m a little slow.

Great shots!

Thanks all. Hopefully I can learn enough about this beast before ski season.

It was tricky to get the AF to fix on that thing. Shot it with AF and manually, that one was AF.

Canon 30D
24-105 f/4L IS
70-200 f/2.8L

Truthfully AKPM, those pictures ROCK...

Cool pics. But I don't understand, what does glass have to do with it? Or did I miss a reference to an old AKPM post?

nevermind...

Glass is everything. "L" lenses rock... hard. Nice work, C - now stop being such a bandwidth whore and post pix of less than 200k...

I'll take that as a complement nice!!!

Flowers?!?!? You took photos of flowers?!?!?! Jesus Christ.




;)

Great shots man. The depth of field is crazy small in that first shot.

who stole his username/password?

Eyell take that as a cumpelmunt knice.

this is how it should have read.

Well I stand corrected. GREAT GLASS! I’ve heard and read nothing but great things about those lenses.
One day when I’m cool, and not living pay check to pay check, and can put the $$$ I want to towards photo gear, I’m totally getting the 24-105.

It was either flowers or the crazy whacko homeless dudes that wander the alley's around the loft. The flowers presented a better test of the gear. I'll be doing an depth study of urine stains and empty Mad Dog 20/20 bottles in the coming weeks.

That L series glass has mad DOF and luscious bokeh. Me likey. I'm looking to round up some urban BMX / skate park punks to destroy some clothing soon as well.

What blows me away is that those last 4 flower pics have no post processing done other than a resize.

None really. Canon 24-105 f/4L IS

Is it just me, or do close-ups of flower parts make anyone else think of certain, errr...aspects of the human female anatomy?

Nice pics, btw, regardless of what they make me think of.

I can think of at least one other person who thought the same thing...

Georgia O'Keefe

I agree, but I've seen pictures of Georgia O'Keefe.

Kinda kills the buzz.

Definitely negative buzzage.

I'm going to shoot some veggies to balance out the equation.

I recommend zucchini.

wicked friggen SHARP!


I guess thats what $3,000 in glass will get you, though. Money well spent, if ya got the money to spend.

I'm jealous. :D

I'll just keep posting em in here...
