These are ok but not really rocking it for me. The processing looks like you've lost some quality in the images?

You've got blow out areas in your shots that are distracting - not always a bad...

Yeah - that's better. You can embed the image in your post though I think - even from a different url, bypassing FK compression (when did that happen).

Yeah - that's a good shot. LOVE the...

This is a frame from video? You shooting with a 5D MK II?

The shot is well lit. Composition is good also.

Is this with your 85 1.8?

That's a nice shot - the ferriswheel one. Great light.

Here's one from me:

You'll be happy with that lens. VERY happy. It's a stunning lens. IMO one of the best lenses going for portrait shots when you need to shoot quickly. Excellent for weddings. Very tempted to buy one...

Thanks - I'm trying to use nothing but natural light but it's getting difficult now that the nights are drawing in (light levels are pretty low after 7pm and I don't get home from work until gone 6)...

Ha.. no I mean you'll use your feet to stand back more.

There is a fair amount of PP on that photo but the original photo always needs to be sharp to start with.

The focus on the 1.8 is, in my...

Thanks - I'm trying to get a few posts a week on there but it is taking up a load of my time.

Enjoying it though.

I'm liking the montage style and also the angles you shoot at.

These were shot with your 50mm 1.8?

I like how you use a wide aperture for background blur but, if you did get that 85mm, the...

You'll notice the difference in terms of focal length between the 50 and the 85 -the 50 is more "real life" as in it pretty much captures what you see. But -the 85 will force you to use your feet...

Putting together a little food/cookery blog. It's more of a way for me to document stuff I like but it does give me a chance/excuse to take some photos. It's early days yet but there's a few photos...

It's an interesting photo - I'd like to see the scorpions in the foreground in focus though - your focus is a little behind the front scorpions.

Are those seahorses endangered? Then again, I guess...

Damn... Those are amazing.

What lens?

That's really pretty good. What's the lens on that camera? Is it a proper macro lens then? There's some serious detail in there.

All shot with the Zeiss 100mm macro planar.

All natural lighting - thing is, at this time of year (and after all the rain we've had recently) the leaves are all a beautiful, vivid colour - so, any...

Cant remember if I tried my 100mm with my macro tubes - could be worth a go.

Got some macro shots I'll post in another thread.

This forum is on its last legs.. let's try to inject a bit of life into it.

Here's some pics I took recently with a (borrowed) 85mm 1.2

I was in Naples a few years back. Italy is a beautiful country but Naples felt like a different world - it felt like I was in Brazil - in a shanty town. Italy is a crazy country - a county of...

#1 I like - nice series. I like shots like that - the old lady still working hard.

#2 - That's crazy - why so messy? Don't they have *shhh* mafia there to make sure things are kept in order?

#3...

Nice - does this camera shoot raw?

Get some shots up on here then..

There's a number of ways of doing this - none of them will be as good as actually shooting with a wide aperture but you can do better than using a quick selection..

Thing to remember is, there's...

Really nice - love that high contrast stuff

Nice - would love to get out and photograph on a morning like this.

Maybe push the exposure a touch on these shots and the contrast a little - especially the last shot - would like to see a bit...
