I like both of those. The reflection of the bridge uprights is a really neat one.

I <3 night time long exposures.

My 17-40 is my go-to lens for everything basically. I wish I had the 16-35 for the extra f stops.

I <3 uwa lenses. The only thing that makes me sad about them is that you have to be right THERE where the action is to make them work right, and that's not always possible. And very occasionally, the perspective distortion will ruin a shot - but usually it doesn't.


Funny that you guys are talking about this. I got some Amazon gift cards for my birthday and I've been browsing UWA's all week.

Anyone tried the Rokinon FE14M-C 14mm F2.8? I'm curious.

No experience with the Rokinon, I plan to pick up the Canon 14mm 2.8 around christmas since it is on Canon's Mail in Rebate program for $200 off. If you pick it up let me know how it works out. I'm particularly interested in how well it looks in the corners since I'm full frame.

i've heard nothing but great things about the Rokinon/Bower/Samyang 14 f2.8. there's a great thread over on POTN with some killer shots.

What happens when you have 5 seconds of sunlight and want to make use of it + the strobe is not seeing the details that should've been spotted. Pretty big error actually.

I like it as well. I like the shadows and the vertical lines. The subject is ever so slightly washed out by the strobe, more of a highlight really. Looks good.

Sorry, maybe washed out wasn't a good choice of words. What I mean to say is I like the highlights on her upper arm and face.

My photoshop king-fu <<<<<<<< Yours.


Word, it would probably be cool in full B&W, I think it's gott be saturated or not at all but that's just my $0.02

PS: what's king fu?

I agree, it's cool. The colors are kinda dead though, might try B&W on this one as well.

won't stay colour :p posted it cuz the stylist wanted to see it so i just converted it to jpeg and fired it off. that shot screams b&w (which is why i picked that location cuz it's all monochrome)

And if you cropped out the base of the real pillars, it'd pass for for an Impressionist painting (Monet would be proud of it).

Good stuff, bro. Hope you don't mind the edit - not sure why you photoshopped this out of the original

dammit fuckers!

i know i said i was going back to the 17-40, but after playing around with the 35 1.4 on these last few shots, i think i've gotta go wider at 1.4, so i think i'll grab the 24 1.4..... wish they had a 14 1.4


this one was at 1.4, iso2500 and 7 seconds

Why are you shooting those at f1.4?

To keep the shutter speed (reduce star blur) and ISO (reduce noise) as low as possible. Milky way and star shots, faster the lens the better. The star trail one was shot at i think 5.6 and iso 100, but the shutter stays open for much longer, obviously.

(500/focal length) is the rule of thumb for shutter speed to avoid star trails so for a 24mm lens you're looking at about 21 second exposures max. Faster lenses = more stars and lower ISO with no motion blur.
