My first 'exhibited ;)' shot with my 30D & nift-fifty. Not a serious shot, just though I'd see how the f1.8 DOF would work on the gills of a Toadstool :)

Full frame :-

100% crop of gills:-

I didn't notice the bug until I cropped in PS :lol:

I love the NF! Shame it doesn't get as much of an airing as it deserves on a cropped body.

EDIT: Am I supposed to take a shot specifically for the comp? This is from a few weeks back.

Um...What do you mean by nifty :thinking: ?

Sorry, I'm new :D

The Nifty Fifty is the 50mm f/1.8 lens which you can get for about £70. At last for the Canon and Nikkor versions anyway.

It is nifty because of what it offers for such a cheap price.

Kerso will do you a good deal on the nifty :)
PM him and ask, he is very helpful.

I like the composition in the shot mohain. It sometimes looks like an optical illusion.

Cool! I'm glad this one came back to the top.

Here's one, it's not an example of what the Minolta 50mm 1.7 is capable of because it was snatched, hand held at 1/15th, f5, iso800 at night, through a shop window. But I'm usualy so crap at photographing people (apparently I can be intimidating :shrug: ) that I really like this one.
The naughty kid in the sweet shop is my lovely GF "Jules-bringer of beer".

Some nice shots. Stuart, the ones of the dog are hilarious!

All my photos are taken with a nifty fifty as it's the only lens I can afford. I broke mine last week :shake: but thankfully Moley's been letting me borrow his.
A few of my best:

Do these count as Nifty Fifty shots? They were taken with an old K-mount Chinon 50mm f1.4 lens on my Canon 400D.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1122/1233806004_1ef6dea92d.jpg

I was considering getting a new 50mm but as long as I can put up with manual focus I think I'll stick it out.

Bob

10-11-2007, 21:52

What's going on in that pic Jo, with the lighter 'ghosts' of the turbine blades?

13-11-2007, 18:05

It's effectivly an HDR shot, but the lower part (the ground) is a layer from only one of the exposures if that makes sense?

:thinking: close ups of snow dizzle? ;)

ok, its been wet and miserable so got some flowers, the 50mm and set them up in th econservatory so I could use as much natural light as possible. This has had about a 30% crop, as the 50 won't focus quite as close in as i wanted for this shot, but I love the detail :love:

Hi,

This is my 1st attempt at linking a photo so hope it works, It's as it came out the camera apart from a resize for posting here.

This was taken with a 400D f2, 1/60th, iso400 and a fair bit of luck. :)

Don't worry fella, you soon get used to it. Also have a look at katz eye focusing screens as an option? and one other thing, I think I know you! (actually, I've just looked at your flickr so I might be wrong but I do know a couple of different foggy's from molesey, one of them is even called chris!)
