This was a runner up in PP magazine wasn't it? cracking shot - thought it should have won then when i saw it!
 
One from Friday.. 5D, 35/1.4L wide open

Summer cabin, just emerged from the sauna to cool off on the terrace.. The mirror broke off in my 5D classic about 20 minutes before (and apparently will be fixed for free) but I shot this anyway with no viewfinder image, no AF and no metering :shake: I was ****ed off I didn't bring a backup camera and tried to make the best of it.

Well 35/1.4L fortunately has a distance scale and I could work out the exposure with a quick test shot to see the histogram. Framing was "off the hip" to say the least :D And yes I know 1/30 seconds is too slow but the 5D can't do better...
 
one from yesterday - my little brother in a pub, the first time I've seen him since he got married. M9 / 35mm

I like the way his head is framed by the bridge, a micron to the right would have been even better and you've chopped the top of his finger off. :LOL:

Nice shot Wibbly, it's great to see inspiring results with similar kit to what i'm using.

Almost all of the photographs I've taken have been with a prime lens, it's the only one I use!
Recently took my favourite photograph yet which was using a prime lens, though have posted it in another thread (The seasons - personified) so won't post again here!
These images of my Dad and Grandmother are probably my favourite portraits :)
