Rusty Barb

[jgs001]

My turn to try some barb wire. I shot this using the 55-250 and Raynox handheld. It was really tricky with the sun low behind me to get enough light to enable me to capture this at a sensible shutter speed. This is the only one that worked... I'm not sure the 55-250 IS works properly when the Raynox is on the nose so I turned it off.

Thanks for looking C&C please.

....it has a lovely texture

I was just thinking I know a thread started this evening where this pic could have gone. Lovely close up of the detail John, very nice

Great shot John I did a rusty barb last year, but yours is much more rusty and has more rustier, well spotted, brill detail

Fraid not I'm not brave enough to take pictures of people as yet.. give it time and I'm sure that'll happen.

Thanks very much Janice.

Great texture and colours on that wire John. You certainly seem to be giving that Raynox a good workout!! I have yet to use mine - Must try it on the nifty some time soon.

It's certainly good to see what you are doing with yours

 

[BeHappy]

oooh I like that!!

 

[jgs001]

Thanks Sara and BeHappy.

It's certainly good to see what you are doing with yours

It works real well with the extra length beyond 50.. get's in silly close

 

[swag72]

John, Do you find any difference in DoF or anything between having a longer focal length or just 50mm?

 

[jgs001]

Sara, yep. Huge. at 55mm, there is some, although not a heap load. At 250mm it's virtually all gone even stopping the lens down to F32. I have an image I shot yesterday, it's not good (I was trying a few things out) but it clearly shows the DOF at 250mm... I'll dig it up and post it so you can see.

great detail in that John, nice one
should have stuck that in the texture challenge tuff now !!!

 

[jgs001]

Cheers Dave, yes I should, and I'm miffed with myself. Didn't even see the texture challenge post till Yv mentioned it :bang:
