If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say it.

Tell that to the rest of the forum. Its a good photo non the less.

I often do, but this is neither the time nor place to discuss that.

That mouse photo is quality!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Great shot of the mouse!

Making the most of the xmas lights in the high street:

Great shot Dan

@Cliotoby, mate its kind of an unwritten rule in people photography that you critique the photo rather than the model

Loving that, so detailed and sharp. Is that with one of the big Sigmas? If so was it handheld?

Thanks, i appreciate your comment.
It wasnt with a Sigma (sold mine few months back), it was with a 300mm and 1.7TC.

hi sam

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Nice pics Cro, kudos for making the trip out!

I had a little play with my X100, with my Lee filters, as the adapter arrived the other day. With my Big Stopper, I have a 13 stop ND filter!!

This was only two minutes, I couldn't be bothered to do a 16 minute exposure!

Got a 50mm 1.8 in the post this morning so decided to have a play around the house. Not sure if this is any good but I liked it, so I uploaded it..

Any C&C Welcome..

what you lot think of fixed lens then?

Ive got a 30mm macro. Ive seen some of Evil giraffe's photos with 50mm fixed and they seem to come out well.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Fixed lenses rock! Partly why I got the fixed lens X100.
They make you think about the shot more as you can't 'cheat' and zoom in on details.
And they're normally faster if you get a good one so you can play about with super shallow depth of fields.

Primes to use the correct term (a fixed lens is more like Dan’s X100 where the lens cannot be removed) are generally better performers, due to the more simplistic designs. They’re usually sharper, and quicker to focus, plus the main attraction is the faster aperture, which as I’m sure you already know will get a more blurred background, or a shorter depth of field.

I’d highly recommend one, I have the Sigma 50mm F1.4 and it’s a stunning performer.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I might have my 50mm 1.4 for sale soon as I can't remember the last time I've used it! I always reach for my 85 1.4 if I want those types of shots.

Cheers for the comments about the mouse photo
Loving my 35mm (unsure weather to invest in a 50mm or is there not much point seeing as i have the 35?)

 

[Cliotoby]

Oh right coo. theres a 35 or 40mm Nikkor for about £150 i want. But unsure what to buy atm. Want a 100mm macro, a VR lens to replace both the 18-55 and 55-200 lenses i have and also a new camera.

 

[ukaskew]

Speaking of primes, 35mm 1.4 arrived the other day, incredible lens. Popped up the road to the most decorated house in the UK...
