Pballer2005 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 oh i was gonna say wtf are you doing with that thing for it to need 4wd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 wtf, 4x4 and AWD are the same thing I thought? and how is it not 4 wheel drive! I'm so confused. "Got the lights like that by closing up the aperture to I think f/22 in that shot. It's just a property of shooting through such a small aperture. Neat thing is that all the lights are all 7-pointed since the lens I used has 7 aperture blades." Thats cool! 4x4 locks front and rear axles so they rotate at a fixed rate and usually have a lower ratio in fron than in the rear. awd puts variable power to each axle and they are allowed to spin independently from one another, like a limited slip. that's why you should not leave a 4wd vehicle in 4x4 while it on the street because it puts strain on the drivetrain.

sup Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 *Correction, 8 aperture blades on that lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 i found a way better deal on a 28-70mm 2.8 for like half the price of the 24-28mm 2.8 i wonder if theres a big difference, ive heard nothing but great things about the 28-70mm 2.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find the 28-70 f2.8 for a good price...grab it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find the 28-70 f2.8 for a good price...grab it in my opinion. yeah, i went ahead and sent payment via paypal for 950. ive researched them and found them up to 1500 used but i guess theyre all used noew since its discontinued. nate- you shoot with the 50mm 1.8? how is it?

CleanGSR Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I used to shoot with the 50mm f1.8 but once I got the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 I never used it (sold it with my D70s). My Tamron is every bit as sharp wide open as the prime (in my opinion at least) and it's nice to have the wider end. I have a feeling you'll be the same way with the 28-70 f2.8 as it's probably as sharp wide open or sharper than the 50mm f1.8. Plus I don't really need the f1.8 since I get very acceptable shots at ISO3200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 gary, do you have one of those tables that light up? those are great. you should be a product photographer, for reals. heres my latest cityscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Here's a landscape which is out of my style. It's gotten a lot of good feedback on the 2 photo forums I'm on so thought I'd post it here And the style of photos I usually do Not sure if I like the first edit or this one better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'd vote for the 2nd one Nate...the black edging on the 1st looks a lil weird, makes it looked photoshopped.That 1st shot of the grasses is sweet, looks like a HDR image. Black edging?? What do you mean? Oh, and thanks. The shots of the cattails was actually an old throw-out that I re-edited. Now I really love the shot.

Now I really love the shot. I think he means the halos outlining the flower, a result of usually too much high-pass sharpening/use of the clarity slider. I'm almost done processing the shots from the ballet rehearsal I shot a couple weeks ago, only about 100 more to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nancers, my setup is actually really basic. Just a bunch of printer paper held together by tape with a piece of plexiglass on top. That and my two Speedlites.

Yeah...that's what's weird. There was no high pass sharpening and very little editing other than levels/curves. The last one has a ton more editing to it. It seems like the darker one is most people's fav. anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
