Nice stuff.
Have you tried any "macro" with the 10-22? I dunno how close it focuses but my fisheye focuses super close (like I can basically have the subject touching the front element and it will lock lol). You can do some interesting stuff with it, especially if you stop way down to get a lot in focus. |

| Yea it has a ridiculously close focusing distance but too bad theres virtually no zoom. Still feels like the object is a mile away. lol. |

I got a 430EX II, and I've been shooting a lot at Occupy Boston with it and my fisheye. Getting some interesting stuff.

All 1/200, 5.6, iso100 or thereabouts, 430 off cam, direct and mostly with the wide diffuser card. I just ordered a couple real diffusers to play with so hopefully I don't blind people as badly lol.

Awesome pics. I was heading down to Occupy Dallas, before it was moved, to both protest and get a few photos in, but I can't afford to get arrested. I'd be living on the streets the next day.
Not to mention that 3 of my friends at Occupy Boston were arrested recently. |

Yeah those are from Monday when they got raided. I left at about 11 and BPD raided at 1:30.
The one where they're interlocking arms to form a wall was from earlier in the day when BPD sent a ton of cruisers and unmarkeds by with their lights on.....People thought that was the raid so they walled the whole park. That ended up being the cops going to South Station's garage to plan the tactics of the raid. |

I love the people female doging on DPR about the reduced pixel count from the 1Ds, talking about it as if we're back to 2MP or something. 18MP on a full frame chip is going to be perfect for pretty much everything, sans maybe studio work where they shouldn't even be bothering with 35mm anyway as Hassys and Mamiyas will always be king of the studio. Not to mention this thing will eat light (or lack there-of) like nobody's business....Finally we have an answer to the D3s. Can you imagine this thing with the 50 or 85 F1.2?
I cant think of anything else I could want in a camera that this thing doesn't have. Looks amazing ergonomically, the networking is brilliant especially for the time they're announcing (Olympics and elections coming up as well as the Occupy protests....PJs can actually shoot RAW and send it instantly to a remote location to be worked on by someone else).....it just seems absolutely perfect from the specs. Very excited to see what they do with the 5D III which is more realistically in the reach of us normal people.
RIP APS-H 1.3x. |

Agreed. Canon did their homework and realized there is a perfect amount of pixels to cram on that size sensor. You CAN ruin image quality with too many pixels. This one seems to be the absolute sweet spot for pixel count and sensor size. I cant wait for actual test results. This thing will rock.
Sadly, Ill never get my hands on one I bet. Its as much as my car cost me. That thing set me back 5 years, lol. |

Halloween Snow Storm (and it's been in the 60s-70s since then). Yay New England. |

| Oh, that's a cool photo. If only NO snow was on the left side...then it would completely contrast. Still a very interesting photo! |

Yup. Its wide. Click to expand. 25 image HDR Panorama. First attempt. I think it turned out pretty good. Going to go back though and use a different technique to get more detail in the shot.

| They're bent at the edges. How are you supposed to see what happened if they're bent at the edges? |

Fish-eye actually captures way more than he could capture with more standard focal lengths. But it does that because its like looking through a fishbowl depending on the focal length of the lens.
When used strategically, it can really be cool as it bends straight lines and really accentuates the world around you. In some cases, its a terrible lens to use.
But in general it will allow you to fit a ton of view into the picture. In his protest pictures, you wouldnt see half of what you normally would with a 50-80mm lens. |

The corners aren't the subject of the photo so I don't care how distorted they are. I find with them being curvy it draws into the center where the subject would be (at least when composing with a fisheye typically). I use vignetting in Lightroom for the same effect when I have a centered subject.
I use it for large groups (the protest) because I'd rather be really close than shooting from across the street with a tele. I like to be walking through the crowd and still get all of whats going on in front of me which wouldn't really be possible with a standard lens. I also typically don't use the viewfinder with things like that so with the ultrawide fisheye I don't have to really worry about not getting what I want in frame. Directing the lighting/flash is more important in that case, which is why I use it off camera.
Plus I like it, thats why I use it. |

Finally got my stunner shot of a Tiger.
Taken yesterday at the Cleveland Zoo. Amura Tiger. Breathtaking animal. |

| Real, have you tried one of those Spyder calibration thingys for your monitor? I just got a new monitor...colors and contrast aren't so great compared to my old one, hoping that thing does the trick. Lightroom is really nice on a big screen though. |
