how awesome. I really likes those shots, but I found myself wanting high-res versions, especually of the ocean. You should make me a desktop picture. Dooo eeeet!
What an awesome trip, though. It sounds like you have great fun. :-)
It was great fun. I'm still tired, though. I hope to recover enough to go out tonight!!
Are you running a 1024x768 display? I'll be more than happy to send you a desktop background of the Pacfic! Is the e-mail address in your userinfo correct?
my 50mm is the greatest thing ever. Even without zoom, it's amazing.
I'm not even sure how much I like zoom....but wide angle shots certainly have their place. If you look at my journal, you can see some shots i've taken with it.
Very crisp too, much crisper than my stock lens. That being said, yes, 1024x768 would be awesome. You should post a lil desktops gallery! C'mon, do it! :-)
I'm glad you like the lens. It really is a terrific lens, especially for the price. Prime lenses most always resolve better than zooms, with only a few notable exceptions (the 70-200mm f/2.8 is probably the only zoom lens that can match a prime).
When my old system was destroyed last year and I had to start over, I went for almost a year with only prime lenses: 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8, 90mm f/2.8 and a EOS 1n. I had to get used to not having a zoom, but it really helps to get that experience. You learn to "see" in different focal lengths. Unfortunately those prime lenses won't work on my 10D (they're old Sigmas), so I had to get a couple new lenses. But whenever I use my 1n, I still use only the prime lenses!
i already stuck some of those into my desktops folder. I really like the one of the fence, but hands down the ocean one is my favorite.
Good to know that stuff about the zoom. I've never really been a fan of zooms, I'll use them because they're available to me. However, I figure they're more for sports photos, I can't think of much else I'd use them for. I'd really like a wide angle lens without a zoom - wider angle than the lens that came with my rebel. Meh.
Thanks for the compliment on my shots. Perhaps if I buckle down, I might be able to get a job doing this!
Zooms are very practical for photojournalists because of the need to rapidly adapt to the scene. When I was working asmy newspaper's temporary photographer for a few months I only had three lenses: a 17-35mm f/2.8, a 50mm f/1.4 and a 70-200mm f/2.8 with a Nikon D1X body. Today I still use a similar setup when I'm working freelance, just because it's so easy to react. When I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, last September I took only prime lenses, and I admit that I missed a few shots because I was changing lenses
( ... )
Well, I should probably give wedding photographs a try then. I do enjoy taking pictures and being at the scene, far more than i'm sure is healthy sometimes. :P I think I'll build a portfolio and starting trying to freelance. Vernon has quite a few small newspapers.
...now that I think of it, Manchester has a small newspaper or two as well. Wouldn't that be exciting.....

Also, were you ever able to get into my iDisk?
Your 50mm is in ... how do you like it?

Those new photos you posted look awesome, BTW.
