So I'm shooting at 1.4 all season. Fuuuh! I'll be doing food and random things too. I don't usually see lights up around here until December.

Do you have a 50mm or 35mm 1.4? Im sure its been said at some point, i just dont remember. Either way, its sick. I had a hard time choosing between a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 and the 85 1.8. It would be cool to have that extra bit of an f-stop, but I do love the 85.

Im not sure why, but the downtown area of Fayetteville (where I live) is lit up like a **** already.

I have the 50mm 1.4. I usually don't shoot any wider that 2.8. I just picked up the lens for the extra wiggle room to get artsy but I loved my 1.8.

Understandable.
Do you shoot with the 70-200 f4L very much? It seems like most of your shots are taken with the 50.

Jasper Ash

Hardly. I'm actually going to sell it since I need cash. I want to go primes anyway.

I haven't picked up my camera in such a long time. Ugh. It hurts my feelings.

Jon

I know that feeling. I've taken less pictures since I got my new camera lol. I gotta shoot something this weekend. Car, person, I don't even care.

I've been busy doing time lapses. Did one in the backyard to practice timing intervals from 12:30pm to 10:00pm with my 60D w/17-40mm F4L.

I need to try that with my 60D. Is there some kind of software that is used?
