lol challenge accepted. i got a surprise but you gents will have to wait till tomorrow for pictures.

 

Post up, man! I want some activity here.

 

I'll post something tomorrow. We haven't put any decorations up yet so I'm limited to food lol.

 

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.

 

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

 

 

 

We put our tree up yesterday.

 

Nice, dude. What lens was that taken with? Pretty sharp.

Thanks it was taken with my 50G.

 

My puppy tries to murder any camera he sees, I was lucky to catch this before he tried to sniff my camera to death, haha

 

ahh i been hiding.....

BOKEH! :D couldnt get the color temps right....stupid street lights

 

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

 

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?
