What do you guys think of this one?

it was a test shot for exposure. I shot it at an odd angle, but i think i manage to recover it with lots of cropping

heres another one.


on a side note, before anyone critiques, Im aware of the flash reflection
1. i was to lazy to paint it out.
2. I was using on camera flash and was too lazy to mount the flash on the stand.

Keep in mind photos will look different on different monitors.. unless we're all calibrated. Also when you export for web, there is color loss, saturation, luminance, etc..

What might look fine on one person's monitor might look really wack on another... in the end, anyone who is semi-serious photographer needs to have their monitor's calibrated.

I know what you mean... I tell Chris to not finance mods.. (for anything, car, camera, etc).. do it only if you got the cash and can afford the loss.

It's a good deal, but you will live. Personally, I'd spend my money on the 12-24 instead. Did you take a look at it?

I wholeheartedly agree with the importance of a calibrated monitor.

I know what you mean.. 1D's are in a tough spot when it comes to lenses.. esp wides. 16-35 is great UWA and fast.. but not wide enough.. I think 14mm is gonna be the wide and fastest you will find for a 1D.

What do you plan on shooting with the 14mm? I don't disagree that fast lens is always nice, but depends on the context if it's needed too.
