I am not quite to sure on what it used to be but right now it is a clothing store in globe,az. it was built in the mid 1800's. the facade of it really is quite beautiful.

here is my photo 400 studio lighting course

[bboarder711]

new lens! again haha. i sold my slow ass small 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 for this 18-70mm f3.5-4.5


here is the first test shot.

Rich, your zoom ring is backwards!

I too just got a lens to add to my collection. A 28-105mm F/3.5-4.5 Canon USM. This is by two or three fold, the best glass I own.


As I continue to learn, F-stops are not the end all be all to the amount of light a lens can let in. Here are two similar images. The first was taken with my former low light champion, the 50mm fixed lens while the second was taken at 105mm with my new 28-105mm.

50mm
ISO1600
1/15th
f/4.5


105mm
ISO1600
1/30th
f/5.6


I meant to make the settings exactly the same, my I slipped up a bit. I slipped up to the disadvantage of my new lens which as you can see is much brighter despite having a higher shutter speed, higher aperture and over double the focal length.

Damnit Rich, L series lenses start at $1000.

[bboarder711]

hahah i know
atleast you have an L series

also did you have your lens hood on when at 105mm? that can make a difference also how wide is the filter ring on the lens compared to your 50mm mines 67 vs 52 and my 50mm has a built in hood

heres some I took with a canon powershot a520. It was raining last Friday and had nothing to do.

[bboarder711]

i liek the reflection in the sunglasses yet what if you put a few drops on rain on it then you have a shot.

the reflections of the water and glass would be rediculus plus you would get the viewer to think wtf are there sunglasses when its rainy!
