What lens Huck? Lots of CA on the last pic, did you shoot in RAW?

Huck · 08-19-2014, 09:58 PM

35mm 1.8g Nikon. What's CA? Don't know that term yet, I always shoot in RAW

Zdayz 2014!!

Chromatic Aberration, the very annoying color fringing around objects, prevalent in lower end prime lenses. My 50 and 85 do it to a sharp degree from 1.8-2.8, but I always shoot raw so its moot to me. On your last pic, look close at the rope and you can see purple fringing. Still a cool shot nonetheless!

Huck · 08-21-2014, 11:49 PM

thanks for pointing it out guys, I didn't notice it before or I would have fixed it in lightroom. I think I have a button for that lol.

kayha12 · 08-26-2014, 02:29 PM

Yeah it was bad with my 50mm 1.8, but I can't complain, still the best $100 lens to this day! a nicer lens you would have to be at 100%+ crop to notice it. But yeah lightroom or adobe camera raw, there's a button to remove it. Usually does a good job. Worst case you can desaturate the greens or purples. It's mostly green fringing or purple fringing or both even

Another good bang for the buck lens
Tamron 70-300 f4-5.6 VC. I picked mine up second hand for $260, but I think new they're still under $400. Shot with it both with my 60D and 6D, I like it much more on the full frame but the reach is crazy on the crop sensor. Will be tough to get of if I ever jump the gun on a 70-200 f2.8

Haven't posted much in here for a while since most of the stuff I've been shooting has been bigger events or races. Last Thursday I spoke with a friend of mine over at Michelin HQ here in Greenville and found out they had a preproduction Porsche 918 on display in the main atrium since Michelin had developed a new tire specifically for the car, the Pilot Sport Cup 2. I asked if I could run by for a few minutes and take a few photos and he obliged. These were definitely not the right circumstances to take photos worthy of such an amazing feat of engineering but I snapped a few nonetheless. We couldn't move the car, it was locked up and there were people all around it constantly but I still managed to grab a few cool detail shots. Here's a link to the album:

Porsche 918 Quick Shoot - 8/28/2014 - JPMcG Photography

A couple fav's:

There's a few more shots worth seeing in there so give the album a quick look!

Huck · 09-09-2014, 12:06 AM

My very first attempt at something not car related, so go easy on me lol. Plus I don't think this 35mm prime is the best lens for super close up type stuff, so... there's that.
