Took a few pics tonight on somebody's dock out on the river. Been playing with my Pixelstick more, I really like this thing, I just have to think of some more creative ways to use it instead of just the usual stuff. I went on my buddy Brad's facebook and saved a pic of him playing the guitar, then put it on the stick. I like how it came out. The other stuff is just me testing some of the patterns on the stick.

Also looks like I have an LED out. I'll have to contact them to fix it since it's still under warranty. One last one, I did my usual night photography stuff of the water. I always like it when I have clouds running across the sky, makes for a cool effect.

Has anyone purchased a new lens from Best Buy ever? I bought a 24-70 f/4L brand new with shipping to my work. I received it and it looks new and all but the shipping label states that it shipped from Best Buy Returns Center which would lead me to believe that it was a returned unit. If that happens to be the case, I would have liked it to be priced accordingly but not sure if this is just where they ship all items from. Thoughts?

I haven't bought online from them, I've bought in store my EF-S 24mm STM and EFS 10-18 STM in store, no labels there obviously... Go ahead and go to a store, speak to a manager to do an exchange just in case. If it's a legit unit there should be no issue. It'll be like they're adding to their inventory.

[QUOTE=Pintsize725;3471772]Attempted a version of Kazman's shot for my future sister in law's wedding ring. I'm no professional obviously, and I really need a proper lens. I'm only running with the cheapo nifty fifty. This really has me thinking of getting the 100mm macro.

How about Photoshopping a little of the shadow back over the ribbon ??? I'll bet not too many people will pick up on it !!!

[QUOTE=Z&I;3475191]Definitely on my to do list, just need to find time.




Played with the 24-70 f/4L and 430ex iii tonight. Photobucket crapped on the quality though.

The 24-70 f/4 is a flawless lens, I use it for all my event coverage and most of my commercial and magazine work. Never misses a beat, IS rules and the macro ability on the fly is most impressive.

:tup:
I'm testing it out at my brother's wedding tomorrow. Hopefully I manage to get some decent shots.

Planning on adding the Nikon version of that lens to my collection as well, 24-70 f/2.8 ED. First on my list though (and one I'll be renting for Zdayz this year to try out first) is the 70-200 f/2.8 G ED, pretty much one of the most popular lenses out there for Nikons. Trying to scrounge up the $1500-$2000 depending on whether I go refurbed or new new.

the 70-200 2.8 is a must have! you will love it!

That's what I've been hearing! Now to save up for it...

Think I'll be keeping the 24-70 f/4L.
I know the crops are weird. Too many people in the background and I didn't want to crowd the photographer they actually paid or get the same angles.

Celebrating 10 years with the StormFront today! Cleaned it up and snapped a quick shot of it :)

Looks great Patrick! Happy late birthday BTW.

I'm selling my excellent condition Canon 70-200 f/4 IS USM. Comes with bag, caps, hood and a Fotodiox metal lens collar for $850 shipped if anyone wants to jump on this before I list it elsewhere. PM me if interested.

And if anyone is interested, Canon has in stock refurbished 70-200 f/2.8 II IS USM's for $1688 right now! They're never in stock so this is the time to jump on that as well and they come with a year warranty. I picked one up, that's why I'm selling my other one.

The f4 is a killer lens. The was my first "L" lens and it was amazing. I had the non-IS version.

My absolute favorite shot of my car :happydance:

Dude. That's a beautiful Z! Trade for a 911? ;)

haha I would in a heartbeat.

They've got a used one at one of our local Honda dealers. $20,000 discount. Only leaves a mere 174,000 to finance!

edit: Is that the stock blue color or a special color? Looks like the Daytona Blue that used to be on the 350s, which I LOVED!

:drool:

I cant see the photos. that you uploaded.

So I'm curious, what would you guys recommend for 3 lenses to cover the widest range of possibilities for photography? I'm planning on doing a mix of wedding, personal and event photography. Right now I have the Nikon D750 and the 24-120 f/4 lens. One that I will be getting will be the 70-200 2.8 VR II for sure. I'm thinking maybe a 24-70mm 2.8 and a prime? Maybe the 50mm 1.4 af-s?

Yes. Bokeh rules :rock:

Played around with my 85MM and 200MM. And tried some experiments in lightroom.

I haven't photographed a car in a long long time, so I went out last weekend to take some. Exterior shot taken by a 5D III w/ 70-200 f/2.8 IS II, interior shot is a composite using 24-70 f/4 IS, last 3 use a single strobe in an octabox and a black flag for shade. Enjoy, HD wallpaper size!

Took some shots at a local car show. It was bright and sunny. Lot's of light to tame.

Ordered a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 to try to get some astro shots this weekend.
Might be looking into selling my 24-70 f/4L if anyone might be interested. Practically in mint condition.

Nice shot.

A few of you should enter this!

Ventured an hour outside of the city to try to get some decent photos. Here's the first real edit.

Also took the kiddo to the track for his first visit.
