So, is that your reason to forget Nikon and go with Canon? LOL

Those are all the lenses he happens to own

what happened to the Sigma?

ROFL

Dave wrote:Nikon's problem is they need 50 cakes for a party and only actually make two or three... Or they bundle the cake with napkins, forks and balloons when all you want is the cake.

A beautiful analogy...

I own the canon 17-40 f/4L, sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX macro, canon 85mm f/1.8, and a Canon 70-200 f/2.8L. Don't have the canon 50mm f/1.4 yet... Oh look I don't have a 135mm f/2L or a 300mm f/4L like you, but I decided NOT to put my camera gear onto my student loan.

It's not a question of you ONLY own a few or a lot of lenses.. You just happened to suggest *most* of the lenses you happen to own... It's never about money retard.

In other words, what it sounds like to me is that you're telling saturn he should be like you because you're The Man.

I just happen to do a lot of research and pick the proper lenses. n e questions?

Define proper, please. What works for you doesn't work for everyone. Research or not it's irrelevant to state what you own since nobody asked in the first place.

lol, fuck off with your 'advice'

Frog eyes...

whats this full frame tb is talking about and wtf does that have to with a lens?

I don't think he knows what the hell is going on and completely went off tangent with his Canon infatuation during the discussion.
Anyways, he presumes everyone uses Canon and only shoots the way he does.

On the topic of full-frame sensor versus cropped(APS-C)-sensors in regards to lenses is the difference in FOV(field of view), if you didn't already know that...

right, but he uses a 20d right? isnt that 1.6/1?

im going to buy a full frame flash card...

I have a full frame. It takes pictures and life goes on

I've been in Korea for over 4 years and it still amazes me how late high school students finish classes every night. Here is an example showing them still working away at 10pm. This isn't just one night, it's every night from Monday to Friday.

Regarding the photo, I sat and observed this scene for an hour on my roof top(drinking and smoking away) waiting for the bell to ring so students would get up and move around. Prior to the bell the rooms would've seem empty. The first floor are staff offices and the upper two floors are filled with bustling students. I believe the person in the third room from the left is the principal. Just a wild guess...

I also left the exposure pretty dark because it was close to what my eye saw at that point as the outside flood lamps were all off.

I really like your foto's FX.....what kind of lenses do you use and do you do a lot of post-processing?

lol, nearly fucked the topic up then eh?

thx mate...

ok, last one for tonight.....friend of mine rocking the kite on the beach (yeah, he's quite black)

love the colours you're getting. lightroom?

tbh, I was being lazy tonight so I just fired up iPhoto and increased the sharpness and toned the exposure down a bit. Then exported it to Flickr. That's all.

I subscribed for a Flickr Pro account, now I've got unlimited online storage for fullsize digital pics. Just 20 dollars a year or something.
