	Since I've posted and asked for critiques. I recently (in the last week) picked up a 50mm 1.8 canon lens. And thought I'd give it a go here for getting photo thrashed. Anyway. Have fun. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. RIP Blackhawk

	Beautifully abstract. I would only suggest cropping the left of 2 so that the telephone pole silhouette doesn't have the small amount of sky beside it, might work better for framing. And leveling 6. http://www.flickr....irdlingphotography

Thanks weirding. I agree. Right after I posted. I thought "oh shit. 6 isn't straight. "

I guess the abstract and the details is what I'm better at. Than... wonderfully expansive shots that explain where you are.

RIP Blackhawk

	Very nice! I remember all the fun I had when I first got my nifty fifty. I just wish I could figure out how to get that razor-thin focus on what I WANT it to be on when it's all the way at 1.8. It always winds up on something flat that is not the subject of the photo. She who hesitates, sees bulldozers.

Aw. I know what you mean. It's so fun. I don't think this lens is going to come off the camera until I get a good wide angle. And that wont be for quite some time.

Why not try manual focus. Either that or manually select your AF point.

I use specific af points all the time. I'm really horrible at manual focusing. :/

	These are amazing, especially 3, 4 and 5. Macro gets badly overdone by explorers, but this is macro done RIGHT! "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
