However, the rest are excellent, the last one would be perfect for a band shot, and in number 2 did you add the wings and halos in after you took the picture or did you use a flashlight while the shutter was still open? Good work with the new lense! www.queencitydisco.com CINCINNATI and other exploration PHOTOGRAPHY turkey  Gender: Male  |  Re: New Lens - 4 pics...slate away... <Reply # 2 on 2/28/2007 4:56 PM >   Posted by M.C.

Good work with the new lense! The first one does look a little washed out... Number 2 I put the wings and halo's in while the shutter was still open... last one I really like..as im in it too... cheers mate.

If you can't shoot it that way, fix it after the fact. 4 is cool as long as it's not a band shot - if it was, it'd be in danger of ending up here: http://www.rockand...com/hall/index.php But as an exploring group shot, it's pretty cool. The lighting's nice. 2 is teh awsum. Not a gallery-wall kind of shot, but one of the more original photos I've seen in a while, great (and accurate) use of light painting. How many tries did it take? yep. turkey  Gender: Male  |  Re: New Lens - 4 pics...slate away... <Reply # 4 on 2/28/2007 7:18 PM >   Posted by mortimer 1 and 3 do nothing for me. 3 is also way messed perspective-wise - if you're using a lens that wide and the building is your subject, you really need to do your best to keep the verticals vertical.

Thanks for the idea's.. I bought a wide angle lens because I like the distorted kind of look, BUT I definately see why you say it...for 3 The "band photo" isnt a band, im happy to say...just my mates messing about.. and the angels one, took one attempt because we were in a rush to get back home...and luckily it came out OK first time... turk ;) If its do'able, do it!

It turned out quite nicely. And I dont think if it was a band shot it would end up in "the hall of douchebags" its a decent location, just depends on what the band would be doing in the shot and their expression. www.queencitydisco.com CINCINNATI and other exploration PHOTOGRAPHY turkey  Gender: Male  |  Re: New Lens - 4 pics...slate away... <Reply # 6 on 3/1/2007 3:01 PM >   I just used the same small light to do the halo's... cheers for the comments. turk If its do'able, do it!
