the photo wheel companion

Michael Jones is such a good photographer. That train station shot, man.

fyi i can do beach/ocean photos for weeks

Ditto.

Also, someone post a mountain or landscape, I'm dying here.

Only thing missing from Mr Jones' shot is Vincent and Max.

Wonder who'll get what I'm on about?

I don't get the reference!

(And thank you, emil.y - I think everyone is shining pretty hard on that thread. And some of the visual links are great.)

wish i'd been around to follow up this

Ava and Lulu in the Lexington in 2023?

Also wished I'd got in a little earlier today so I could've gone with Richie Hawtin performing beneath a Canadian flag. Leading to all manner of amazing DJ photos from people who actually go out in the evenings!

xp aye, Google Glass has integrated temporal shift photo uploading by then.

The graveyard shift

wow, where is that ledge?

Tate Modern, the turbine hall is often empty between installations.

(London) (UK)

I have at least three hundred thousand Tate Modern photos

But the wheel just kept on turning...

everyone's pics are so great, i am enjoying how I'm now starting to be able to know which users are which by their pics.

chinavision has some really A++ pics imo

I need more great pictures of people dancing and less pictures of buildings dammit.

i love the tate modern

ty vegemitegrrl!!
lunchbreak photowheel brainstorming time ahoy

that photo of the girl in the dress on the scooter has been floating around in my head for days

Now I'm considering how MJ could have given Robert Pershing Wadlow a blowy without having to kneel down, sorry, but I bet I'm not the first.

you might be the first

Not with my kids present.

millsner i like your pictures!

thanks very much!

Come on folks, if I'd known my ugly mug would be up for nearly 24 hours I might've reconsidered. Does anyone have any ladybird pictures?

Excellent, MaresNest!

I was looking for a ladybird, but all I have is a caterpillar and a snail.
They will have to wait.

Yea, sorry no ladybirds either.

The bunnies top it all off beautifully..!

I had to grab that off FB and put it on Flickr for linking purposes; shows how much I've neglected Flickr over the last 18 months if I didn't put that up at the time!

omg not_goodwin, amazing transition and amazing photo

Thank you.

Superb.

(Sorry, too many of the kids from me. But, what can you do?)

People too nervous to post up tangentially ass related content?

It took a while but i found an arse.

Ignore my belly please, i was on holiday and was enjoying food and drink.

Fingers xed for an led audio spectrum analyser close-up shot next

that's some trippy bokeh - zoom lens i presume? which one?

not_goodwin's shot? Click through, you might be surprised!

hah, the thrifty fifty!

Everyone should have one.

You beat me to it.

I no longer have it, I looked at it wrong and it broke. Looking for a decent prime at the moment to go on the 5D that's sitting idle.

I love my 85mm 1.8, £300

You'd recommend in then MaresNest? I was thinking of the 50mm 1.4, how do they compare?

rent, I love that desert shot with the shadows, I want one of them in my stream.
Where and when was this?

I have the thifty and am considering upgrading to the 1.4 at the end of the year. I can't truthfully say which is better, these threads may help?

I've seen a few comments about the 85 along the lines of 'Best EF lens in the range, almost as good as an L' etc

*tsk* thrifty

have just the 1.4 but i never use it wider than f2. i'm moving towards a 35 & 85 or 35 & 100 pair which i feel will cover a better range than 50 & something.

i've owned a few 1.4 lenses and even a 1.2 lens at one point but i never used them at 1.4; i think they're good if you fetishize bokeh or you really do find yourself shooting in low light situations a lot. often times the optics are /worse/ than a 1.8 or 2.0 lens since wide aperture lenses require compromises in the lens design.

like i think the 50 1.8 outperforms the 1.4 and the 1.2 throughout 2-4 or 2-5.6, though it evens out by the time you get to smaller apertures? could be wrong

Yeah, the 50/1.8 is really good and it's hard to justify the extra cost of the 1.4 beyond build and silent focusing. I don't think there's much difference in image quality.

85/1.8 gets rave notices. I've borrowed the 100/2.0 before and that's marvellously sharp. The non-L primes are the best value Canons, I think. I love my 28/1.8 but I've always used it on a crop-sensor, so it's basically a normal lens. It would be a very different thing on a FF.

I was getting paranoid, someone do as Mr Jones has requested.

ledge that is v. v. perfect imo

! v kind
