New shots of the S2K, New Lens
Thursday, December 10, 2009 5:35 PM
Just got my new Cannon 50mm 1.4F USM lens in, Washed off the car and got some shots. Some of the Rinse water Froze before I could get it dry so cars still looking nasty.
Anyway, heres the shots. Shot most of them with too low of an Aperture, but Im just getting a feel for it.
New Tires, Tinting the headlights, and Painting the OE Wheels black in the next week. Also have some Tien S-Tech Springs on the way...

Your definitely doing something wrong, not a single one of those pictures looks clear and crisp which is the whole advantage of a prime lens.

For example.... some shoes using my A700 with the Sony 50 f/1.4 prime.


But on the bright side at least there's a nice car in your poor quality pics nowadays

Your such a Hater Dark!


LOL

I cant say I have a clue what the problem is. Camera is kept clean, Lens is brand new. And I only edit with Lightroom ATM.... Possibly my marking software?

Heres a non marked full scale VS marked reduced...




Looks the same to me?

I think its time to have the camera sent out, and have them adjust the auto focus, it looks to me like the whole image is blurry, were you using a filter? I have one high end Sony G lens and if I use a polarizing filter on it it throws off the auto focus and takes @!#$ quality pics.

Shots from tonight. All extended exposures at night. No moon, only star light.

now I'm no photographer, but every single picture you ever post has the same look to it... Almost a "saturated" look? Lines are soft rather than crisp, everything seems to be tinted and hazy... I dunno how to explain it but you are the only photographer I have seen have all his pics look that way. And you claim you are a pro and your pics are top notch, why are no actual pro's pics coming out like that? Trying to say this as nice as I can, but to me the subject in the picture isn't even exciting to look at any more because they all have that same foggy, darkened, dreary feeling to them. Day, night, winter, summer, all your pics have a gloomy and hazy feel.

Usually when a Photographer Carry's on a particular style, look, or feel to his image is just his "signature"

I know you dont like it, Hell maybe no one does.

Does it matter?

"...didn't think so."??? Really? Wow you are as mature as you are good at photography. Get a life and get over yourself faggot. I couldn't be more sick of one persons attitude on a @!#$ internet forum, than I am with yours.

It's kinda funny in your first post how you said you got some "good" shots... I'd be embarrassed to have my water mark on any of these let alone attempt to show them off. I have never seen an SLR in the hands of someone who claims to know what he's doing take such poor quality pics, most of the JBO members with point and shoot cameras are better at getting, clear, in focus, crisp, clean pictures.

I think it should be Chazz with the Paper Weight

All of the pics are blurry, there's definitely something going wrong with your camera or the way you're using it.

also stating the photos all seem blurred? hard to look at em. Can you manually focus with your camera? If so mess around with it and see if its something with the auto focus. I know mine I can switch to manual focus which is nice sometimes.

However I will say in the original post, some of the pictures make the car look like its a miniature toy.. so that looks kind of cool lol

Looking good man, Just please don't paint the wheels black and ruin them. They seem to be in decent condition and just needing some new rear tires. I think the silver would look much better than painting them black. Props for the nice new car that you now have!

Ill take a shot of that next chance, I have horrible eyes so Its really hard to tell through the viewfinder. But Ill see what I can come up with.

Got 2. Canon 50mm 1.4/F USM (What I used above)

And I have a Canon 20mm 2.8/F USM that should be here this week. Got is to use with a rig.

Gotta agree about the pics...

That other S2000 you posted,
that is what the pictures should look like







I mean...
Compare the two,
the other car is much clearer,
you can make out the license plates in the background etc.

Not pretending I know about SLR...
Cause I don't,
but yeah, something needs to be fixed

The pictures look great. I won't knock them...it's just the poor focus makes them fuzzy.
All of them would be wallpaper worthy if they just had that crisp pop off the screen look.
