*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #1

yeah, the "watch one" was more of an effect that the lens gave the picture.

i understand bokeh, but i was just so geeked on the cool effect that i entered it.

i have some amazing shots where the background literally looks like a smooth backdrop.

so soft and creamy.

i think both of them were hit with action on CS5.

i know the first one definitely - PTM B/W Film

i "think" the second one might be an original, just messed with the typical levels and such.....

Had a hitchhiker this morning. Luckily he stayed quiet and was content to chill on the a/c vent. First stop sign I came to, he was out.

After several weeks of work and travel keeping me out of the woods and away from my favorite ponds and lakes I finally got back out and here's part of the result:

Nice shot! I'd really like to get into shooting more birds and wildlife. If only I could sell a new lens purchase to the wife.

Weebl · 06-14-2011, 07:59 PM

Sell wife, purchase lens?? not really.
Or for ~1300 get a 300 F4 and 1.4x if you are shooting a Canon.
It works nicely for me on my 40D but focusing is not so hot with the 40D.

I've found it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask for a lens. Just buy it.

Litos · 06-14-2011, 09:04 PM

my two favorite lenses......

24-70 F2.8 and the 70-200 F2.8 VRII...
