Nice shot, Trevor. Is that in some new development? Looks pretty desolate in the background except for that one McMansion up on he hill.

Activ · 06-26-2011, 08:24 PM

Thank you! And yes this area is under heavy development, the location where this was shot is actually still being built but when it is done it will offer great photography locations.
Here's another shot of the location, although I am not as stoked on this shot.

Okay, I only took a few pics with this lens, and this is the only girl and got a shot of.

And on another note, looks like a great sharp lens.

I also tried a few shots with the huge Sigma 200-500mm f/2,8 with 2xTC, making it 400-1000mm f/5.6, but those didn't turn out any nice.

Chewy734 · 06-27-2011, 06:05 PM

yeah, that is really sharp.

ISO 800, f/8 and 1/2500th second.

TL & dC great shots! Kind of looks like you "clarity" is high on that shot though TL?

Did a quick and dirty photo shoot with my car recently. I'm surprised I got any good shots at all, I forgot my tripod, and the wind was almost knocking me over. I think things tuned out well though. See the rest here

Activ · 06-28-2011, 01:00 PM

Nice shot! And you can really see how far the wind was pushing the trees wow.

You had tons of light, so why didn't you raise the shutter speed up to like 1/2000th? Be aware of the conditions, but also react.

Love the color and those wheels. I think that we may have the same wheels (APEX for me):

I love the contrast between sharp and OOF, speaking of TL's shot.

adrean8j · 06-28-2011, 03:15 PM

I don't even need to explain this one...It scared the crap out of me...freshly molted Camel Spider and about 12.7cm long taken with my el cheapo Tammy 70-300m in macro mode:

Scary scorpion, nice macro.

Do those things fly in the wind?

Chewy734 · 06-28-2011, 03:23 PM

ugh... the picture gave me chills.

LOL...no they don't...the name comes from how fast they run...in shorts spurts up to 10mph

. They are not scorpions but are in the same family as the scorpion, spider and harvestman. Many different names for them and different species all over the world: Wind Scorpion, Sun Spiders, Sun Scorpion, Camel Spider, Jerrymuglum, are all the same thing

E90SoFlo · 06-28-2011, 03:52 PM

ew.

did you kill it

adrean8j · 06-28-2011, 04:03 PM

Man I used a broom and swept it out to a ditch...I was actually to much of a bitch to get any closer than I had to...scariest looking creature I have ever seen in my life....

TL · 06-28-2011, 04:25 PM

that spider gave me goose bumps....almost want to kill it like the Samsung Infuse 4G commerical
