i had one with a more close up shot of the d90, and the background more out of focus but i lost it i think

The UPS guy dropped off an unexpected surprise on Friday- a 50mm f/1.4 lens that has been on backorder for the past month. Just in time for this!

I took these on Saturday, "helping" work on a friend's JK. Both photos are using a 300w work lamp for illumination, shot at f/1.4, iso 200.

I loooove the out of focus sparks!

According to DOF Master depth of field for those photos is 3 inches.

X2 Some great shots here.

Maybe i just dont have the photographers mind, but how do you guys think these shots up? It's a real art form... thanks for sharing.

This one is scanned from a photograph so the quality isn't the best, but if you click it to view full size it's a bit better. 2003 - last time I used my Nikon N60...



From '07 Fuji E900, again click to see full size

I just recently got that software. Thats actually my firt attempt to use it. It's pretty amazing how well it works. I always forget to bring my tripod with me places though so I can never use it haha.
