Digital Photography
Re: Digital Photography
Yep, well I could certainly be wrong, but it sure looks like sensor trouble.
Re: Digital Photography
Yeah, I don't get things like that at 30" with a high ISO... Faulty sensor as GT mentioned probably.
Re: Digital Photography
Well, as he pointed out, it was with low ISO. Weird.
Re: Digital Photography
I've shot low ISO before as well, no sensor strangeness occured..
Well, my K20D came back from repairs! Time to shewt moar.

Wee, I got to go up in the control tower and get some bitchin' fly-bys. :3 Unfortunately, you got sun from three directions, up there (sun, reflecting off the ground and reflecting off the glass behind you), so I got scorched pretty good.
A longer lens would be nice, though; almost all of these were cropped.

Re: Digital Photography
Amazing shots! Much better than trains anyway
Re: Digital Photography
Wow, you got some great shots. "B-2" and "Display" are my favorites.
Did you add a tilt-shift effect for "Display", or is that photo pretty much untouched?

Re: Digital Photography
I really like "Chevron Stunt", and also "B-2".
Re: Digital Photography
When you're shooting telephoto at max zoom with what looks like a wide aperature, you'll probably get some DoF in there.Zero260 wrote:Wow, you got some great shots. "B-2" and "Display" are my favorites.

Or am I wrong about the max zoom?
Re: Digital Photography
Yeah, that's at 250mm, but I'm not sure if the blurring is limited depth of field or unintended selective focusing. I had accidentally dropped my camera (thankfully it landed on the battery grip), but the plastic camera mount on the lens had cracked, causing a piece to protrude, keeping it from lining up properly with the lens. I've fixed it, though, and everything still works peachy.
Re: Digital Photography
Wait... a telephoto with a plastic mount? Let's back that up... A lens with a plastic mount?
Re: Digital Photography
Yeah, that's most of Canon's EF-S lineup, for you. :B My 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS (kit lens, currently going for a little over $100) also has a plastic mount, and the 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS (~$200) is, for all intents and purposes, the sibling lens. My 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM has a metal mount, as it should, being over $1,000. (Glad that didn't break when I dropped it the second time. : .)
Edit:
Actually, my EF 50mm f/1.8 also has a plastic mount, which is possibly evident by the price (~$100), but I'm certainly not complaining, as it's fast and sharp (though the AF is noisy and hardly works well).

Re: Digital Photography
I know I'd expect the 50mm 1.8 to have one, I've read about its poor construction a lot. xD But it's got great sharpness.

It's one hell of a camera. I'm drooling over the 1080p video, 63 metering zones, and 100% coverage...

Holy crap, where's my credit cardzz..Stereo wrote:1080p video, 63 metering zones, and 100% coverage...
Re: Digital Photography
1080p with variable frame rates up to 30fps (29.97) and 720p up to 60fps (59.94) and full manual control, so you can adjust shutter speed, aperture and ISO for video.
Re: Digital Photography
It also does 24fps for that old school cinematic effect..

Ohhh, I see it... It says "Win." in the bottom right.
Re: Digital Photography
Yeah... I don't see it. :B
Anywho, was in San Jose, Thursday and Friday, visiting some friends. While they were at work, I decided to go for a walk with my camera and to keep it set to M. I almost always shoot in Av, but I haven't been taking many photos, lately, and wondered if, maybe, that was the reason. So I went on my walk, took not a lot of photos, but most of them turned out good, and I had a lot more fun in M than pointing and clicking in Av, letting the camera do all the work.

Re: Digital Photography
It's dead.
Turns out it's been broken since the air show, when I dropped it; the auto-focus, specifically, but I never tried turning AF on until just the other day, but the switch wouldn't flip. Ended up taking it apart to see if I could fix it and found that it was in much worse shape than I had anticipated, with broken electrical contacts and the mount wasn't in such great shape, either. I could reassemble it and ship it off for repairs, but I'm guessing that would cost more than the lens is worth, so I'm just gonna retire it and start saving up for another long lens. Maybe a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM...
