This hawk actually showed up this one day and never came back.

This redtail Hawk was at a state park near me

And More pesky squirrels

ken- shallow DOF, depth of field. Open aperature, small number, think dialated pupil.

i try never to have to replicate DOF with software. It's difficult (for me) to make look natural.

Onzedge- I love my 50mm f1.8! It is a blast to shoot at dusk. I will post a couple of shots after I get home from dinner.

Nice skills and kit you got there nick

onzedge · 08-01-2011, 06:49 PM

Nick -- the last time I saw a squirrel that close up it had crosshairs on it.

BeachZTT · 08-01-2011, 07:25 PM

Nick- love the hawk shots. We had a couple in my neighborhood and never did get a shot of them. Had some great "branch" and "leaves" shots though.

onzedge- niiiiice purchase! You are going to have fun with that .

Here is a shot with a 50mm f1.8 hand held at around 9:30 at night... dont' know what settings because I can't find the original image!

No edits other than a crop.

onzedge · 08-01-2011, 07:37 PM

Nice shot, beach. Great, just great. Another lens I am now going to convince myself I need.

BeachZTT · 08-01-2011, 07:44 PM

Thanks! Good thing is that you can pick one of those up for almost nothing. I think I payed just over $100 for it. It's plastic but good glass. Lotta fun for your buck with that one. The f1.4 is more than twice the price.

Nick911sc · 08-01-2011, 07:48 PM

Thanks everyone!

Beach great shot there!

Spec Jay · 08-01-2011, 07:56 PM

you cant go with with the nifty 50. for the price theres really not much that can match it.
50

18-55

think my next lens will be the 10-22 for cars and video

BeachZTT · 08-01-2011, 08:07 PM

Love those shots!

Canon 50D or Nikon D50? Both are great bodies!

I still have my D50! Love it. Some of my favorites shots I have ever taken were with that camera. Here is a shot from my 50 with a $139 Sigma lens...

Spec Jay · 08-01-2011, 08:14 PM

who are you refering to? lol

BeachZTT · 08-01-2011, 08:19 PM

Sorry, your shots Spec Jay.
