I'll kick off with a few:

Washing line in the back garden.

Pentax FA 77 f1.8 Limited @ f1.8, my first ever shot with it, fell in love there and then

Trippy!

Canon 50mm f1.4 @ 1.4

First photo I ever took with a DLSR (Canon 50D, still my only camera), believe it or not. Very happy with how it turned out.

**weston** · 10-19-2010, 09:42 PM

imageshack upload added some color banding in the bokeh, but otherwise not too bad. 50mm at f/1.8

Great pictures everyone

**Lu(ky** · 10-20-2010, 12:51 PM

I took this a couple of years ago using my old Nikon D200 with a AF 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX lens.

**Lestat** · 10-21-2010, 07:45 AM

here is an old Nikon 35mm F/2. not sure of exactly what the nikon naming is of this lens but its an old manual lens.
the inner elements need cleaned badly. i was able to get some cleaned but not the inner most elements.

the background of this is leaves and twigs, etc so it looks really busy and jumbled.

Nikon D3000 0.006 sec (1/160) f/1.8 35.6 mm ISO 400 and still learning

**Lestat** · 10-22-2010, 05:42 PM

Ledanek... do one so his face is focused

or do a juggernaut and wolverine pose where juggernaut is closest to the camera and Wolvy is focused in the background.

**Metric** · 10-25-2010, 01:36 PM

Nice bokeh robbicfc, although it seems like your shots are underexposed by a 0.5 stop or so?

400D/XTI, Nikkor F2 50mm @ F2

**robbicfc** · 10-25-2010, 03:14 PM

If I have a failing its that I generally expose a bit conservatively, so a K20D (which I think also has that reputation) and I are always going to be a bit dark. I must get myself a monitor calibrator as they always seem to be spot on when viewed on my main rig

Thanks for the input, always appreciated.

Better?

S!
