Ya but you'd be smarter than me and not wear a red polo in the middle of a green field.... I heard Star Trek theme music once the elk looked up and I realized I was wearing red of the 5 guys with me....

Thanks, and you are totally correct. It is a lot of fun to look at the images that others post here and learn from them.

I am one for EXIF though, so I often download them and crack open the info for future reference. (We used to post data with the shot)

I used to love green and blue bottles but they have become rarer in the UK along with butterflies

this is handheld so a little blurry.....

**Weevil** · 06-26-2011, 06:01 PM

Great shot RADCOM.

Driving through 600km of mountain roads and we took a break before the next set of bends...

**BeepBeep2** · 06-26-2011, 06:50 PM

I see we have a fly posted...

I took this one today, not sure if I like it.

**masterg** · 06-26-2011, 07:29 PM

I need a 50mm prime pretty bad. Looks like an f/1.8 prime is on the list as my next lens.

It's just cheap is all. If it were 200+ I think people would sing a different tune.

@ Kallenator
The bokeh is amazing.

I have to, if I want autofocus.
I may just get the 35mm f/1.8G since I have a crop body.

Kallenator

Its not just nice, you are holding one of pretty much best 35mm.

Nice photo btw.

Cheap 50mm are usually crap (modern ones, not cheap old ones, thats different), ppl liked it cause it was cheap. I think that both Canon and Nikon 50mm f1.8 have tragic bokeh in most scenarios. Not worth it. 50mm f/1.8G is out, though it will be probably bit harder do get. But as he owns APS-C, 35mm will be probably better choice.

Lovely macro, you are improving quite fast lately.

**Weevil** · 06-28-2011, 06:48 AM

Thanks Mescalamba, wish I had more time, long weekend coming up, hopefully will get more time to shoot.
