October Trees
« on: November 12, 2014, 07:23:04 pm »

bought a used Nikon 50 1.8D for $65. Here are my two landscape shots using my super sharp & cheapo lens and D700.

Can't go wrong with a 50/1.8! People poo-poo them, but even if that's all you had, there are plenty of great shots waiting for that focal length and many more that can be re-envisioned and composed with it.

Thanks, guys. on 35mm format, my favorite focal length normally falls somewhere between 45mm and 65mm and I tend to always shoot between f/8 and f/11. My cheapo 50 1.8D is an outstanding glass with virtually zero distortion, small in size, light in weight and super sharp. Its only down side is ugly lens flare when shooting straight into light source but I rarely do that.

I'm not a fan of a telephone pole in landscape.  The half a goal sort of distracts me, I'd prefer the bench symmetrically in the center.  Good IQ though, generally speaking.

Thank you but that was where trees used to stand before the power lines rape the nature.
