well, after a night spent time attacking a curvy river road, my friend Rob whos a photographer texted me to see if i felt like going downtown for some pics of the sunrize. sure why not. hes a real good photographer, he has a full 2 page spread in honda tuning and something in super street, so some of his skill rubbed off on me. its interesting shooting with other photographers, you exchange ideas and photo spots and stuff. i gave him some of my ideas, he gave me some of his, and from what i saw in his flickr, we ended up shooting mostly the same pictures lol. oh well, whatever.
this time i brought my dads camera bag and had all 3 lenses with me. my regular 35-135, the 75-300 and my dads new 85mm f/1.8 lens. this lens is ridiculous fast, it seriously has a few inches of focus depth, everything in front or behind is blurry. awesome lens for portraits and detail shots with high depth of field. im a fan of this kind of photography in the 1st place too.
big concrete block with the steel wire to hook a crane to. first pic i shot with the 85 f/1.8 lens
a truck sign. the tree is about 1 foot behind the sign, the depth of field this lens can do is amazing
Rob and the new veterans skyway bridge in the background
we ran into train tracks pretty much right on the edge of the water. they have to been there for a long ass time, probably 100+ years.
sunrize over the veterans skyway bridge
then i busted out the 75-300 lens and got a close up of the sun and the clouds
5/3 bank building. damn i need an 18mm lens, Robs 18-200 got the whole building and the grass around the base of the building, my 35-135 could do nothing better than this
cherry st. drawbridge
the plaque for the above bridge
random path at the base of the 5/3 building. my dad gave me the idea to desaturate all but greens, it came out awesome IMO
another one of those 1 step 1 pic deals. ended up with about 20 pics of this dude, got about 15 feet away before he flew off, i had to unzoom the 300mm, IIRC this one was shot at 240mm.
more of the f/1.8 lens
moving water. 1/4 second exposure at f/27 and iso 100, had to take the brightness down quite a bit to make this work
frozen water. 1/3000s at f/4.5 iso 1600

my partner in crime for all the high depth of field pics. baller lens
another depth of field, this one and the one above were taken with the 75-300 at f/5.6.
its amazing how you can focus in on a 1-2 inch wide strip of something with a big lens and wide open aperture, or a stupid fast lens like the f/1.8.
enjoy. comments always wecome, and now im going to walmart to get some oil and shit.
