[TokayKeeper]

not to be in a meanish tokay attitude, but is that canon lens really that soft?...

Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 micro at 1:1 crop on Nikon D70

Not trying to steal your thunder or come off as a d***. Just surprised at how "soft" some of the pics look for a macro lens.

C.A.N.O.N

My camera desperately needs a good cleaning. I have tons of censor dust and my camera gets a ton of use, so sending it off for a few weeks isnt really an option. My pictures dont get a ton of extra processing beyond an auto contrast and cropping and stamping. I work in a "low light" situation, so i use an f stop of about ~14, sometimes as low as a 10 or 12 depending on the gecko, and with an ISO of 400 since I refrain from using an on camera flash, its the best I can do, and still not get 1/2 my shots to be totally blurry [the new medication I am on makes me REALLY shakey] and My shutter speed is usually a 30th-80th of a second.
Last night was also my first night with any lens other then the one that came with my kit. This is also the first SLR camera I have ever used, and I am completely self tought. Ive never taken a class, ive never delt with film, and I dont claim to have been at this stuff for years.

It could be a <edited by staff> lens, it could be my camera. or it could just be because I suck. Who knows?

times 3245963248526349525 LOL I don't have 8 weeks to allow Nikon the time to clean my camera's sensor.

It could be a <edited by staff> lens, it could be my shitty camera. or it could just be because I suck. Who knows?

I wouldn't volunteer that on such public forums. :main_rolleyes:

either way, just curious and felt like giving you a hard time, mainly due to using a piece of artillary (a "cannon") for taking photos.

Well, I thought the RAPTOR eye pics are awsome, Best I have seen. I would like the second and or 3rtd for a background I dunno my res. Its a 19 in flat screen but not wide screen..

 

[Ccrashca069]

Tamara those are awesome pics. Great job.

 

[eric]

I wonder if that lens will fit my cannon rebel xt? What kind of camera do you have? great photos by the way very nice..

Tamara's image is slightly over exposed and (tokay), your's is under exposed slightly. Her lens has less DOF at the same aperture and the images suffer from slight camera shake caused by the slow shutter speeds. At 1/30 the rear curtain of the shutter will cause camera shake, especially hand held.

I can open tamara's shadows 25% and throw a smart sharpen on it and it'll be just as sharp as that nikkor lens

Believe me, I owned the nikkor 60 and 200 micros before going canon. they are no more sharp than that 100 macro and L glass is warmer to boot.

Yes Eric, all EF mount lenses fit any Canon camera made after 1989(I think that's the year the switch from FD to EF was)

 

[PacHerp]

Right on, Paul! Keep on rockin' Tamara! Those shots are a fantastic start!

 

[paulnj]

Sometimes I even sound like I know what I am saying :main_laugh:

 

[eric]

oh!! gecko poop its the great Cannon Nikon debate!!

 

[eric]

thanks paul it is EF

 

[paulnj]

Debate.... I shot a f100/ F5 nikon and Canon digital...... Both are worthy cameras.

 

[eric]

we like are cannon rebel eos xt when we bought it there was this debate who was the better camera nikon or cannon the called it even..

 

[dmward]

Those are freaking awesome pictures. I like the composition. Very Cool. A lot better than all the photography you see in books regarding leos.
