Any photographers in here?

Let's get a bunch of 100% crops going! It'd be a cool comparison so we can see real world differences.

Anyways..like I said..I shoot weddings in the summer..a lot of them. The 100-400 is not fast enough in low light.

never seen a moose in person, very nice shot.

yeah I guess that makes sense.


I will post some 100% crops of all the lenses I have!

 

[tekkie]

the problem with 100% crops is they will be under different environments so you will see different results either way

I will try and grab some from home on the weekend

These are converted straight to JPG from RAW. No editing whatsoever.

huh?

My photos. I guess everyone just passed by them.

Some fun with it.

Now thats a pretty sweet looking edit. May I ask the adjustments??

Long ago my father gave me these old model military toys. It came with instructions. Thought I'd photograph some and share.

These are great documentation pictures with a little creative edge to them, but still just look like you were taking them for the memories. It would have been cooler if you could have put them in some sort of battle scene or something lol

Okay..how about we get a bunch of 100% crops with your lenses at their widest aperture at the lowest iso. Make sure they're well lit..like don't go out at midnight and take a picture of something at 3.5 at 100iso because we're definitely not going to see any details LOL.

I'll post some.

Honestly don't recall all my adjustments. Was just playing with it.

Maybe when spring time comes around I'll do a battle scene outside. Would look lame on my carpet.

i clicked on the link and i looked true all of them .. i just forgot to give some feed back. pictures are very very nice , maybe the dept of field could of been a tiny bit thicker ? to include the whole toys in the focus? some of them are all in focus but some r only half in focus. other than that u made a good photoshoot !! sorry i forgot to comment heh

I just edited this for s**** and giggles. It was a test shot before I started the actual shoot.

Its either dust on the sensor or its dust inside the actual lens.

I actually have dust in my lens so its pretty much impossible to get away from that.

Some camera shops offer a image sensor cleaning service. I got mine done for $35 and it took 4 days. I highly discourage you from trying to do it yourself!!

it's dust on the sensor. It would take a pretty large object on the lens to show up on the image. You can crack the outer lens element and not have the crack show up in the image, so literally the dust spot would have to be about the size of a rabbit turd to show up.

Well I got my sensor cleaned and the spots were still there, so I guess the dust is in the rear elements of the lens. They are only noticeable in very bright conditions or long day exposures.

Obviously I need to get it done again.

What about your focusing screen right under the viewfinder?

 

[judman13]

That wouldn't show up in the picture, just the viewfinder right?

The dust probably just got pushed around (poor cleaning job).

The way to test if it's on the sensor is to take a photo at f4.0, then 8.0, then 11, then 18, etc. If the spot doesn't show at larger apertures, then it's on the sensor.

When I clean my sensor it can take 3-4 times before it's completely clean. My first pass is with a brush, then I use a liquid solution with a pec pad 2-3 more times. Usually what happens is the last few specs get pushed around but they eventually get removed.

yeah I rarely get it on the first time as well

I usually just take the lens off and shoot at f22 into the sky then pixel peep on the screen and you can if its clean or not quickly

Oops..I'm a dumbass

Recommend a sensor cleaning kit?
