Probably one of my favorite focal lengths on a 35mm format. However I will be sticking to my Canon 35 1.4 for now.

I used to be more a strobist but i have moved into the Alien bee stuff and I have to tell you the modifiers and the modeling light capabilities are the real game changers for learning studio photography as you get to see how the light falls on your subject – a MUST have!

I never knew about this particular facebook terms of service for posting images but then again, I don’t upload my meaningful photos to social network sites for fear of someone stealing my images without recognition and royalties. This is a good post and I’m glad to have read this!

DIY Macro Table: This was actually the impetus for the post you’re reading right now, as I’d gone into a local camera shop and found a really nice macro table for “only” $400-odd dollars. Looking at the construction — a lot of aluminum tubing, a handful of plastic joints, a sheet of plexiglass, and some strategically placed metal bits to hold everything together — it occurred to me that this is the kind of thing someone could probably knock together in a workshop. I’ve come across several options online, but I rather like this one because it uses materials that are a bit more readily available and easy to work with, even if you’re all thumbs like me. Besides, how can you not like a photographer who calls himself Grumpy John? http://www.grumpyjohns.com/index.php/2010/diy_studio_light_table_for_productmacro_photography/ [...]

This photo “Columns pop up in the oddest places” reminds me of a painting I’ve seen, but Ican’t remember which painting. Really nice shot. I’m too a Pentax K-5 shooter. I defected from Nikon camp. My old SLR was a Nikon N70.
