Sneak Peak: Indian Falls

Hey,

So I went to another waterfall today and got some decent photos of it as well as nice shots on the hike.  I was lucky because there has been a lot of rain here so there was a lot of water at the falls.  Sadly I did not have my tripod however that was okay because I just laid on some rocks and set my camera on a rocky ledge over the falls.

So this is a sneak peak of one of the photos, enjoy:

Lens Re-Review: AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8 IF ED

Lens Re-Review AF-S DX

Hey,

I remember saying this lens wasn't as sharp as I wanted it to be for portraits however I just did an event for a friend's surprise birthday party and it may have changed my mind.  The photos were very sharp when I was at f/4.  This was not a problem because I was using it with the Sb-900.  Still not my 50mm but the 17-55mm does the job well.

Thought I would toss that out there as well.  But be sure to read my full review.

Lens Re-Review: 50mm f/1.4 D

Lens Re-Review: 50mm f/1.4 D

So I just remembered something about this lens from my country shoot I did a while back that I forgot to blog about.

As I was going through the photos from the shoot I noticed a handful of them were a little soft.  It looked nice however nothing was really in focus which wasn't so great.  I found all the slightly fuzzy photos and noticed they all were taken at f/1.8.  So this is what I believe led to the soft photos and now I am avoiding using this lens at f/1.8 which is fine since I use it at f/1.4 or f/2.8 - f/4 range.  I noticed at f/2 it has also fine.  I have not shot a lot at f/1.6 however I do know f/1.8 was not sharp for some reason.

Do I like this lens any less?  Nope.  I have no problem not using it at f/1.8 and I still love this lens.  If you have not read my review of the 50mm f/1.4 D you should.

Thought you should know,

Tom
