The *Official Photography Thread*

So busy at work. Must take more pictures. Bought a 27" imac back in October finally got PS CS6 and LR5 running on it with all the VSCO film packs.

 

If you like film presets check out Mastin Labs stuff. Kirk Mastin just released his B&W pack. All are really good and I absolutely hate presets haha. His made me make an exception.

 

I'll check it out. Have you seen the VSCO packs? They essentially digitally remade 60+ rare and popular films including instant and slide film. They're sick.

 

Just Scored a 80's Gitzo from the local camera shop! Don't like center columns, but the price was right.

 

I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year! Nice panorama's 92shawman and stroM-. And thanks for that lightroom video a few pages back Ian408, I learned a few new things from it!

Got myself the Siggy 17-50 f/2.8 for Christmas, really enjoying it. I also got an IR filter for it but it hasn't been sunny enough for me to try it out, doesn't help I hardly know what I'm doing lol

For anyone who want's a Canon nifty fifty at an even lower price:

I was gonna post about that. Price is right. Quality is there for the price.

 

I was literally going to buy the canon lens tonight. Thanks for the link!

 

we went to very different parts of europe

 

Nice Ben. That black and white shot is very cool.

 

For a quick fix to throw in the bag it's a great price.

I'm glad that was good timing ha. An 80mm equivalent f/1.8 for $40 is pretty legit ha

 

Cody, bad ass pictures of Europe! Place looks amazing for snowboaring

At what price do you guys say just stick with the Canon? All the places I can find are around the $80 mark.

Did you buy one?

 

Figured I'd post a few of these in here, too.
