Thank you come again
why are pentax fags always the biggest gear fags yet are the ones that give people shit for being a gear fag? Is it the underdog mentality?
>>2859225
I don't know where your delusions come from but the Pentax guys are nothing compared to the Sony fags
can someone explain what the different distances for focus are meant to do for fish eyes?
if i use infinite, it generally does what i need it to, but the shorter distances dont work for how im using it.
what are they supposed to be used for?
They're a meme
>>2858914
i dont believe you
I only use the slider forwards if a foreground object happens to be just a little too close. Maybe if I'm Indoors, but I'm using the 15mm.

How do I take HDR photos with a Canon 5D Mark 2?
No matter what camera you have. HDR is the same process, and you need a software to do it right. Some cameras have been built with HDR rendering, but results are sucks in comparison with what can be done with good software.

I almost never show my photos to anybody so I'm not sure how bad (or good) I really am; what should I change or whatever.
I guess, it's time.
So I'm looking to expand my collection of art similar what I'll be uploading, and these seemed like the best place to do it. I'll offer up a small dump and then we can discuss etc.
What do you think about it?
I have a lot of good photos.

you probably shot it at f/4 or lower and it blurred out the horse. It would have been much nicer if both subjects were in focus.

Dude that is not a great picture. Setting aside composition (since you're talking about gear), the picture is super soft and doesn't even seem to be focused correctly. There are a thousand better pictures from that same exact spot in antelope canyon.
Can you explain to me why you think that picture is "hella good"? Serious question.
Show me your light trails and stuff.

Why isn't Sony anywhere near as popular as Nikon or Canon when it comes to non point and shoot cameras?
I've never seen anything bad about them. Got a free Nikon D70 and spent nothing but $15 for a charger. When I scrounge up enough money to buy something better I plan on going with a Sony, possibly a mirror less

I like this one, looks like a good painting
In the others however, the ducks are quite centered, giving these a kind-of snapshot (bad) look. Off center, more level photos would have made these much better.
I DO however like your use of framing the photos with leaves, but in the first two they are a little bright, which takes the eye away from the subject(s).
I went hiking near Edinburgh, Scotland a couple of days ago. I'm looking to get better at shooting nature. These are the photos I took, any comments / criticism would be welcome.

Did I fuck up /p/ I just bought the Canon EF 50mm F1.8 II for 70$ Its the older version, the only thing I've seen wrong with it is the five bladed aperture.

It doesn't matter if you flushed it down the toilet. You can't "fuck up" with $70. Just go take photos.
No
You'll be fine
>>2860096
Not him, but why are Canon 50mm lenses so expensive after being produced since the 1980's and being the most commonly bought lens along with being the kit lens of Canon bundles for years?
