A guy I work with has basically given me his f/1.4d. I put my first round through it in the afternoon on Saturday.

Comments on how to improve any part of my photography are welcomes. As always rip apart the little mistakes so I don't repeat them.

Thanks,

sharp and with beautifully creamy bokeh. nice work.

#1 is ho hum - can't really put my finger on why. #2 - Great - I love shots like this lots of nice crisp lines & good colour. #3 is also good. It's a really neat lens - you have a good mate.

#1 needs the point of focus ranged left or right or cropped to a vertical...... then it should have more interest

Nice one Wade

1st image - not very interesting, I'd suggest next time with a plain and boring subject such as a sticker on a pole, try working from an angle or compose the pole to the side and have a nice blurred background behind it to create the DOF.

2nd image - Mmmm patterns

3rd image - Don't you love the low fstop

I wasn't too sure on #1 either. I like taking photos of such things, but struggle to frame them well. Thanks for the tips PS & bp!

I love f/1.4 already I'm going to go for a shoot in the city if it doesn't rain all week. It's such a small setup.

To get his lens, I let him borrow my D70 for 2 weeks a few months ago...

(Thanks for the general comments on the other photos too )
