Images with new 50mm F1.4

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Images with new 50mm F1.4

Purchased a Canon 50mm F1.4 to use as a travel lens. The thing is quite sensational IMHO. Here's a few snaps as I tested it out last week, (mostly in fading light) on the north coast of NSW. I don't think you can't beat a prime for image quality and bokeh.

Love the 2nd and how you are almost at the level of water surface. How did you shoot it?

I held the camera at wAter level and hoped for the best! A right angle viewer would have been handy!

Fabulous shots Ozzie. 1 & 2 really dispel the notion that you need a wide range zoom to get the best take on opportunities.
I've got one (50mm 1.4) in the kit, but haven't used it yet, still trying to wrap my head around everything on the body!?!

don't you just love the 1.4? :D It's the lens that's attached to my camera most of the time now, starting to use the 24-70 less and less :)

True, it's on my camera most of the time now, it's small, nicely made, and VERY sharp above F2.

Great pics Oz, especially the second. I agree it's a great lens - especially in low light.

You need to update your sig :mrgreen:
