Ah thanks for the help but I always use that, I meant if there was some workaround to keep that level of saturation in the orange without losing contrast or exposure, which is when it'll always blow out.

No need to get it cleaned, use the dust remover thing that is built into the
D700... then take like a rocket blower hold the camera upside down and just blow it off. I've been doing it for... months now and its been taking off almost all the dust.

i picked up a set of sensor swabs a while back and use them when the blower doesn;t work. they work great, and after you do it once or twice your not as nervous as the first time. but def try the blower first, oh and also you should lock your mirror in the up position so you actually are blowing on the sensor and not your mirror.

That really works? I just clean my sensor with my wipes. I don't know why so many people are afraid to wipe the sensor, it's delicate, but not THAT delicate.

Messed around with some studio lighting with a friend today.

Oh, yeah. The light sources are visible, too.

I was just messing around, I wasn't paying attention to the actual placement of myself or the lights, unfortunately. I liked the perspective, though, so I figured I'd post it up.

Here's another from earlier.

One from the Italian markets.

Chris_PA · 09-01-2009, 05:26 PM

I need a decent 50mm

sisforsurfing · 09-01-2009, 06:22 PM

I'm sure that isn't ideal on the 5D2 but it doesn't look bad man. I do like the 135 shot more but that's just in general.
And if you don't feel like dropping the coin on the L the Sigma 50/1.4 is pretty sweet, I'd have one if I wasn't saving for a nice 85.

I'm going back and forth between the 50L and 45TS

sisforsurfing · 09-01-2009, 07:44 PM

Balllinnnn. I wouldn't mind having the burden of making that decision, haha

Annoyed because I botched the vignetting correction, but moreso because this lens vignettes on the wide end at f11. f11. Going back to Sigma.
