Sorry, I couldn't help myself - after seeing picture number 3, I immediately thought of this:

Yea thats pretty cool man. I could have made it smile even more. If I pulled the bottom, the fisheye would have accentuated the smile WAY more, maybe I should take a few more shots.

You need to get that car out somewhere away from everything and take some serious shots

.

shortpballer · 08-10-2009, 11:32 AM

I was out at the fair, playing with my new lens and I took these on the way back to my car. I've posted some better pics about a year ago. But I will definately take my car somewhere and take some real pics.

Sorry they aren't car related but here are some of the other pics I took...

Here are some of the girlfriend:

Girlfriend FTW!

But back to the novelty that is fisheye lenses. Look at fisheyed images is only cool for soo long, IMHO, and is probably why I'll never buy one. :P

more pictures of the girlfreind, she is cute.

VisualEchos · 08-10-2009, 06:00 PM

50mm ƒ1.8, nice choice. Best lens in the industry for the money, really.

shortpballer · 08-10-2009, 08:26 PM

I was using a 50mm 1.8 for only one of those pictures. The car pics were a tokina 10-17 fisheye, and the rest of them were a 12-24 tokina super wide angle.

VisualEchos · 08-10-2009, 10:13 PM

I know, I read the exif. I like the 50mm shot.

shortpballer · 08-10-2009, 10:43 PM

yea i just started doing photography about a week and a half ago...how do I read what the pictures are shot with. I've noticed people do that on the photography forums and stuff. I've tried right clicking and figuring it out but I couldn't figure it out. If you could tell me what to do that would be great.

Right on, I recently bought a Tokina 12-24 mm, I really like it ! A fun lens to do some creative things with and great for car shows.
