My ugly mug. off camera flash and 16-50

My ugly mug. off camera flash and 16-50 · 08:07 PM

I am renting the DA16-50 and have been playing with off camera flash set up's. That DA is very, very nice. It is a rental and I think pretty sharp. Anyway, here are a couple of my mug this evening. I am the only willing model in the house. To lazy to get out the tripod so they are hand held at arms length. A smidge of cropping and smidge of sharpening (really a smidge)

Comments welcomed. Be nice about the model

Cactus V2s 540 flash behind left into an umbrella,Sigma 500 on floor right no umbrella.

bigger versions can be found here Flickr: vievetrick's Photostream if you want to see how sharp they look.

Yep you look like a SOX fan to me....16-50 is a nice lens..

Nice one mate

this is my favourite lens... if you get a good copy its a gem.

Covers the range that I shoot mostly in and it hardly comes of the camera... usually only for the DA 50-135

Are you now planning on getting one?

It is lovely to meet you Pat, great self portraits

It really does look like a great lens. I am considering this lens for my first new lens purchase, I am just worried about all of the bad copies out there, it's all too scary.

Pat, the second one has excellent lighting.

I bit the bullet and took the chance... even purchased from the states which now is not looking so viable with the way the Aussie Dollar has been.

It really is a great lens

LOLOL you guys are funny. I knew I could get some sillyness when posting shots of myself. Thanks all.

Nulla - Lucky you owning this gem- it the bank account allows I may get it

JC - thanks, I have a bunch of tinkering to to to get it just right. I like the second much more as well. I really enjoy learning this new phase and with winter around the corner I think it will be more fun as time goes on.

Mel - I would get it if I had the cash. The first new lens I bought was it's little brother the 16-45 and still use it 75% of the time

Charlie - LOLOL a sad Sox fan for now. We can't win them all

Damn Brit - I may be able to convince the wife we need this if it makes me look good

Jimbo - it is what they say for sure.

Nicely done. The second one appears to have the better lighting. In the first one, there is a lot of light right at the right eye level. If you were just a "tad" better looking, you could be a Yankee fan like me.

BTW, I'm pulling for the Rays.
