The 15mm Limited controls my mind - club

SMcGuire45 · 08-05-2012, 11:26 PM

Still learning to shot with the 15mm Limited...but I really liked this shot from the other day. This is an old Silver and Gold Ore Crusher in Plumas County, California. Any comments or criticisms are always appreciated. Thanks!

Have to be honest here: i didn't read all the posts in this thread but did see quite a lot of very impressive views. So. Maybe you 15mm addicts can help me out: is this a lens that can be useful for portraiture as well? Any samples of that?
(Please do not laugh at me. I know that longer lenses are more common for portraiture. But I try to find "semi-commercial" reasons for buying this beauty!)

I haven't used this lens much lately but I did get in some starburst therapy today.

I need to say that is certainly one of the more unique captures I have seen with this lens.

I await more from you.

Deep Blue Sky with Fair Weather Cumulus Clouds and Sunburst. I've never owned a lens like this...

Does this work as a portrait? Needless to say, this is heavily cropped.

The girls promoting the movie Iron Sky, at Comic-Con 2012 in San Diego last month. I was trying for a shot of the whole line (maybe 20 of them) but they wound up all looking in different directions and I had to grab this fast. I was pretty close to these 2. I guess that's one of the benefits of using a 15 for portraits. You definitely get to interact with your models.

There is more Comic-Con stuff on my blog, much of it with the DA15.
