syphlix · Jan 3, 2011

It's been a long time since i've taken a photo I liked... here's a cpl from the blizzard aftermath that I actually enjoy a bit... these are candids taken in the union square area of NYC... all with canon 7d + 50mm/1.4... clicking them takes you to flickr i think...

comments always welcome!

I love the last one as well! Just out of curiosity is it cropped?

Love #3, but I think the focus was missed

Lady on the left's jacket is money focus though lol

Excuse my ignorance, but what does "money focus" mean?

It's slang for perfect focus! You know "spot on" "money shot"

Maybe Im off but I think in #3 shes checking your junk out. I'm just sayin.

i like #3 but i also liked #2 but its way too centred for my taste

syphlix · Jan 4, 2011

i agree with the missed focus on #3 which is a pity since i really like that one... i do think it's slight though and i think it's not enough for me not to like it...

i should probably soften the two ladies in red so the whole thing just looks like it's "soft focus"

i really do have problems getting consistent focus on these a lot of the times... the DOF is so thin and i just seem to be off by a hair a lot!... frustrating to say the least...
