Nifty 50mm Challenge

[wtfranky22]

Hey forum,
I was messing around with my t3i that I got for xmas, I wanted to shoot a mirror shot..... but wait the 50mm is way to close of a zoom for a mirror portrait! :er:
so I challenge every one with a (Nifty fifty) 50mm to take this shot and see how it comes out! ill start it off with:



GOOD LUCK EVERYONE :]

Try it again and see if you can hold the camera still.

50mm is a prime not a zoom just sayin

@ysarex You see the battery pack on this thing? ahah its dead weight. try the shot with a 50mm and you will see what I mean. I had to extend my arm and act like I was viewing through the my eye piece.

Instead of zoom, you meant 'field of view', maybe.

But I'm not understanding why you couldn't hold the camera to your eye.

?

Also, a heavy camera is a benefit to aid in holding it steady. It's inertia.
Good breathing technique can help with hand held shots, by pressing the shutter button at the bottom of your exhale.

Mine is close enough:

EWWWWW it got all fuzzy when I converted to jpg!

I decided to play.

I tried a Jupiter-8 but the minimum focus was way too far:



A Minolta was better:

Ron, why are you giving us the finger with the Jupiter? THANKS buddy!
