I knew compression existed but this was perfect.

you can read and read and read stuff, but nothing ever really shows you the point untill it's physically demonstrated to you. burns it in your head!!!

sorry, guys, i don't get blown away by stuff often, but i'm a bit blown away.

The1 · 04-29-2011, 05:39 PM

lol, we need an RSS feed or whatever it is so we can just type back and forth instead of just filling a thread

yeah, I know. Once you see it side-by-side, it makes a ton of sense and you get an idea of how big of a difference it makes.

I know it's little late for our latest photo contest, but two weeks from now a relatively well-known food photog will do her thing that weekend.

Weebl · 04-29-2011, 05:47 PM

I'd like to see a portion of that. Now doing that is very artistic, looking better than it tastes.

was that a pun or a coincidence?

Weebl · 04-29-2011, 05:51 PM

LOL, coincidence.

Chewy734 · 04-29-2011, 06:03 PM

2/3rd behind and 1/3rds in front? didn't know that about DoF.

The1 · 04-29-2011, 06:05 PM

makes sense, was that your macro shot the other day of your beard shavings? the closer an object is, the narrower the DOF, so that would kinda work with perspective, stuff in row is closer so less DoF where further stuff gets the wider DoF

so that 1/3 to 2/3rds makes sense (at least that's how i've taken it in....)

Chewy734 · 04-29-2011, 06:08 PM

hehe, yeah... I just never thought of it that way.

The1 · 04-29-2011, 06:10 PM

interesting he brought up the 24-70 and how he only shoots it at 24 or 70mm

I never used the in between areas on my 24-70..... But i love the lens though. I just haven't really used it since i got my 16-35

Zack essentially stalks his subjects...

The1 · 04-29-2011, 06:22 PM

lol but he knows what they want

wonder how often he follows up on them

scollins · 04-29-2011, 06:30 PM
