Hi Everyone!

This month's challenge - 50mm prime! The contest will end 11/18/2012. As always, the photo must be taken during this challenge period.

James

I dont own any primes. All zooms. OK to photograph at 50MM?

Roman

LOL - FINE. 50mm. Does not matter if it is prime.

James

PS Roman - you don't have one prime lens? I am somehow really surprised by that.

You're not the only one!

Light kit and versatile. High quality zooms give me prime like sharpness and universal options for composition. As of next week will be 14-24, 16-35, 24-70 and 70-200. Most are as high a quality or darned close as any prime. Landscape is often about DOF so F/2.8 on all the lenses is perfect.

Should also have my D800 soon as well, hopefully by end of the month.

Hey Everyone,

I was asked to please clarify the rules:

1. The photo must be taken at 50mm.
2. It must follow a Nature/Wildlife/Pet Photography theme
3. It must be taken during the 30 days that the challenge was created
4. It must be posted by November 19th 2012 at 11:59 PM (LOL, we can take into account your time zone).


That's about it - I think. Usually people ask better questions to things I overly simplify.

James

the 14-24 is a stellar lens. I've been shooting mine for about two years now and i have two complaints, no way to screw in a filter, there are some options, but they are $$$, and lens flare is horrible! if you get the sun to strike the bulbed front element at an angle, you'll pay for it .. . I kept my 17-35 for when i need to shoot into the light . . .

Hey Tony!

Good to hear from you.

Jim

Thanks Jim, and I hope to have a little more presents here in the future, been awhile so I hope to keep it up. It's great to see some of the early NWP guys still around!
