When stopping down, easier to nail focus, but more difficult to arrange elements in context, w/ a proper composition. My inspiration, Alex Webb Welcome, dear visitor!

Bokeh is merely a crutch, composition is the key. This is the rule number One. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the trailer of the new Hollywood Zack Snyder movie. I read that for many shots, the most used lens was an old Canon 50/0.95. Nowadays, it's all about the epic, to shock, and 0.95 😆 Influencer mood ...Watch the trailer and you will understand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted May 29, 2021 Share #65 Posted May 29, 2021 14 minutes ago, Steven said: By admitting point 4, you are also saying that you can understand why lenses (gear) can inspire people, I suppose. Understanding how a tool works or responds to varying circumstances is different than being inspired by it. Gear tests are among the most boring, albeit educational, aspects of photography for me. I’m happy when I’m well beyond that stage... back to the pictures and letting the gear get out of the way. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someday you will understand that the tele lens is only good for " football" Thank you.

evikne Posted May 29, 2021 Share #68 Posted May 29, 2021 A wild lion looks much more interesting when photographed with a wide angle lens. It may be your last shot though. 😬😄 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the hope and good vibes 🤣 You made my day! 🙏 If you want to get one of the most inspiring book out there, I HIGHLY recommend The Suffering of Light (of course by Alex Webb). My photography has changed because of that book. 57 minutes ago, capo di tutti capi said: with a 135mm lens chances are also not much I don't think so. After a shot with a 135mm, maybe you have enough time to switch to the 21 SEM and take the last majestic shot at f/8...
