Self Portrait

I acquired Adobe Lightroom so I've been messing around with RAW shooting and I can tell I've got a lot to learn in that arena!  The editability is hugely increased when shooting in RAW.

Anyway, here's a quicky self-portrait.  I'm quite shy so this is probably all you're going to get out of me!

EXIF data of the exposure:
Focal Length: 47 mm
F/5.6
1/13 sec.

R.I.P.

Wandering my favorite car dealership I spotted the most pathetic Porsche I have ever seen.  No hood, flat tire; a wreck.  Its situation did allow me to get some unique engine shots though.  I'm normally not a fan of selective color, but I think it works here.

EXIF data of the "correct" exposure:
Focal Length: 29 mm
F/8
1/160 sec.

New lens!

My 50mm f1.8 "nifty-fifty" came in today so naturally I went out shooting.  Here's two pictures.  Out of maybe 100 I have half a dozen worth keeping.  I'm very impressed with the sharpness of the 50mm, it definitely lived up to my expectations.  As always, EXIF data is included.

This is NOT an HDR!!  (for once)
EXIF data:
Focal Length: 50 mm
F/3.5
1/80 sec.
