Damn shame. According to Big Bob's angle of view calculator, they should be 46.8: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/technical/field_of_view.html I strongly suggest you dump all the sub-standard gear, get a 5D II along with a 50mm 1.4 Canon lens and then you can enter the "competition." Heh, heh... OK, how about 46.8 degrees plus or minus 5 degrees? > >>Fire at will... > >If you insist, but can't we choose a more interesting subject than >hoary old legal documents? > >http://wemightneedthat.biz/Images/wont.jpg (not an entry)

I didn't submit for games because I guess I'm not a very fun guy <g>, I just couldn't think of anything. I did think of shooting the sketchy looking chess players downtown who play for money on the sidewalk but didn't really feel like getting in their faces and didn't make it downtown during the month. They don't play for fun anyways... very serious. Anyways I didn't submit but I didn't complain either. I'm tempted to cheat this mandate by using a 50mm reversed on bellows for a macro shot <g> but I won't. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam

I had prime lenses when I was shooting film, but all I have now are zoom lenses including an 18/55. Does that mean I shoot at 50? Does it mean no cropping? Just resizing? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

I'm not going to participate, because I probably won't shoot much the next couple of weeks. But I did shoot at a fair last August, and for that I only brought my Sigma 30mm F/1.4 (because of the neutral perspective and the large aperture). BTW, number 4 and 5 are deliberately out of focus. :-) http://www.arumes.com/temp/kermis2009/ -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com |
