MattTrain Posted July 13, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2012 I like those shots, especially the last one and the M2 on the MCI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted July 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2012 Nice shots! I like the one of the old and new C40's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted July 13, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 13, 2012 Incredible shots. What's the lens, not an 18-200 is it? Last one is absolutely fantastic, that MCI M2 codebreak is a great one, and the rest are phenomenal. Nice catch of 9632 with its new stripe as well, that was pretty recent. 945 and 406 are a great comparison, nice together. Is the BusTime fleet 320-339 or something like that?

R62A 1651 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted July 15, 2012 That sony prime lens looks CLEAN! the word is not clean, I describe the lens as a funky lens because when it focuses on the subject, it completely blurs everything out and it creates very unique pictures it's unbelieveable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lens has a excellent depth of field and therefore can create photos that stand out like that. I have the exact same lens for Canon.. if you can figure out how to work it right, you will get some amazing shots from it. If you don't like the effect, you can always adjust the aperture to a high number such as 8.0 or above, but remember that will slow down your shutter speed.

error46146 Posted July 27, 2012 Share #14 Posted July 27, 2012 That was what I was originally thinkin when I got this lens too, f/1.8 would be great for underground or night shots... that was kinda iffy for me, since the AF on the canon is terrible and I have to use MF with that lens. Yea thats a major issue with the lens you have to step all the way back to grab a shot, but I've kinda gotten used to it.. Just stand about 2-4 parked cars away from the bus and you should be able to get the whole bus with no problems. The 18-55 isnt that bad for shooting at night, just drop the f stop all the way down to 3.5 and ISO 800 should be fine. If your lens has a stabilizer you should be able to hand-hold up to 1/3 sec. I don't go exactly by the camera's meter; they usually tend to overexpose the shots. I find myself using my 50mm prime mostly for daytime outside shots now, since again as you pointed out the effect is very unique. once you get used to this lens it WILL deliver some really nice photos.
