Re: ***Official Ants Photography Thread***

I was in LA for work a couple weeks ago and decided to step out of my comfort zone a bit. Ended up shooting some body surfing down at The Wedge in Newport Beach with the 55-250mm STM. The one shot I'm really mad about is 1882. Had the center focus point on his eye, checking in post, the camera just couldn't keep up (70D) at 1/2500. Found myself shooting between 1/1250-3200 but the ISO was too high for my liking on some of the shots.

    Love all the non surfing/body board ones! Those are good too but the other shots really appeal to me.

    I took some firework shots at Disneyland w/o a tripod. A few came out pretty cool. Also liked this shot I took in downtown San Diego, just wish I had the full "One Way" sign in the frame.

    Hey, just rediscovering the Ants forum after so many years of traveling the world with the military and I stumbled across this. Not bad, I have really enjoyed everyone's photos.
    If you guys would like to see some of mine. Hopefully this flickr link will work.

    lens question for everyone here.

    I used the canon ef 50mm f/1.4 while in Africa as a rental from a friend, and was really too soft for my liking at f/1.4. I need a prime for my 70D, but know a f/1.4 replacement is in the works. 50mm is pretty tight on the crop equivalent anyways.

    does anyone have experience with the ef 35mm f/2 IS USM? It's a better focal length for crop bodies and I'm not sure how much I'd be shooting at f/1.4-1.8 to justify the cheaper 50mm f/1.8.

    my other lenses for reference: 15-85mm is usm f/3.5-5.6, 55-250mm stm f/4-5.6.

    I really wanted to upgrade to an L f/2.8 zoom, but cant justify the price tag just yet in life/shooting ability.

    Re: ***Official Ants Photography Thread***

    In general, the f/1.8 lenses are a way better buy than the f/1.4 lenses unless you just absolutely love the look at f/1.4. The f/1.8 lenses are generally quite sharp and cheaper too. Nikon (I know you're shooting Canon) has been releasing all of their primes in new f/1.8 versions and they have all been superb according to reviews.

    Have you considered the Sigma "art" f/1.4 lenses? Those are supposed to be great even compared to their more expensive Nikon and Canon equivalents.

    35mm is better on crop sensor, although I love 35mm on full frame, so I like the wider focal length in general.

    i was watching/reading a lot of reviews on the sigma 35mm f/1.4 and it had a ton of aberations from f/1.4-4 in the center frame to outer edges, which looks a lot like motion blur. not ideal, if ya ask me, especially at the price point.

    the 35mm f/2 (or f/1.4 from Sigma) vs 50 f/1.8 is still +$400. steep price for a ~50mm equivalent on crops.

    Did you guys hear about that "daredevil" NYC photographer who died while on top of a train, supposedly trying to take photos? He has some amazing photos on his instragram, I guess he was pretty well known.

    I want to start archiving my photography collection online just in case my hard drive crashes. I don't know where to begin. I used to use PBase a long time ago but I'm sure my stuff is gone from there. I don't know where to turn? What do you guys use, Google Drive, Flickr, Google Drive, Google Photos? I guess I want something two fold that I can use as a storage archive, and an archive that family can access if they want to see pics of my kids or vacation pics. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I guess I want something two fold that I can use as a storage archive, and an archive that family can access if they want to see pics of my kids or vacation pics. Any suggestions are appreciated.
    My answer will be lousy advice for someone that gets paid for their photography but I simply have two external hard dives that I rotate. I upload all the "junk" for family, friends and shares etc to Flickr because I've had an account there forever. I don't curate it all. It is literally a photo dump that I use for my family. My Lightroom catalogs, raws and dngs are backed up locally then replicated to my external hard drives.

    I bring HD1 home from work with me whenever I have a big photo dump to process as I don't usually shoot more than occasions and vacations. Once the newest files are backed up to HD1, it goes back to work and the process repeats over and over again with HD1 and HD2.

    I don't online back up at all really. Just use Flickr for sharing purposes and to keep them all in one place.
