M3 Photo Shesh

Damn M3's are awesome

More 5D Video

This one actually took some time and effort, and I was filming much more interesting stuff than usual.

Another 5D MarkII video

I've been consistently annoying Ashcon to let me shoot video with his 5D, and here is some of the crap I came up with.

Cheap Macro

I fairly recently got an m42 mount 28mm f/2.8 lens, which isn't very much fun on its own due to the fact that it's manual focus and not terribly sharp wide open. Having been an idiot with my money, I also bought a set of m42 extension tubes, which I forgot about until a few days ago. I had tried them on my 135mm f/2.8 weeks before, but that lens performed quite poorly with them. Putting the tubes on the 28mm lens made it hugely more fun, and since macro is usually done at f/8 and above, the wide open sharpness doesn't matter. Check out the slideshow for some of the results (the indoor ones were with flash)

blacks & whites

Some B/W pictures from Santa Cruz and Seattle, and places in between. Also a fairly lazily blurred version of a photo I've already posted.

5D MarkII Video

I took lots of video with Ashcon's new 5D yesterday, here is the result. Much of this was filmed with an M42 mount Lenmar 135mm f/2.8, which gives manual aperture and focus control.

50mm Lenses

I love fast primes. I didn't know how much until I actually bought one, only having tried a 50mm f/1.4 for a short time at my friend's house. I now have an f/1.8 version, and I'm enjoying it very much, though the f/1.4 version is far superior. Below are some of my pictures with it since I got it last Sunday.
