Wa, nice portrait, g.chiam!

:think:

I like this one...not a Cat person but the colours and bokeh is excellent.
Hope to be able to take animal shots like this...:thumbsup:

Thanks. Like human portraits, focus at the eye, though I sometimes may misfocus cos the cats keep moving.

Very nice :thumbsup: And a beautiful girl too

Very nice :thumbsup: And a beautiful girl too

Thanks. She likes to do all kinds of funny pose in front of camera . I think that was the most natural pose from her.

 

[airconvent]

Very nice And a beautiful girl too

yes...have to agree...the shot is very nice and sharp, exactly like the ones Feng Wei is always showing...I am truly impressed on the lighting and sharpness.
Still trying to get strike the sweet spot in lighting and settings...:thumbsup:
but of course, its always great if the "model" cooperates instead of running around! ;p

Got this Tamron 500/8 SP Mirror lens on impulse 'cause I never had a mirror lens before. Well, turned out the lens is much smaller and lighter than I expected. It is very well built with smooth focusing, and a minimum focal distance of 1.7m (1:3 macro)!

This morning before I head out for my daily jogging, I saw the moon was quite nice (but very small ). I took out the K10D and the mirror lens to take some moon shots. Here is one of them, handheld at 1/250s, ISO800, RAW convertered:

The 100% crop of the moon (with minimum process but no USM):

A bit noisy, but looks quite nice for a handheld shot at 500mm I'd say

Another one by the Tamron 500/8 mirror lens taken this morning:

It's a very good lens for shooting birds when the light condition is okay I think. Here is one taken at 1/160s, ISO200, slightly cropped:

That is a nice moon shot, can see the cratered surface clearly also. Thanks for sharing. I always wanted to try a moon shot with a 300mm and 2xTC but so far had not done so.

Btw i see you caught the BBB virus again.:bsmilie:

Looks ok to me for a mirror lens and smooth bokeh.

 

[fengwei]

Thanks Desmond Actually I bought the lens for trying out. Don't think I'd keep it long anyway

The lens focuses really close: 1.7m for a 500m lens! Well, good enough to shoot butterflies

Here is a full crop one, resized from RAW:

And this is a slightly cropped one:

Speed are abit slow. But I'm sure the results would be better w/ a better light condition.

fengwei,
the lizard shot's bokeh on the tree looks like barnacles! :bsmilie:

Well, I guess most mirror lenses have those donut like bokeh :think:
