dollar bill

[treed]

What up guy's?! Well here's my first example of what the nikon 4t lens can achieve. I just have to say it's freakin incredible how much detail you can get with this.
Shutter Speed: 2 sec
F-Stop: f/5.6
ISO: 80
Metering Mode: Spot
White Balance: Manual






and 100% crop...

Wow, is my image really that bad to get no replies? Damn, and this isn't the first time this has happened either.

I think it is a cool shot, I just had nothing to say.

It says we can make all the fake nickles and dimes we want. So... I'm going to go make lots of nickels, and then buy a car. I'll come by and pick you guys up in my 'stang.

Yea, it's pretty bad but that doesn't mean it shouldn't get a reply. The shallow dof puts most of the image oof at the angle from which it was taken. You need to get the camera lens 90 degrees to the bill; right up on top of it, not off to the side. That way the whole frame from edge to edge will be in focus and it will be a much more pleasing shot. You might also back off on zoom a little so that GW's face is complete.

Damn, that's retarded. A dollar bill has a lot of detail on it so that's why I used it. But seriously man, they're a wee bit strict there.

Yeah I guess afterall it's a terrible picture, but thanks mr. critical.

Thought the pics were good. As for the restrictions...how bloody ridiculous. Our latest is that we aren't allowed to photograph children on the beach or at the swimming pool. I can understand it as there are indeed a lot of wierdies about with mobile phone cameras but the restrictiuons include your own kids. I'd love to take a photo of the local beach when the water is blue, the water sports are on but darn it there are some children swimming!

Hi ya Treed

I bet ya wished you kept quiet now ha ha ha but you did ask for a reply ha ha ha

Why don't you crop it so you can just see whats in focus you can have it widescreen then just a thought.

keep posting your pics treed is nice to see other people trying out different lenses

I've got the FZ20 with mcon 35 and the mcon 40 and havent posted any pics cuz none have been that great and believe me the subjects of my pics arnt anywhere as good as the subject of your photo.

for example a closeup of the air vent im my van Exciting stuff. ha ha ha

But it looks like the Nikon 4t done a good job.
