Yes they were taken inside a church. And Thanks.

As for the grain, I tried to reduce it as much as I could with the Kodak GEM Pro filter without loosing the existing detail.

Gotta keep this thread going....

So it's tea time for me tonight...Ambiance Jasper & Orange, sprinkled with sugar and honey. Yummmmmm.

One main light with umbrella pointed 45º down.

okay...I've been meaning to post on here....

posted these in the self portrait thread as well....

ps...I'm Canon.....

OK I know I piped up very early in this thread but I just want to say that this has been one of the best thread in a long time. Why?? Because the images have been incredible. You guys have posted some terrific photos. These 50mm lenses are great. Nice going guys.

Why I don't have one I am having a lot of trouble figuring out.

Two more. ISO 1600, Nikon D70s

So I'm getting kinda bored at our Chamber function tonight (Installation dinner & grand opening of our new office) waiting for the next change in agenda and decided to snap a few in between official shots. (btw, had the most horrid lighting under this big tent we set up for dinner...sigh)

I looked around and saw this wine bottle sitting on a table (no, I do not drink...haven't for 20 years) and said, hey, photo op! Would be perfect for the 50mm thread. So here's another one.

Marcus, great shots!!! And, I see you're a fellow Mac user. (Or am I deceived by your keyboard?) Macs rule!

No Ray, you're right :D:D:D Macs rule....big time... and thanks about the pics!

Marc

I finally got my Canon 50mm 1.8 lens. Haven't had much of a chance to take many pictures with it yet, but here's one I liked.

Nice. The Black Lion was always my favorite :D

Took this tonight. Had to PS the background a little. Didn't get it perfect but still learning PS and wouldn't of had to use PS at all if I would of thought to shut the cabinet door. Good lesson learned though to look past the subject to see what’s lurking there. Alison if you’re listening. I am really starting to like this lens.

Took this at the mall along with a few others. It took some getting use to not being able to zoom.

Another one of my baby girl but this time I bounced my flash.
