I like the texture! What is it?

einsatz

The texture? It's just dirt and muck. The photo is of the ceiling of a Metro station here in the DC area.

Wow Never would have guessed! Cool shot.

nice pic einsatz looks like something out of Aliens or some sci-fi movie.. like Giger or something..

einsatz

Thanks - your shot is interesting srika... I've seen plenty of shots from the top down... never from the bottom up.

jupitersolo

Sweet, DCist!. Figures the day I don't read it. Looks like something from BSG.

srika

borrowed a friend's Tokina 11-16 last night - can you tell the difference?

Anyone who wants to know how that lens works, just needs to see this image.

MWalsh9152

exif shows that it was taken with a 10-24 @17mm

srika

so did you think it was the 11-16? :d

jupitersolo

That's what you posted it as??????????????

srika

well, it was kind of a 'placebo effect' test.. did you think it was the Tokina? or could you tell it was the (inferior) Tamron.

jupitersolo

Correct exposure with just about any lens gives you a good image. Some give you CA and lens distortion up the ass, without them, doesn't matter what the lens is.

srika

but lots of reviews said the Tamron isn't sharp. this is (I think clearly) not the case -

A good copy is a good copy.

srika

well hmm I wonder if I should keep it.

einsatz I figured out what your shot really reminds me of, the decepticon logo.

I really like the window washer pic... looks like they are falling off the building... neat effect with the angle... did you shoot it that way or crop it?

srika

hey - they are not window washers - those are "boxes" that extend from the Skydeck on the 103rd floor of the Willis (Sears) Tower. And, you can walk out onto them and look straight down. It was pretty crazy feeling! A bit scary, I mean, I kind of had some trouble doing it! So this is 1,400 feet high, I shot it from the 43rd floor of a building a block to the north (where I work) with the 200 2.8 + 1.4x - I shot it at this angle, glad you liked it. It is cropped slightly from the bottom right.

srika

here's a shot from the ledge - and why I was frustrated with the 10-24 - I don't think I got one good shot - I wonder if its because I was nervous to be standing there...

jupitersolo

It does have a 1/30 shutter speed

srika

I wasn't even looking at what settings I had... lol. I was pretty freaked out!

jupitersolo

I'd have a hard time with it as well. It would put my brain into a bit of a spin.

srika

This shot is gonna be featured on the CBS2 Chicago news tonight at 10pm. They just put it up on the screen and say a few words about it etc. I will most likely have a youtube of it.
