Which?

 

35mm f1.8

It's nothing crazy. I love my 50mm, but wanted something a little more useful as the focal length of the 50 is a bit limiting in most of the situations I'm in. The 35 should be here Wednesday

 

Awesome pics!

Hot......

 

Man you should shoot all the time. Those photos are really excellent in every way. I love how you shot through the weeds for that foreground bokeh and the sunflare in that one.

 

 

Yes yes, drive up here and the best date/weekend is October 18th
People com from allover the states to see Kancamagus Highway
It's the time where tree leaves get weird

And October 18 at 10AM, BRZ/FRS people drives up there
Route 112, Conway, NH
Come here and put that camera into use dammit I thought my pictures were good.

Something has changed.
Either you slowed down or I am moving faster
6 months 15k miles here

But seriously, amazing shots

 

Much appreciated sir.

My mileage has slowed down tremendously. My commute is now 23 miles each way, and I've been alternating cars since March. I think I've only got around 9k miles on the FRS so far this year.

I wouldn't mind heading up to NH, but I can't swing the time off that soon. I'm taking another 10 days off between now and the end of the year, and really can't take any more time. I do need to put the camera to use though.

This weekend I plan on hitting up C&C Saturday morning, then coming back home to clean up the garage so I can actually park the FRS in it. Its killing me that I've got to park it outside with all the "normal" cars. She's better then that.

 

Maybe they sell tire shine in NH?

Do you still drive for work, or has that stopped?

 

I totally understand. I saved all of my vacations for thanksgiving and christmas.
9 days for thanksgiving
7 days for christmas

May be I'll drive down there.
I'll keep you updated if there is a big meAt during winter around here.

Same here with the garage, somehow I have to open up a space for BRZ.

Aman why didn't I get that joke?
I love you man hahaha

 

Driving all over the place for work stopped. I've got a comfy desk job that I can do either at the data center or from my couch.

 

Finally you can relax a little. You deserve that.

 

If you're going NH, might as well go get some sick a$$ shots at Acadia State Park in Maine...in the Fall...

Funny you mention that, Morgan. With the Canon I had a 50...but found myself annoyed at having to stand 40 feet away to shoot my car (which is usually the subject). I solved that by switching to 35 prime when I swapped to Nikon and I love it.

 

^Good Advice on Acadia! You been?

I've been many, many, many times growin up. Beautiful Place and surrounding area!

 

Nice! Unfortunately, there was a delay on the shippers side, so the lens won't be here until tomorrow.

I can't wait for it to get here though.

 

Hey, anticipation is half the excitement!

I have been, with my Mom on a Mother/Son trip in 2007. Such a fkng romantic place to go with...YOUR MOTHER. Was a great time and had some bonding experiences but definitely wished my wife had been there. haha...stayed in BAHHH HABBBAHHHH

 

^lol! Lobstah DINNAH!


I took my fiancé up two years ago (summertime). She Loved it as well!

Sorry for OT Morgan! Like the most recent Pics!

 

Thanks, and this convo is not off topic - when you're in my thread, just remember that anything relating to the cars in the title is considered off topic

My grandmother is from Rhode Island, and she's been living in NY since the late 40s/early 50s. She still doesn't have an 'R' in her alphabet

 

Sooo...gonna hit up Maine then?

 

My friends has actually been bugging me to go with them to Vermont this winter. If I do, it won't be until after the new year, I'm taking too much time off as it is.

 

^Maine is "Vacationland"! And if anyone hasn't been, you need to. Especially Summertime.



I was born/raised there. Go back every other year, parents still have a camp (house) on a lake.

 

for some reason i couldn't stop laughing at this.

 

 

even if they DID sell it, Morgan wouldn't use it.

Morgan, you made me laugh at your favoriting the picture of the sh*tter on my flickr.

 

 

Well I got to play with the 35mm today. I'm not happy with most of the pics I took, but that's mainly because I didn't have the f stop set properly. I love the clarity - at least when what I intended to focus on is in focus I need to play around with this lens a bit more. But here's a few samples:

No shots of my cars; I haven't had the motivation to wash either of them.

 

^Nice! Any more of that BMW?






just saw them in the "exotic's" thread!

 

Love the shallow DOF, were those fully open? f/1.4?
I was about to ask the same thing about that BMW! To that thread I go...

 

f1.8 for all but the rear i8 and the left side of the Indian, which were f3.5.

 

Stunning shots, Morgan! Prime lens ftw.

 

We need some shots of the wagon and FRS with this new lens.

 

I planned on going out this weekend but couldn't motivate myself. Hopefully I'll get out next weekend. First on my list is organizing the garage so I can get the FRS in there before winter hits.

 

Enjoyed the pics

Will you be storing the FR-S this winter?

 

Yes. The car has been garaged all its life, aside from the past three months. It kills me to leave it in the parking lot.

 

Daily driven racekar.

 

Love those shots, Morgan.

 

I'm happy with them! Great shots, man.

 

hai

Is he still smuggling crack in the butt?
