shilin :pimp:

there's a stussy taipei, not sure if ya hit that up

that first pic on top of 101? tried to hit that up but just not enough time.

if you're ever there again hike up xiangshan for a great view of 101 and the city.

yeah man, definitely visited the stussy taipei chapter store. i know what you mean, never enough time to do everything! not enough hours in a day when traveling lol.


Did you shoot in RAW? If not, then it's not worth it. Even then, you can't ad detail to an image if it's not even there. Embrace the grain, homie!!

thanks mj. yeah i'm shooting raw, and may just chalk it up as a loss lol. another learning experience to add to the list. will be more mindful about it in the future to prevent from happening again haha.
 
Just got back from Vegas with the fam. Did some handheld shooting while I was out there. Majority on my kit lens..

What macro lenses do you guys use? or do you any of have experience with extension tubes? I am thinking about copping the Kenko tubes but can't find many references online.
 
Wanted to go shooting today, but opted to just chill on my day off. Instead went through some old photos and looked for shots I may have passed over the first time
 
^I have to do that too. I hate the process of going through photos because you can come back months later see pics you missed. I just got lightroom like two months ago. Still learning but Hopefully my workflow will get better
 
Decided to start saving up for the 24L II and Lightroom.

What is on everyone elses pick up list?

Pay? for Lightroom? You can tactfully acquire a copy. The 24L is dope though just not for the images I shoot. I'm probably gonna cop the 35mm Sigma Art and i want to get the profoto B1 pack.

I dont really mind. Funding my photography gear through buying less shoes haha. I know what you mean. I was considering the 35 Art, but I find myself wanting to shoot as wide as possible. Hope you get a great copy.

It's definitely not for everyone. If I shot people more, I'd go for the 35mm as well. 24mm is just to wide to get a proper portrait look with bokeh and what not. This is sort of a bad example of both cause one shot has more depth than the other but.......

This was shot with a 35mm L. Notice how creamy the bokeh is.

This was shot with the 24mm L. It's sort of the same focal point but I am almost positive if it wasn't for that wall that the one on top would have a better bokeh than the one below.

But the 24mm is a better overall lens because the 35mm can seem limited at times when shooting say landscapes. I almost think the best pairing would be a 35mm and then a ultra wide like a 16-35mm or 14mm for landscapes.
