Thanks,

ah yes...the interior shot...depending on what you want of course but at first blush (i'm going to google nikon equivalents here...) you have a full-frame so get the 17-35 f/2.8 and go nuts. maybe combine with a good macro to pick up some of the subtle nuances of the interior design.

Here's one. Wrong lens, no depth of field, but better than nothing (35mm Summicron F2 Asph, 1/90th, f3.4 ISO 160).

looks like you're focusing on the stick.
maybe try on the chrono and close down to f11 or just above to f8.

Agreed; was in a hurry on that shot because I had to move the car to let someone get in their garage, so just shot aperture priority with an open aperture from my prior shot. Next time....

I like what you did here! I think 35mm was a nice compromise as a 50mm wouldn't have captured everything, and I don't like what a 20mm-ish would do to a confined space like an interior.

Depth of field is great too IMHO - gives the image a softness on the seat and wheel where sharpness wouldn't have helped anyway.

A beer for you next time you're in Calgary! Keep 'em coming!

Absolutely lovely. I have so much love for Graphite Grey, and the 50th Anniversary Edition.

Can't wait for mine to get in.

Thanks for sharing, and enjoy in good health!
