From a recent date with an italian...

Nice shots!

[Mr Messy]

Thanks mate, I like your thorny depth of field too.

Cheers bloke.

Just out of interest, what settings where the close up photo's take at? And what camera do you use?

No worries, the close-ups are all shot with a Canon 50D and 50mm 1.8 lens (the $150 nifty fifty!).

All shots are at f 1.8, iso 100 and quite quick shutter speeds... The yellow shield, for example, was at 1/8000th.

The shots have had a quick touch of "levels" in photoshop, but that's it.

Impressive!

1/8000! Mine only goes to 1/4000. Even though, still a great camera to learn on.

Did you use a tripod for the yellow shield and front grill?

WOW! I seriously love this shot mate.

Nah, at 1/8000th you could release the shutter while moshing and you wouldn't get blur!

It's nice to be able to use such a high speed because getting that depth of field at 1.8 lets in a lot of light. My camera only goes down to ISO 100, so shutter speed slower than 1/5000th or so would have totally blown the picture.
