Lencarta Safari Li-on.

Nice

I have a Elinchrom setup for when I need real power.

A long exposure from last week, I remembered this time to cover/close the eyepiece so no stray light would get in. I used a Lee 'Big Stopper' and a Lee 0.6 Soft GND to allow for the extended exposure before sunrise.
The rest of the settings are in the link if you're interested.

The wife said "Let's go shoot some pictures" and I wasn't going to say no

NICE I really need to get big stopper. I love the longer exposures but hate have to stop down the aperture to do it

Sleeve,

Hows that 6d treating you so far? Have a buddy who wants one.

Shit I missed this. I really have not had much time to play with it and even get a solid feel for it yet I have maybe 350 clicks on it (nothing of note to shoot where I have been since I got and this last job frowned highly on cameras on the job let alone wiping out a 6d with a long piece of glass on the end of it). Its great for what I have been able to play with it though thats for sure. I am on my home as we speak, if this winter storm does not get in the way too much I will go hit some spots up and get some thing worth shooting. Or see how all these okies do drivin in the snow and ice since I am Tulsa for the 1st big winter event of the season ;)

Anyone have a Tokina 11-16mm? If so, care to share some shots? I'm looking to buy one.

these photos you posted are really awesome. how many stops is the big stopper filter? looks crazy dark.

hey there pat. sounds like that slr has been getting some use. are you happy with the lens you purchased?

that tokina is the wide angle zoom to get. there is nothing better in its price range.

Yes it has been great. I'm happy with my purchase. I bought a zoom lens that I don't use though. That's when I realized that I find myself in situations where a wide angle is far more useful than a telephoto. I'm going to keep the 70-200mm in the bag but I seriously have not used it once. My kit lens is in a much more usable range for me.

I'm also considering a 35mm f1.8. The guy that shot my wedding used one on my body and it was great. That's not nearly as much $$$ as the Tokina so I'm not as worried about it, though.

Thanks for the info on the Tokina. That's the impression that I got but people are crazy out there.

Thanks mate :) I'm happy you like them!!

The Big stopper is equivalent to ~10 stops of light reduction.
I also have a B+W ND110 filter which also is equal to 10 stops. I wonder if I stacked them what it would look like...

i just purchased a canon sl1 a coupe weeks ago. i chose that model because it is really small and easy to carry around while i'm on the road. the lens i chose was the sigma 18-250. you might consider selling your factory lenses and look closely at that model. i am thrilled with it, its very small size, and the fact that i only have to carry one lens instead of two "kit" lenses. i agree that for the type of pix i shoot, the wide is much more useful. i rented that tokina and was very pleased with it. i am thinking to pick up a manual focus 8mm fisheye too.
