I think that there's a difference between being negative and complaining. I think complaining can be quite positive in fact, but maybe that's just because i cant find my own mute button :)The D in D & Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529371184580720085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-56113680220032924912008-03-28T07:41:00.000-04:002008-03-28T07:41:00.000-04:00good eye, Fredrik!

Drat.<BR/><BR/>I haven't gotten another lens for the 40D and already see the limits of the 17-55. I haven't really worked with a wide angle lens before and should start. <BR/><BR/>recently I've noticed that even though I love the horizontal format, my more successful shots are vertical due to composition. I have to train my eye.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the tip! I will be making my purchase soon.

But there's some annoying blur at the bottom. Greasy finger on the lens or some moist perhaps!? ;)<BR/>A tip is to get a UV filter, if you don't already have one. It has an antireflection coating and protects the expensive lens. Did you get any other lenses than the 17-55? You'll soon be craving for a serious wide angle lens, or even a fisheye lens. I've seen very cool pictures of NY with that on.Fredrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116211754147379438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-80802773389047842992008-03-27T21:16:00.000-04:002008-03-27T21:16:00.000-04:00Hey KizzI agree with you.

But it's a worthy goal.<BR/><BR/>Hi Olivier<BR/>I used to work near the New Yorker Hotel. It's huge!<BR/>I don't often visit Rockefeller Center, but I'm thinking there are great photos to be had there.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mr Lincoln<BR/>Yes, those old photos are pretty cool. Funny to think that that's how people saw their world photographically back then.<BR/><BR/>Hi Spandrel<BR/>lol about the conspiracy. I'm an expressive person, so it's hard to put on the mute button.<BR/>I agree with you about positive thinking. It can really transform your perception of the world, and induce good things to happen!<BR/><BR/>Hi Barber Bunch!<BR/>Thank you! Yes, buildings are cool. People are interesting, too. I try to show a mix of both. :-)Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-48776904713470625762008-03-27T07:51:00.000-04:002008-03-27T07:51:00.000-04:00Great Pic!

Thinking positively definitely makes a difference in one's mood. And I've had many fantastic opportunities just fall into my lap when I've consciously sent out a more positive vibe.<BR/><BR/>Like the photo's perspective!Spandrel Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782425263902619415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-38783618428308215732008-03-27T04:45:00.000-04:002008-03-27T04:45:00.000-04:00Very attractive photo of your city.
