Shooting at 7mm

anwmn1 · May 19, 2008

Shot with a local group yesterday and the challenge was to meet at a restaurant and everyone pick a single focul length to shoot with for the day without knowing the subject. I picked to shoot with my 7-14 at 7 and prayed we weren't shooting wildlife.

We ended up at Goldfield Mine- an old mine now turned tourist attraction with gift shop, museums, restaurants, etc.

Here are a few 7mm shots- all shot handheld.

1.

2.

3. This one needs a slight straightening still

4.

5.

6.

This lens is starting to show its versatility and I like it! :barb

I'd say the lens gave you some great shots on everything you put it to
work on.

Very cool location. I'm predisposed to liking gears
and machines, so I'm partial to #5.

Really love the photo's. I do something similar on my own. Leave the house for a day of shooting with one prime lens. Can really make you be creative.

looks to have been a great outing!

You did a great job with these! What a great outing and fun way to approach it. It is times like this that you grow in your abilities. Very well done! Great location as well.

Thanks for sharing.

is the 7-14 an Oly lens?

Awesome shots. I love rusted old hulks. Would really like to see a close up of that old steam driven vehicle in #1

I was wondering where you all were going to end up. I was in Flag for the weekend. Not much shooting just a lot of relaxing.

Nice shots.

It was way to bright to shoot that thing wide so I hid in the shade and shot part of the wheel. You might find it interesting.

Nice shots.

Sounds like a nice time and you come home to the voting scandal on our favorite site and 108 degrees.

I am heading up North possibly this weekend and next for some camping.

We have a photo thread on "mine" now so hope to see some posts from you.

Nice. I like ultrawide and you've done a great job with this lot. The subject suits the lens very well.

What a fascinating place to photograph. I'd never seen photos taken at 7mm that I know of.

Your lucky it wasn't wildlife

Enjoyed them all

How's it going there. I havn't been to either place in almost 2 weeks. I'm tired of the childishness. I actually got myself banned or in time out in 85... but then they reloaded me. I sort of heard about the election thing, but honestly considering the parties involved...anyway, maybe I'll check out the photo thread. Thanks for the heads up.
