The Fabulous 500 Gets Dusted At the 30 Yard Line!

Yes sports fans, once again the Fabulous 500 holds it own against all
obstacles. Even with a crappy background and the mediocre bokeh of the Fab
500 doesn't hold Ty back from dusting the opposition.

The only comment I would make -- and I don't want to start a flaming
war -- is that you should get the kid's helmet adjusted. His chin is
awfully exposed and getting hit on the chin is the quickest way to a
concussion. Also, teach him to keep his chin down, more.

I didn't have much time to grab a photo, so this is the first one I
saw. Look at the replationship of the helmet to chin to face-mask.

Anyway, nice picture.

P.S. My son plays full-back, so he never sees an open field. Usually
it's 3 or 4 yards up the middle. Here's what he considers having
space around him:

Thanks for the excellent pointers. Constructive criticism is always
welcome. I think once the coach from each team review the photos they will
see what is happening and what is not happening and take corrective action.
Some of these little items of concern aren't really visible to us till after
the fact. The nice thing about photos is you always see something you
missed when looking at it live.

I really like the action in this shot. What's really nice is these kids
play harder and have more spirit than most NFL players.

Looks like an awful lot of chromatic aberration for such a swell lens.

 

It's not CA. Next guess?

badly used blur tool........

 

Sorry, not with the Fabulous 500. Canon is guilty of many flaws in their L
glass, but CA isn't one of them on the old 500/4L IS. The bokeh is for
crap, that's it.





Rita

 

BINGO!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

This is called "Tennessee bokeh" for the people that didn't catch it. It's
an old hillbilly technique used to cover shortcomings in poor quality L
glass. I confess, I learned it from a certain someone in this group.

My next goal is to get images with that painted on watercolor look that is
so animated.

Cash prize, or just the warm glow of winning ;-)

 

I'm not talking about bokeh. I was referring to the purple fringing
where the white borders the black.

 

When you are dealing with fools like Rita and D-Mac, who don't know
how to use Photoshop properly, you're liable to see all kinds of messy
things in their pics.
For them, shooting JPGs with a cheap point-and-shoot would be a better
choice.

 

Interesting hypothesis Bret.
This coming from the village idiot who though my use an alienskin
plugin to add some lightning to the shot: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/27848862
was real "cool" stuff when you thought you'd be such a fantastic
SHOOTIN manager! ROTFL at that one. Who rules with that one mate?

Every time you have a go at other people, you stick your foot further
down your throat. I reckon pretty soon you'll need colostomy bag just
hold your spare shoes!.LOL!!
