[QUOTE="STM, post: 752067, member: 12827"] I got a new toy in the mail the day before yesterday, not exactly a lens but still a chunk of glass that forms an image; an 80mm lens ball. I braved below freezing temperatures and an even colder wind chill this morning to get this image of a sunrise with the D850 and 24mm f/2 AIS Nikkor. I went out yesterday to the site and did a dry run, playing with angles and focal lengths since I was not going to have time to experiment the day of the shoot. The 24mm seemed to give me the best combination of near to far depth of field @ f/11 and size of the ball in relation to the rest of the image. The 15mm and 18mm gave great perspective, but even with the ball less than a foot away from the front element of the lens, it was too small in the frame for my liking. I could not get the depth of field I wanted with the 35mm f/1.4 so it did not get the job either. [ATTACH=CONFIG]351715._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
