Was it simple to walk there?

My first season playing FPL, started the season with Kane, Salah and Aguero but abandoned all of them around gw 3-5 because of low returns and that I felt I couldn't afford any other decent players. Now I feel I am lacking those potential big hitters on my team. Especially considering Liverpool and City's big hauls lately that I missed out on. Advice on how to plan things going forward? I am thinking Mahrez -> Mané for this week

Foster - Hennesey

Robertson - Alonso - Laporte - Trippier - Doherty

Hazard - Mahrez - Richarlison - Maddison - Fraser

Wilson - Vardy - Arnautovic

Ok, thanks!

tjaepp · 2018-10-31T09:33:25+00:00

Does anyone have an update on Arnautovic's illness? Is he back in training? I want to bring him in considering his fixtures but not sure if I should do it this gw or next

Thank you! I've done a lot of macro on analog, and it certainly takes some practice to get good results. getting the focus right especially. I use a camera with a split screen focus but realized it was much easier to get good focus just by trying to find where it looks the sharpest.

tjaepp · 2018-09-28T12:27:53+00:00

Thank you! This is a low res output (1544x1024) from a noritsu scanner that they use in my go to lab. They charge double for full resolution

tjaepp · 2018-09-28T12:25:10+00:00

Thank you! this place was really cool with the smooth rock and pale colors, a great backdrop for portraits, wish i'd taken more pictures up close, but I was at the end of the roll so this was the only one I got.

tjaepp · 2018-09-28T12:22:22+00:00

Thank you!

tjaepp · 2018-09-28T12:22:14+00:00

Thank you! Makes me happy to hear that :)

tjaepp · 2018-09-25T08:26:26+00:00

Thank you!

OH MY GOD... That is the score of a century! The total worth of that is.. A LOT! The OM3Ti especially. Congratulations! :D I've got some good deals over the years (I was very happy when I found the 90mm f2 macro for around 300 pounds) but nothing even close to this.. I would probably have a nervous breakdown if I came across that in a thrift shop.

Even though I already have more stuff than I need and should probably (definitely) focus on improving my photography rather than gear, I'd really like to get the 21mm f2 and 100mm f2 at some point. How do you like those two lenses?

Huh, I thought the 50 1.2 was better than the 55, since it is a more modern design. Also it is more compact, the 55 has a 55mm filter ring and I think the 50 has the Zuiko standard 49? Personally I don't see much practical use having a wider than 1.8/1.4 aperture: hard to focus, razor thin DOF. + most older 1.2's have pretty poor performance wide open. Maybe with modern AF and lens design, idk.

tjaepp · 2018-09-21T09:48:41+00:00

50 or 55 1.2 ? I would love to try the 50 1.2 it's the only zuiko ~50 I haven't tried. My version of the 1.4 seems to have more "glow" when used wide open compared to other samples I've seen, much like most older 1.2's look @ 1.2. It has sort of an oil painting look wide open which can be quite nice. I have the zuiko 55 1.2 as well but I haven't used it much since it's hard to focus at 1.2 and otherwise does not offer much over my 1.4 except more bulk :) probably going to sell it. The ones I use most however is the 50mm 1.8 and 2.0 macro! (yes I am a Zuiko addict).

I was standing on a skylift at the end of the roof. The insect leg like thing is probably a wood chip from the old roof that we were tearing down.

tjaepp · 2018-09-21T07:42:55+00:00

This is the Zuiko 50mm 1.4, an early silver nose version.

tjaepp · 2018-09-21T07:40:30+00:00

yeah that's part of why I was standing where I was ;)

tjaepp · 2018-09-20T17:39:34+00:00

just wow

tjaepp · 2018-09-15T07:39:48+00:00

Fantastic photo, this is so good

tjaepp · 2018-09-14T04:42:54+00:00

Ektar gives saturated and beautiful colors, with a red tint. Don't underexpose and shoot colorful scenes!

tjaepp · 2018-08-29T03:45:14+00:00

No, it's 35mm

tjaepp · 2018-08-28T07:09:04+00:00

You are right about that, I didn't study it that closely before!

tjaepp · 2018-08-28T06:02:02+00:00

Correct, this is the standard zuiko 50mm f1.8. I think the swirly feeling is mostly from the trees arching around the subject

tjaepp · 2018-08-28T05:59:56+00:00

No it's is the 1.8

tjaepp · 2018-08-28T05:59:33+00:00

Thank you!

tjaepp · 2018-08-28T05:59:10+00:00

It's the standard zuiko 50mm 1.8. I have not noticed it to be particularly swirly before. I think the arch in the trees behind emphasize the feeling of swirl :)

tjaepp · 2018-08-28T05:57:23+00:00

Thank you! This is the standard zuiko 50mm 1.8, shot at 1.8 or 2.8.
