Amazing Gallery
 

Check out this guys gallery. Apparently all taken with a 350D and the cheap nifty fifty lens (50mm 1.8). Absolutely amazing.

I have seen these before and the man is a genius. The scenes alone are breathtaking, but the addition of perfectly composed/exposed children are inspired. I aspire to being 10% as good as that.

Another photographer who blows the mind with the quality of his work.

Roy and Nick, Thanks for the share of two great galleries by two great photographers - both inspiring and humbling at the same time.

Roy some good back drops and lighting and children from a different era. Can you imagine trying to get shots like that in the UK today. Thanks for sharing.

The niffy 50 is a great lens for this sort of work. I did not like it's noise focus ( a real attention grabber ) and lack of close focus.

I found a fantastic shot on Flickr and here the photographer shows how it was created. http://brentbat.blogspot.com/2007/09...scribe-my.html

Absolutely amazing pictures.

Absolutely tremendous images. I find that I can only look at a few at a time before I get depressed and feel like giving up photography.
