Oh that water mark really hurts your composition, maybe if you put it in the bottom left? nice shots though

Thanks. The watermark is transferred from my website to Flickr and is designed to discourage theft, without being too obtrusive. Sometimes there are necessary compromises to be made.

Unfortunately I didn't have a 77mm ND filter so I hit f/20 with my Elinchrom Ranger RX but it turned out good enough! I posted another one of Paige in the 200mm f/2.0 section but it was an amazing shoot

What'd you do for all the colors? Post increased the saturation/vibrance? faux-HDR?

Yeah I edited in camera raw 7.0 and boosted vibrance and saturation then ran it through a filter. I recently picked up Alien Skin and I often tweak one of the presets and then i adjust the opacity of the new layer until it looks good (usually 50%)

Top 2 taken with the 1dm3 making it 31.2mm. Perfect! Last one of guys on the bridge is with the 5dm3.

5DM3 @ F7.1. Who says you can't do portraits with a 24mm F1.4 LII??

The 24L II is my fav food lens too!

One of the things I like about the 24L MkII is the close minimum focusing distance and while food and product photography isn't something I get excited about, it shows off the low levels of distortion from the lens.

I plan on using it for some portraits tomorrow. It's a bit out of my comfort zone, but it should be a good experience.

I love the 24 1.4 for environmental portraits.

I don't use F1.4 much it is amazing what F1.4 looks like for a wide lens like this. Was this a crop? It seems you would need to be 4ft away from her but the it is really tightly framed by her ball cap suggesting you were even closer. Looks like you have you done many portraits with the 24 from your postings. Nice work. You have a focus in concert photography?

I just had a 24*36 inch print of this image made. It looks amazing considering it's around f16 with a 10 stop filter.

I only crop vertically since I prefer 16:9 or even 2.39:1. In the above photo she was less than 2 feet away. This lens is pure magic for it's ability to grab a subjects surroundings and add context to portraits.

In the above photo my subject was less than 3 feet away.

I find street portraits and concert photography the most fun, but I've been wanting to get into event, architecture and landscape. I've only been shooting "seriously" for about 8 months.

Thanks, I'm still processing, but I got some with my 50mm f/1.4 I'm really happy with (ok I had some help with the ligthing) and I got some with the 24 too, so I'll post them when I get there. The best ones were in the railway workshop.
