Impressive how well lenses do these days when stopped down. From the $99 14-150mm to the pricey 75mm prime, all three lenses are sharp in the center. Kind of what you'd expect, but I'm surprised how well the $99 lens does. A quick test tells me that I'm better off with the 150mm setting on the $99 lens than cropping my 75mm, unless light is low... Stuck to JPGs so I wouldn't be tempted to play around with RAW conversions - all four are 600x600 pixel center crops, focus on the 'target' on the side of the toy helicopter. Obviously the 75mm lens delivers f/1.8 and thin DOF, but my hope was that I wouldn't give up much using the 40-150mm on some of my travel trips, and gain a little extra reach. When travelling zooms are often fine as I rarely shoot in low light, or can use a tripod. At home it is a different story as I'm often out with kids in lower light.

Lit with a flashlight in the kitchen. Camera phone mounted to a tripod and knife held in place with clamps. Used self-timer.

One of a few encounters I had with some sharp-horned beasts. Thankfully none showed any interest in sparring with me.
Note the Royal Navy Merlin helicopter which spent a good hour or so just landing and taking off from Predannack Airfield (a satellite airfield for RNAS Culdrose), looping out over Mount's Bay.
This is the front of a Photo Album which was probably made by Cecil Sharp following his visit to Winster on 4 July 1908.
This particular album is incomplete. There is another similiar Album in Winster Morris Dancers Set which was complete when these images were made (November 2008). The complete Album contains a display of six photographs (each 3" x 2") which have been mounted and glued down to expose the photograph. All of the photographs are reproduced in this Set.
The photograph on the back of the two covers is identical. It seems reasonable to infer that Sharp had a number of these Albums made up and that he may have sent them to various people in Winster.
Two of the images from the Album pages have been reproduced in this Set to illustrate the double page layout.
Sharp (or his assistant) took many photographs during his visit and many examples are included in this Set..
Sharp's visit has been well documented elsewhere but not on this site.
Some of his photographs have been published (before 1992) as modern postcards by the English Folk Dance & Song Society. Examples of some of these postcards are also included in this Set.

Edward Sharp started making confectionery in the 1880s. The Macaw was introduced in 1915 with the slogan "Sharp's Toffee Speaks for Itself". The Super-Kreem line was introduced in 1919. Sharp's became the world's largest toffee manufacturer. They were taken over by Trebor in 1961.

The ground can be very "sharp" for a little guy that is all boy. He counts his owies... to him they are the marks of a "tough guy."

I learned about the Montessori method and its focus on self directed activity by children while shooting these images for a friend who is thrilled to be fulfilling a longstanding dream to open a school of her own. We will certainly do a shoot with kids next to add more life and appeal to what will become brochure ware for The Earth School in Bangalore - an element I wish we had right away. That said, it was great fun to explore low angles, common objects, and tabletop photography of the bento box style activity trays for the kids.
Wood work to show how sharp the Tamron 90mm 1:1 macro is.
I love this lens ;-)

Believe it or not, this was shot from the door of my tent. As you can tell from the light, I slept in, but it worked out. The barring on the longest head feathers is pretty indicative of a female sharp-tailed grouse.
