This is something that has been bugging me for a while. Almost all the sample shots on photography sites are at best beginner level. I mean check this out from the review of Canon's later lens: the 50 F2.0 on dpreview: https://www.dpreview.com/samples/01...tm_medium=marquee&utm_campaign=traffic_source
Really? This is his idea of abstract? Even technically it sucks with the background so in focus when the purpose of this lens is to blur the background. Here are some more awful shots:
The heck is this? Landscape? This dull? So a girl is laying down in an otherwise boring and cluttered scene and it makes for a good picture???
What on earth is this disaster? With flower shots like this, most of the time you want the foreground in focus, not the other way around. Even if this was shot that way, it is an uninteresting subject.
That's it? Two bikes on the left? You want those on the right so that the eye can travel in their direction.
I believe dpreview is local to us. There is so much beauty around us and this is the only landscape the guy found?
I bet he was really proud of this shot:
You just have to shake your head.
Wow, a fire hydrant. Better run and submit this to a photo competition. I am sure it will win.
That's the ticket.....
How about more boring and technically poor fern shots?
He is by the beach and this is all he could muster?
He must have a thing for fire hydrants:
As if those weren't so bad, he posts this:
Honestly? This is what you use a 50mm F2.0 for? And what a disaster the foreground is. What on earth made him think this moment and sight was worth preserving?
Mind you, there are a few that are OK but 90% is this kind of horrible imagery. Why won't they give the lens to someone, just about anyone, who can make better use of it than this guy?
How did these guys rise to be the premier photo site and not have someone who knows how to take pictures?
If I were the canon marketing person who gave them this lens, I would not have shown up for work the next day!
