Abstracts, close-ups and sports photography with the Canon EOS 88 AF 35mm SLR With telephoto zoom lenses like the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM, subject matters like abstracts, still-life and sports comes into mind. While short lenses like the supplied EF 35-80mm f/4-5.6 III lens or other zooms with similar focal lengths are also able to shoot abstracts and close-ups, the telephoto versions makes it much easier to do so. As most users already know, abstract refers to tightly cropped images of any subject matter, especially still-life objects and architectures. People and animals can also be the subjects for abstract photography although you will be hard pressed to find that few have really used them in such fashion. Nevertheless, here are some examples of abstract photos that were shot with the EOS 88 camera with the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III zoom lens. A banner from a petrol brand's promotion (200mm) Apartment building's facade during cloudy weather (300mm) A Christmas decor from a shopping mall (250mm) Same decor but from a different part (250mm) Another part of the same décor (250mm) Still another angle of the same décor (250mm) What is this? (200mm) What it actually is, an abandoned stall (100mm) Speed limit road sign, horizontally (200mm) Same road sign, vertically (200mm) The EOS 88's Evaluative metering and Intelligent Programmed AE mode were used for all the photos shown above. I agreed that there is nothing astonishing in all those photos above mainly because they were plain, everyday sights one can see almost anywhere. But ask yourself this question: Would you thought of photographing them this way had you come across these subjects by yourself when out shooting with your EOS 88 camera? << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .
