i think the main thing here is to get used to your camera's weight. for the 350 and the 400d normal weight without grip is ok. But add in the battery grip plus a heavy 580EX its a different story liao

most zoom lens tend to get soft on the longer end.

So was wondering, if i stop down the aperture to f11 will it help to compensate that problem? I know most lens tends to be sharp at f11 but the softness on the other end of the lens made me confused over this matter

oh yeah, what's the price for a brand new 16-35mm F2.8L II?

really depends on the scene lo, lets say i go 125th ss and iso 100.

^yes, check it, and check for fungus or mold inside the lens too, dont forget to take a few test shots before you buy it.

Never underestimate the kit lens! though i yearn to replace it lol... after long considering im now eying on the 10-22mm. Because the 12-24 sigma doesnt accept filters, though there's a way to fix it but im tight on my budget lol.

And i just found out that at 22mm, the EFS 10-22mm can do portraits, no distortion at all

Im using the Manfrotto 190 XPRO B Tripod + 804 RC2 3 way head.

hehe, at 22mm its a 35mm equivalent to a full frame sensor, so stick to that then its a prime

yeah i do have a 50mm in my arsenal... But i rarely use it

indeed, as proven by Robert Mekis and Lara jade, and others. Err i think v shud put the links of those good photographers who uses the rebel for their work on the 1st page. easy reference

Im bored went out and simply shoot right in front of my house... All in jpeg, not much editing, edited the contrast in photoshop and added watermark. Except for the black and white where i did a little editing. All at f1.8.

I think its a good read.

lol, topic of the period. "I want a 50mm f1.8"

Hey guys, I just stumbled upon something interesting. Its about ND filter. Its about the usage of ND filters and their functions. This is the link:
http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Using-a-...-Density-filter

Seems like a normal read? Wait this is the interesting part, so ill quote it here instead:


Anyone wanna try it? I only have 1 CPL here.

A user at another forum actually tried it, so ill quote it again:
im not too sure whether the link works. Do report to me if the link is dead.

And apparently a brand named Singh-ray produce such kind of ND filters where u can rotate the front elements like a polarizer to enhance its effect.

Was browsing through another guai lou forum, then stumbled upon this stuff, interesting eh?

well, the obvious answer is get a new one, look for a cheap 1 of course. If it really does work, then im sure the reward is a DIY good ND filter in your arsenal

haha, some ppl came out with good feedbacks about this technique. I think its about the quality of the filters you bough. im going to give it a try, going to find some capalang filters to experiment.


Even pentax users kept on promoting their stuffs(no offense ya).

I once tried the A700 too. Pretty darn good camera(it was Ted Adnan's cam). The camera that time was equipped with a zeiss... the bokeh it produce was really...

poisoning

I would like to share a tutorial with my fellow rebels

Read it here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...60&p=15121544&#
