I definitely need to work more on my composition first also. Given the chance to test the Lenses, I still feel my pictures are still lagging far behind compared to the ones you posted here.
Your alien technology got 'auto-compose' mode?

Again... private part cannot touch... Only Lenses can touch...

It is why sometime have to remove umbrella lo... No problem for raining or whatever... The 580EX II is very strong. I had been using it a number of times in rain, even drop it... Nothing go wrong...

Hmm... You got your points... How come Lenses can help me compose in the first place?

On second thought, actually my compostion no good la... I think it is more to the Lenses bluring the OOF area for creamy effect and confuss our judgement?

love all ur shots
model is photogenic thus making the shot look very attractive
congrats!!

Hahha finally i got time to view ur pics! Overall good effort, my pick will be no 5 & 6 (due to reflections). While for no 10 watch out for that tiang, its distracting the compo.

Good bokeh for pic 18 but pic 20, eh, the compo makes her face looked fat

Overall, good effort!

i think anyone that shooting portrait here eyeing on full frame camera..
not sure why you eyeing on 1D-series... as you don`t need the crop factor to extend the focal length as like shooting at sepang....
my friend holding d3 swear kao kao as 200mm can`t frame tightly as d2xs at sepang track...
and please... don`t always put a phrase like you need 1D-series or Lense to shoot....
this makes many people feel you are so so so newbie....

for me most of your photo are soft and out of focus...
some photo you really make her looks huge..
so in the end... Lense doesn`t improve your skill/photo anywhere...
just improve the bokehness of the photo...

this is just a feeling of mine after reading your post in this forum saying only 1-series and Lense to shoot a good photo...

The girl is cun.. and good effort for VOIP!! Great!

next time can come out some series with some AV poses... *shy*

Thanks... As some sifu pointed out in photography, the most important is the subject itself, follow by equiptment and then creativity... I guess he is right...

Glad you like it... Maybe due to my own size, I actually prefer gals that has baby fat... Hahaha...

Thanks for your comments. I guess most likely my soft and OOF pictures are all due to my cheap 40D... Must be it

Hehehe... I wish I could... But I just do not have shinchan's skill.....

That's his unique skill....

are you sure??
i checked every photo`s exif you post up...
is more like user problem than the gear problem...
even you get 1-series.. you will still encounter the same problem.. just not as severe....
you put too much attention on getting smooth bokeh than sharper and more in focus photo....
you are challenging the limitation of your lens for some of the photo...

the lens rated widest aperture is f/2.8... no one call you to use f/2.8 to shoot.. you can always shoot with f/3.2 and smaller...
learn how to balance between each element of the photo...

for your information...
every canon SLR regarding what series... AWB are tend to go warm side.....

Yes mei-jie Sifu... THanks for teaching me all these... You are truly a great Sifu...

No wonder all my photos are too soft and all OOF... Thank you again...

snowmei's comments are correct, why do u blame him ?

Please follow the thread to understand.

I believe the person is not a him. Maybe it is why weileong want to buaya her.... Correct me if I am wrong.

Beside, I believe I did not blame any person for anything also... I usually only blame the equiptment...
