Enjoy looking at the pictures in this thread for a while now and the past couple pages are the lulz to me right now.

I am just getting into photography a little and was wondering what are some decent lens to get first? For now I just have the basic 18-55 that the camera comes with (T3). I noticed there is a 50mm with a lot of good reviews on Amazon. Would this be a good 2nd lens? I take pics of the normal stuff... people, scenery, vacations and cars from shows for the most part of it matters.

Get a 50mm for sure. One of the best decisions you can make. I have a 50mm f1.4 and I absolutely love it

make sure you get your free aperture plugins and lynda.com membership too. and that half off incase bags, their dslr sling is a nice basic bag

I'm going to attend a wedding tomorrow.

Friends hired Ryan Brenizer to shoot the wedding.

Question: Would it be weird if i brought my gear?

depends on your definition of gear, if is just a dslr and a lense, not weird at all, alot of people bring their DSLRs to weddings...why?...beats me...

just be mindful of the photographer, dont try to kidnap the couple for your own photoshoot, dont jump into the middle of the isle during the ceremony, dont get on the dancefloor during the first dance and risk being all up in the photographers pictures, simply put act like everyone else who is snapping pics from their iphones....you are a guest, not a paid hired photog.

bring a camera and one lens, but i find it awkward to carry around a bag of gear at a wedding if you're not the photographer.

Been having a t2i since '09, and taking photos every so often... finally decided to pick it up again and the auto-focus on my standard kit lens stops working, anybody have any suggestions or ideas on what the problem might be?

I'm going strictly to observe Ryan at work, hahaha. I'll be rocking the mkiii and 35 1.4 (damn lens is as big as a soda can )

[COLOR=#red]Lynda.com is the truth! I also got a free copy of Logic Pro so the site will be very useful. Do any of you in here get into the other creative fields like vid and music as well as your photography? [/COLOR]

I've always wanted to get into video, but never really had the time to read and learn. I just focused on photography to tried to learn as much as I could.

I messed around with slideshows and adding music in Apeture 3 though. Lol. That was pretty fun. I spent a lot of time making sure transitions were right and the sequence of photos told the story I wanted tell. Just messing around at the end of the day though.

How in the world did you get Final Cut Pro for free??!? That's a come up!

I used to do music. Photography became my focus but want to get back to music. Logic is my DAW.

[COLOR=#red]Yeah I figured a few of you all in here were into other creative media endeavors. mikejs, it's a corporate discount...some things we get for free, some things we get a pretty hefty percentage off. Figured I'd take advantage of the offers and expand my abilities.

BTW awesome footbridge perspective bjamez. [/COLOR]

I agree. The white balance made a huge difference also. Past couple of days I have found myself focusing on white balance so I was def drawn in.
