i know man, my bad.. Everyone kept telling me it was time to upgrade to full frame and not go that fisheye route.. had i know it was a NT fam id have a fisheye right now since ive yet to make that upgrade :/

 

[ksteezy]

Yeah small e-world...but if your plan is to upgrade to full frame get the canon or sigma 15mm...the 10mm will be a waste, that's what happened to me....I sold it though...and got the sigma 15mm nikon mount....lovely lens

   Yea the 15mm canon will be first priority after full fram upgrade. I was upgrading my lenses and almost ended up with a few non full frame glass that im sure i would have regreted buying once i went full frame. But thanks for the heads up bro!

This low light photo of a performer probably moving around a ton, what settings did you use to snap a photo such as this? (obviously no flash)

honestly i cant remember my settings...if you check my flickr the exact specs should be their. One thing i can say the most important thinkg for low light is your lens. This was shot with a canon 17-55 2.8....When taking some pics artist i like the natural lights of the venue cause it sets the mood.

you can very well capture plenty of ambient light while exposing your subject, just bouce your flash, set your iso high, your shutter at around 160 and your aperture low...
something like this...

I swear every time I use flash indoors the subject is bright as can be but the background is near black, I'll mess around with those settings tonight for experimentation.
...what kind of flash are you guys using? I am pretty much only using the built in flash since I rarely use flash to begin with.

I want to start taking product shots in natural and fluorescent lighting, any recommendations on lenses? (i have a t2i) and what about settings? thanks!

 

[dunks r nice]

Helow - Thanks. that road shot makes me wanna take those empty road shots.
Fong - The corner of Commercial and Grant. If you go early, you get a better chance of taking the photo because parked cars block the way. The have a plexiglass over the piece to reserve it.

 

[bishop23w]

What camera would you guys suggest for video if you can't afford the T2I ? I'm looking to make my first purchase but I'd like to be able to shoot video as well as photos

 

[Fong$tarr]

^^^Hate to say it but the T2i is really the cheapest DSLR with video option. Nikon's entry DLSR might be a tad cheaper but it would be worth it to save a little bit more and get the T2i.

 

[sn00pee]

hmm, seems like my last post fudged up..
Anyways, shot my first "model". Blown highlights everywhere.
she was stiff as a board but whatev. It was fun.
Learned not to shoot directly under the sun though.

 

[majicman]

Playing around with some different settings for the very first time in Lightroom. Feedback is appreciated.
