maybe a wide angle lens? when i shoot in NY, the first lens i reach for is the 50. i find the 50 has a good enough reach on a crop sensor without being too limited. but sometimes i'll bring my 24 when i want to get a whole street scene or buildings. the 24 lets me get REAL close to people without them thinking i was taking shots at them. i frame them to the side a little bit and shoot, the wideness allows me to do that. but you can't go wrong with the nifty fifty. if you've got a kit lens, bring it too.Originally Posted by jdidkc

you can cop the mug at amazon, got it as a gift. as for the thermos, it's not really a thermos...it's my lens. needed an idea for a pic so i pretended that it was a thermos.

Hey man, I shoot with a 7D and I believe adobo shoots with a 5D Mark II. My first DSLR was an Olympus E-volt E500, learned the basics on that before I gave it to my girl. Lenses vary in price because you pay for, the most part, what you get. The most expensive lenses have better build quality, better optics, have IS, and you are paying for the NAME. Expensive zoom lenses maintain the same aperture which lets in more light, better at low light. You often hear that it's not always about the lens/camera and that it's about the photographer and I suppose that's true, but it sure does help to have some good equipment...it makes things easier.Originally Posted by LiCeNseD To BaLL
Ok this is kind of a long read...ive been lurkin for months but i think its time to ask you guys for help. Im sorry for all the words, i just really need some help.
Burstmode, adobo, you guys have amazing shots...do you guys think you can share with me what cameras you use? Also, what was your guys first DLSR's?
Also, i know this has probably been talked about somewhere in this thread but can someone break down of the different lenses you guys purchase to add to your collections? What makes a lense worth spending 500 dollars on when your camera that you already spent 900 comes with one? Im sorry for the noob questions, i know i can just google but if one of you guys would be nice enough to help me out i would appreciate it. You guys really seem to know your cameras.
P.S. I have a budget of 900 to get started on photography past a beggining level. Im a graphic designer so i have photoshop, illustrator, etc down...but the problem is when it comes to photography theres so many recommendations for cameras i really have a hard time deciding what to choose. I have a basic photography background from school so im way passt point and shoots. Im just tired of depending on other people for photos when it comes down to my design projects, i want to be able to take my own and make more profit off of my business. I hope thats enough info about me to help with some kind of reccomendation, when it comes to photoshop im pretty good but when it comes to choosing cameras themselves i suck, i cant tell the difference between a D40 and a D80...i have no idea why it has such a big price difference...just being honest
