Close the thread if I stole it from someone

So, bringing up a question from the last thread, Canon EOS 60D or Rebel T5i for film making and general photography?

Is the 50mm the best lens to shoot at night on a canon t2i ?

The 35 f2 is best in my opinion. lower aperture and IS. which will help dramatically when your starving for light.

cheap to boot as well

took this while riding a boat back to Iloilo from Guimaras. Awesome weather in the Philippines

any tips/improvements? i'm a total noob with this stuff and want to learn. did some stuff on it with Lightroom. I'm not sure if the "path" i took was the right one lol.

Honestly? I do like the original more. The colors are much better i think in there. Sure, it is a bit darker, but still.

I love macrophotography!

CarbonRevenge · Jan 7, 2014

Damn it. My T3i won't get in till tomorrow.

Look at all these awesome photos...that I can't take.

Edit: Most people I know for film use a mix of the T3i/60D and some big heavy non-DSLRs if they can afford it. Especially for film crews. I don't know anyone who owns a T5i at the campus but i'm sure at least 1 person does. There's a BG production group at BGSU that uses a mix of both camera types that I listed so it just depends on things.

I was starting to feel the same looking at them on this page lol. Is there a way to have both photos (original/edited) up in lightroom at the same time while editing?

STM is nice, but go for the 60D. Better AF, better kit lens, same sensor.

Thank you for finally answering, I've been looking lately and I think I'm going to go with the 60D

some hiking pics, technically these were from december but only got them developed last week

this was a shot from my lomo camera, i thought it came out pretty cool

this shot was taken in a really dark room with my yashica iso400 film, surprise how well it turned out even with all the noise. For comparison I have to use iso 1000 and 1.4 to shoot in the same lighting

Tugatrix · Jan 12, 2014

This Christmas I receive a Canon 600D and I have been trying out with the Camera, The new camera really improved my photos, before that i used my phone to take pictures. So how do I share here the photos I have been posting on my flickr?

My flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/104232978@N03/

edit: i figure it out

Some tips would be nice to improve my skills

whenitrains · Jan 12, 2014

Lovely pics guys! I got an ipod touch 5g for Christmas, so far I'm quite impressed with the camera.

Have been neglecting my D7000 lately so took it with me on a weekend to Cardiff

Red · Jan 13, 2014

I've been doing a pathetic amount of photo-taking lately. I miss it.

hEist, your color correction remains impressive... I am not generally a fan but yours are so pleasant.

This single instagram photo is pretty much all I've done the past month. Sad.

In general I've been spending more time with iPhone photos than the more time-intensive 7D. Trying to push what I can do with more basic equipment. Plus it's quicker and easier to whip my phone out of my pocket than lug around a DSLR.

This one is older, taken in November. Did a few baby pictures for a friend. This was my favorite of the set:

hEist, if you don't mind me asking, do you have a very nice monitor you edit pictures on? I have a cheap Asus monitor that is fine for most things but I notice colors are sometimes very different on here than when they're viewed on something with a well-calibrated screen (like an iPad). It might be a minor thing but it bugs me.

Found a Polaroid and a Nikon that I really like at a flea market in La Verna, Texas not far from where I live, I'm gonna go pick those up on Saturday, I'm pretty excited about that. Once I get them I'll post pictures and eventually, pictures I'll have taken with them.

thanks for the kind words.
well, it is an old image but i wanted to try some "new" processing and testing some things out. like here (before&after)

i don't have any nice monitor to be honest, i'm just using a Samsung '27 A350H on my mac mini. I didn't changed any color or something like that. I also use a MacBook Air. That's all. Sometimes i forgot to deactivate f.lux, before processing and need to start again from new.

And there is also one thing: i'm colorblind.
so it often happens, that people see the images not like me. I thought that i am not sooo blind, but after i edited some kenya pictures and went trough them with my girlfriend, she asked me about some "illusions/bad spots" on the images and i couldn't see them. ON that day i realized, that i sometimes see my pictures different than other peoples.

Aesius · Jan 13, 2014

I used to be big into photography from around 2005-2009 or so. Lost interest in it after I had to sell my D200 to pay rent. Sad story.

Anyway, I recently bought a D3200 and a 35mm f/1.8 lens to play around and try to rekindle my interest. Here's a few shots I got at a Beatles tribute concert I went to last weekend. Almost all of these shots are wide open @ f/1.8. I probably could have went up to f/2.8 or so, but I'm still getting used to the fact that shooting @ ISO 1600 isn't my absolute limit.

Would have liked to have my old 50mm f/1.8, or even an 85mm, but those purchases will have to wait for now.

We haven't been for months, but there's no reason we couldn't start up again if enough people were interested!

@hEist:
I am surprised to hear you're colorblind. Your color correction seems so precise I never would have thought you had difficulty perceiving it.

yeah, i was also kinda surprised as my girlfriend mentioned the color flaws.
doc told me 10 years ago, that i have a slightly colorblindness, but it never occurred to me so far. After my girlfriend mentioned it, i did this "color dot tests" and well... i was kinda shocked. Also: i can't see the whole beauty of a freaking rainbow i realized -_-

I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy. *bow*

Here are a few okay shots of the Texas capitol in Austin. Camera=Nikon D3200 with a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX lens.

I'm a n00b in multiple ways so let me know if I'm violating some limit with number of pictures per post, photo size, over-zealous use of lightroom, etc etc

I really enjoy photography. I'm not a man of finer tastes, but after I build up a nice nest egg I'd like to travel with a future version of the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S and a better DSLR.
