JPZx, nice stuff, but I agree on the polarising lense. WHat camera are you workin with? And I'd suggest you get a stand for your camera. Or increase yourISO a bit and make the snapshot lenght a bit less.
Irapthough, I like the one with the crayons!
Rap sizzle- I think its a reasonable price. Where are you ordering from?

^ a store called Cameta Camera through Amazon

 

[i love af1]

Jaw Knee C - I looked in the EXIF data, and it says the exposure is 2 sec, aperture is f 5.6 and ISO 200. Do you think that affects the quality in any way?

And you won't need a convex filter if you had a convex lens. Actually, and anyone correct me if I'm wrong here, the glass in all lenses are either convex or converging.

i know one of my lenses has a flat glass and my other lens has a convex glass.

Here are some pics from my family's new year

I realize i have the same tag "in focus" like someone else in this thread (not intentional), anyways i've been taking more pictures with theCanon EOS20D kit that i received as my graduation gift. I've tried doing research for this camera and it seems it is not that popular. Anyways can anyonerecommend me a good camera lens? I just want a better lens that came with my kit. Also i would appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks

also kdwallace - what the difference between a polarizing filter and a UV filter? also, the tip of my lens rotates as it auto-focuses... will that affect the polarizing filter? thanks...


The only thing that the rotating affects is the amount of polarisation. A polariser has it's maximum effect at certain angles (depending on what angle thereflective surface is in your picture) so if you compose and then change the focus then the polarisation will change - as the lens rotates.

All it means is that you will have to readjust your polariser after focussing.

Like already said a UV filter doesn't do anything for digital but it is a cheap way to protect your lens - I have one on each of mine but I'm going tohave to buy a couple more as I've scratched one - better than scratching the front element of my lens though.

i would also like to know.. and thanks for the heads up on that too

edit: i ended up google'ing it and came across this page

You'll definitely need a tripod as you'll be looking at exposures of around a 60s - which will probably mean using the bulb mode.

A remote release is handy too but not too critical for long exposures.

Can someone explain what each type of lens is suited for (how should a 28-90mm lens be used differently from a 75-300mm and etc.). I just bought my first DSLR,a Rebel XT and am looking for a lens that is best for portraits and for taking pictures of social events such as birthday parties and weddings. I wasconsidering getting the Canon EF 28-90mm F/4-5.6 III or the Canon Normal EF50mm f/1.8 II. I'm on quite a tight budget and was wondering which would be best for my needs.

 

[airjordanjack]

Nice stuff everyone.
Critiques please?
Photobucket messed em up a bit.
