Canon F&F 20% off select bodies, lenses, flash gear. Thinking about picking up the 28mm.

Edit: Just got the 28mm 1.8. Now I have to save up for the 6D

Free ground shipping code:SHIP14FF

I know mine is a Nikon, but I love my 28mm. I'm shooting on a DX camera for the time being but the character the lens gives to the images is ridiculous. Enjoy it my friend.

Upgrading to the D800 from the D600. Found it for only 300 more than I paid for my D600

That's crazy. I'm sure you will love it.

Did you sell the 600 before or going to have 2 bodies? I would love to upgrade soon too.

I am returning the 600 for full price back to Amazon ( I love amazon). Not at the point in my life where I can have a FF camera as a "backup" 

 though it'd be nice to keep it.

Bring them all. The kit lens may not be as sharp as some of your prime lenses and you won't have the shallow DOF, but if you are shooting both models at the same time then you should be shooting at a higher f-stop anyway. Lens are a small part of what you are about to experience. Find your light, be creative, pose your models well, and stay positive. The venue looks cool though, good luck and share some of your pics when finished.

What would you recommend my f-stop should be at if I'm using my 50 f/1.8 ?

 

[goste187]

^^ that depends so much...what are you focusing on? Are these head shots...body shots..group shots..are you looking to capture the background or blow it out? Lighting conditions....are you using flash at all?

I am assuming this is more for recreation, so I would just experiment and try to have fun, as suggested.

edit: Actually to play it safe, I'd stick around f/11 to keep everything reasonably sharp at least if you're really unfamiliar with your camera so far.

On a crop sensor? I'd go with 17-50/f2.8 shooting more than 1 person at a time (tamron and sigma make these). I believe the Canon/Nikon equivalent is 17-55mm.  If they are going to be more individual, I think your 50mm will be fine.

Some long exposure

Does that star effect just appear with the long exposure?

When you crank your f stop to 13 and a 30sec long exposure you'll get that effect.

The 50mm will be a good choice on that crop sensor. My preference is an 85mm because of the bokeh it produces at its length. But for group shots the 50 is the way to go. It might take some getting used to not having a zoom but you will be happy with the quality.

Lol very random. You might have, I've played in a few leagues over the years. Small world

I was going to re commend the same but thought he might wanna save a few bucks. If money isn't an issue I Def cosign on the 85mm as well for individual shots.

Thanks, I do have a site -> http://www.bammesphoto.com
It needs some serious updating though. Thinking bout starting over from scratch.

Can anyone tell me how to fit a whole picture onto instagram without re-sizing?

Normally I just change the pic size while on my camera, but I feel it makes the picture worse.

Or am I just tripping?

Anyway..

Few shots from this past weekend.
