^^^^^^Rolo. Your lens is insane dude. I walk those areas all the time cause I work there and never think it is that big of a deal. It looks way better then it should dude. Props.

mikejs210 to add to what ksteezy said;

I'm just speaking for myself since I recently had done my first wedding, but what ksteezy said for the most part is true. I'll admit, I like Canon lenes better than Nikons and I'm a Nikon owner. Although, I do prefer Nikon bodies for the layout but thats me.
- Generally speaking, you want to invest in fast lens i.e f/1.2, f/1.4 f/1.8 & f/2.8. Anything else from that point from what I see will make it harder for yourself. It just makes it a lot easier for desired results. It's not cheap and the only way from spending less than your budget is either renting or borrowing from someone.
- Having a FF body will not only handle high iso and low light situations, but will benefit you more.
- Like ksteezy said, more and more want photojournalism wedding shots, it's nice to see how the day unfolds.

I can keep rambling, but I rather not. Some photos from my first wedding & I hope this helps.

Thanks for the information guys. I really appreciate it. And yeah, I didn't wanna use a friend or family member's wedding as practice, but I always get asked after doing a couple birthdays and stuff like that just on the side. This all just started as a hobby but like someone else said, I had no idea how expensive it can get if you want to keep upgrading. I guess as far as upgrading my camera though, what body should I be looking at?

 

[ksteezy]

If you want to pursue this as semi-pro, you should get the juice out of the camera you have now, when you can go bigger, look into the 5dmkII or most likely by the time you do want to upgrade the mkIII will be in the market....for now though...stick to your camera, get a couple of primes first.

sup, i need advice.

      so my current setup is the canon 7d with the 24L (version II).

      but i realize that the camera is so bulky and heavy that i rarely carry it.

      ....however, i love the shots it produces.  so here is my question:

      what do you guys think of the sony nex7?

      if i were to combo it with a panasonic leica dg summilux 25mm f1.4, do you think i would get similar quality images?

      here's some background info... the nex7 will have a 24mp sensor as opposed to my 18mp 7d (both cropped).

      but here's where i'm having trouble making my judgement... the canon glass has 13 elements in 10 groups while the panasonic has 9 elements in 7 groups.

...thoughts? any insight would be appreciated.  thanks again.

My Rebel went poop, so I'm in the market for a new DSLR

 

[ground king]

Hey guys, taking my first digital photography class next semester, and I don't know what to really expect... always have been an amateur photographer and never really got into it.

can anyone give me some tips and rules of thumb when it comes to photography?? i am also using a canon rebel t1i if that matters! but never really used it to its full potential.

thanks, and keep posting your pictures, it really is inspiring
