Bring your camera and lenses. Point it at your model and push that little shutter button. Boom outdoor portrait!

Nice shots. The WB seems a bit off in some though. Lots of blue and pinky colored wedding dress. Maybe that's what you wanted I don't know.

Lenses / Re: I need a 24mm focal lenght Lens.. is the 24mm f2.8 IS right for me?
« on: April 16, 2013, 10:58:00 PM »
if sharpness is what you're after then the new 24 - 70 would be the best way to go and you could get there by selling one of your L primes plus the money you plan to spend already. that lens is awesome across the board and could easily replace one of the fast primes in your kit. Otherwise I don't see a canon AF lens matching up to that nikon...

Yes the new 24-70 is worth it. And No you will not need or use the 24-105. I sold minewithin days of receiving the new lens....and I loved the 24-105. It is simply just awesome!

For street photography these lenses are too wide for a very shallow dof. Try using a fast, long zoom...

Bring a waterproof point and shoot and enjoy the time with family. I carried around one body and lens and would never do it again. Theres just not that much to shoot that a nice point and shoot cant handle...and the hassle with the rides and the heat made it unenjoyable to have a dslr with. Seaworld on the other hand was great with a dslr....

Lenses / Re: Making the most out of a 50 1.2?
« on: January 22, 2013, 12:02:05 AM »
Just recieved mine last friday. Took about 3 shots to fall in love with it. Shot a wedding on sat. Wanted to use it a lot but was worried about the focus I was getting at 1.2. And I have glass to use for 50mm so inbetween locations I did some test shots and manually adjusted the amfa by using the compare screen on the 5d3. At full zoom I decided -6 looked best. After that and a few test shot I felt comfortable using itfor the rest of the night . I did take 3 shots each time at 1.2 to maximise the turnout potential. Sure many of them were soft but the ones that locked on look fabulous. I haven't taken it off since. The balance on a gripped 5d3 is perfect. I agree the shapness is not there esp compared to the new mk2 zooms but the look of the pictures is unlike any lens I have. The 1.4, to me had no special qualities. The 50L is just bada$$. But now im sure ill wake up in a day or 2 to see the announcement of the mk2....

Tough to pan smoothly handheld. But for starters, at 25fps you should be shooting at 1/50 shutter speed.

Lenses / Re: EF 24-70 F/2.8L II USM on 7D
« on: December 11, 2012, 10:34:38 AM »
If money is no object, then the 24-70 II is as good as it gets in that range. However if speed isnt a concern, for a third of the price a 24-105 can be had. Will be the same quality iq or better as your 10-22. I had the 17-55 on a 7d but after a few months, while it had no effect on the pictures, i could not keep a lens that cost that much which fills with dust. i then went with the 24-105 which i used the majority of the time. With the leftover money you could sell your 7d and get a 5d3. About the same end price....but ultimately yes the 24-70 II will not disappoint, on any camera body!

Looks like its time for some off camera flash...the lighting needs some contrast to give it some real mood.

Lenses / Re: 24-105 or 24-70 for weddings, events, travelling (priority in that order)
« on: December 08, 2012, 07:00:44 PM »
Yes! the 24-70 II is a special lens. The 24-105, while a fine lens, doesnt come close to comparison in image quality. Also low light focusing will be much nicer @ 2.8. It is THE finest zoom in that focal length available. .
