Portrait / Re: My photos look so dull
« on: August 16, 2012, 10:45:02 AM »
Im on a really low budget. An L lense feels like lightyears away from me. Plus i think i would rather get a Fullframe body first before im gonna buy any L Lense unless its ridiculously cheap
Probably the next lens i will buy around xmas is an 50mm 1.4 SMC Takumar m42. Good image quality and good price. But so far i just stick with my 50mm f/1.8 II and vivitar/kiron 28mm f/2.5.
I think theyre not bad lenses.
I have an anti flash hate, perhaps i will be cured one day when i get a decent flash. Im traumatized by the P&S inbuilt flashes.
For WB what about this:

Im not a pro so i dont need perfection...just something close to that would be good. I always shoot in RAW.
Anyway thanks for yall advice guess i just have to practice more.

Lenses / Re: What lenses do you own?
« on: August 16, 2012, 03:56:25 AM »
1) What lenses do you own and why do you love/hate each of them?
1100D and...
Canon EF 50mm 1.8II:
My first lens ever cuz its a prime (never liked zoom even in my P&S days). image quality is good and it was cheap. Build quality isnt so important for me. I hate nothing about it except the lens hood makes it look like 50% bigger and not so small anymore.
Vivitar 28mm f/2.5 m42:
I found out my 50mm 1.8 can be quite narrow on my aps-c body and sometimes i just needed more area to work with. I dont got a lot of money so i thought well, why dont just buy an older lens which is way cheaper and totally made out of metal? So i browsed ebay and found one in nearly mint condition.
Hate nothing about it so far except its really a pain in the ass to focus well with my 1100D I got no AF confirm adapter, perhaos i should change that. Any recommendations?
2) How long have you been into photography?
Well just 4 months if i start counting from the moment i got a DSLR. But i always enjoyed photography before when i just had a P&S. In Holidays i used to do long exposure photography and free hand panoramas with my Finepix F10. It didnt turn out too awesome but that days i was already wanting more than just snapshotting randomly. I could feel the potential there is in photography or something like this. So imho im a photographer a long time already but "serious" with a DSLR just 4 months.
3) Any random tips for a noob like myself?
Enjoy what u do and dont get caught up in too much technical stuff.

EOS Bodies / Re: 7d - max ISO issues
« on: August 14, 2012, 04:34:31 AM »The only reason I installed the update was for the Max feature in auto ISO.
Im a bit confused. Do you mean it wasnt possible before the update to set a maximum ISO Limit used when using Auto-ISO?

I wonder again how photographers in the past were able to take amazing shots with crappy cameras and tripods compared to what we have today Imho the photographer makes the photo not the camera...

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 1Dx Err 80 is only the beginning
« on: August 12, 2012, 04:08:33 AM »
U can be sure Canon will do something about it. It would be a really bad reputation for them if they just left it like this.
The things u mentioned seem like they just need software fixes except the focus issue perhaps.
Do all lenses have focus issues?
