EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Canon 40D or XS
« on: August 17, 2012, 07:09:30 AM »
I'd go with the 40D - more rugged than the XS - get it serviced and it will last a long time.
Btw, which lenses will you be getting from your father?
Cheers

Portrait / Re: Quality of Portraits
« on: August 16, 2012, 05:11:35 AM »
There is always someone willing to shoot for less than you - fortunately some clients know the difference in quality and those are the ones I want to build long term relationships with.
I also get offers of having my name credited on the website/ magazine etc instead of $$$s, because it will get my name out there and I'll get more business. It doesn't work!
Next time I need a plumber to fix my washing machine I'll offer to put his name on my website as a recommendation of his excellent skills instead of a payment as he'll get more business from people visiting my website somehow I don't think that will work so why should I shoot for free?
Exception will be for a trade for some pet project or something extraordinary missing from my port.

Lenses / Re: Do you switch off IS in sunny days?
« on: August 16, 2012, 04:50:32 AM »
IS stays on pretty much all the the time. Only exception is tripod use which doesn't happen very often.
It's unlikely you'll we'll off the IS due to constant use.

Lenses / Re: Any updates on the 24-70 2.8 II lens?
« on: August 15, 2012, 06:25:41 AM »
I'd suggest holding on from buying anything else if you can unless you are losing business or precious family moments by not having this lens in your kit.
By all accounts it's going to be a stellar lens - let Canon fix whatever bugs that need fixing and you'll have a lens for years to enjoy.

Lenses / Re: 85mm f/1.2 ii or 135mm f/2
« on: August 15, 2012, 01:12:34 AM »
If its one or the other, I'd suggest the 85 1.2.
I recently had the pleasure of using it as well as the sigma 85 1.4 and for me Canon wins. It was a bit slower indoors but that's something I can live with. I love the creamy bokeh it produces - its just magical.

Hand held 1/20 is bit slow without an IS so a tripod would be advised. Also, you may have some motion blur too so a faster shutter will be req.
Also, I wonder if the camera focused on the background rather than the subjects?
I'd suggest keep practicing in the low light situations - even try the M mode with auto ISO.
Happy shooting
