Currently shooting a Rebel T2i with EF-S 17-55 f/2.8.

My son has started youth hockey. While the 17-55 was great if I was skating with him during practice, 55 mm leaves a bit to be desired from...

Those are outstanding, Sean. In the last one, how do you go about getting flare like that? So cool!

My aunt recently asked me to shoot my cousin's senior pictures. This would be a first for me...even shooting anything other than shots for my own consumption. Like I told her, it's free, so if she's...

Shooting with a T2i and 270ex flash. Want to use fill flash for outdoor shadow prevention.


In Av mode, the shutter is limited to 1/200 second. Usually this means if I want to shoot f/2.8 for...

I saw that, actually. Only problem is, it comes with the kit lens (don

As mentioned in a previous post, my XS is dead from Er99. I'm thinking given the cost of repairs, I am just going to buy a used T2i when one comes available from Adorama or B&H. Is it generally safe...

My just over 2 year-old Rebel XS has started giving me "Er 99" messages. I have cleaned the lens contacts (it happens with different lenses anyway) and tried at different apertures. The camera is...

Sean,


I do have the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 and the 50 mm f/1.4. So I have the glass, I guess I just need to learn how to use it. :)

Thanks all for the helpful advice. It just seems to me that her pictures are so much more well-defined and vibrant than mine. I will keep practicing!!

Hard to explain. Of course, I know all the basics of photography. I just seems I have trouble delivering images like this (a friend of mine)

Currently shooting with a Rebel XS. Have never been really happy with the image quality of this body, even with a nice lens (EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS). Not exactly sure why, but I have even wondered if...

Thanks for the idea...going to take a look at it. Although I think using off-camera flash could be involved for this amateur.


I should have added...what do professionals do? You always see...

I'm going to be attending a retirement party for a coworker this week. It's being held in the standard conference...

Hmm...giving this approach some more thought. Should I then import my existing RAW files into iPhoto as to include them in the library, and then delete the RAWs from my HDD, thus having ALL my shot...

This is a great idea...thanks!

Posted this in a Mac forum, but wanted some other viewpoints...





I purchased a MacBook Pro recently. I already had an extensive
collection of photos on a 1TB external hard drive. I love...

Just bought the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 for my Rebel XS. I love, love, love the image quality. However, shooting pictures in my house ("normal" lighting), I'm finding that to achieve a shutter speed of...

Why do you shoot at f/2.8 and ISO 1600 instead of shooting at f/2 and ISO 800?

Mainly to keep the DOF somewhat reasonable. The 50mm f/1.4 is sharpest down to f/2.8, as well. Maybe...

In a development that can only be described as earth-shattering, my wife basically gave me the go-ahead to buy a new lens for my Rebel XS.


That being said, I do quite a bit of indoor shooting of...

Yesterday, I was taking some pictures of my wife and two boys in our local mall. Afterwards, I turned around and took some wide-angle shots of the mall interior itself. I'm huge on historical...

I never even thought of the possibility of being a suspected arsonist. Great point. I also live near a set of heavily used railroad tracks and unfortunately from time to time, there are nasty...

I drove by a fire this morning at a local business near my house. It certainly was a scene, and it got me thinking...is it against the law for a person to take pictures of such an event? Of course,...

I shoot quite a bit of different scenes, subjects, etc. As a result, I need a comprehensive way to tag my pictures for retrieval later. What is the best way to accomplish this? I just purchased Adobe...

Took this one with my Rebel XS and 50mm f/1.4. Don't have the EXIF data handy, but looking for general...
