Been into photography for a while but just this past year or two started taking it seriously.

I still prefer FILM over digital. I could talk bout Film and name some film brands and u'd guys would be confused and going into ur manuals trying to figure out what setting that is and how to get it. ha ha

 

I plan on getting a 5d and use the 50d as a back up,

however if budget constraints are in play, which most of the time it is, the t1 was a very worthy contender for back up. Its essentially 50d light with video recording.

however if its just for a back up camera and you're going to go full frame anyway, why not an xsi or 30d?

unless you need the 720p video recording. I know the t1 has 1080p but the frame rate is so bad its unusable.

 

 

VGA Screen Digic4 15mp I just want new ____. Why do you need a back up? what do you shoot?

 

more pics?

 

Event photography i.e. weddings and stage shows.. some times on location portrait photos and headshots.

I need a back up camera to cut down time on lens changes and if one fails during an event im photographing.

but Id want a 5d markii simply for the full frame, wide angles and superb high ISO performance.

but before that I actually need to get more remote flashes. So an XSI wouldn't be out of the equation if a back up was required when push came to shove.

for the price of the t1 is asking, not sure if Id want to spend that much for a back camera.
but it is a good value, like I mentioned earlier its essentially a 50d light.

 

Wow your so camera savvy must be a pro.

 

so, not be selfish but can i ge some feedback on those two photos. they were shot at midday so fail, but otherwise...?

 

haha not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but no im not a pro.

the day it starts paying the bills then I'll be pro, but as of now, hardly even.

Ive been fortunate enough to be around a lot of people in the field and learned a lot from that.

 

Just got these yesterday..




my first shot with it, i love how fast it is and sharp too

 

NY, get a circular polarizer and it will help with the water shots and help enhance color and all.

Flower shot is really busy. Duck has a lot of dead space. Just my opinion tho, I can't really give u a critique considering I am still learning myself.


Ace, I HATE u. ha ha I want the 17-40 big time. But i've got enough Wide angle lenses really. Need to scoop up a 70-200 or a 100-400.

 

you don't need more wide angle lenses elijah

 

why not have 2 50Ds? i agree that the T1 would be a good back up. from the specs it looks like a 50D with a XSi body. its lighter so it might not be that bad to carry around..

or be super cheap like me and use a XT. yes i stole it back from my brother. i need a camera with the 50. i like bokeh

 

CPL it is. also, would a hood help too?

 

I dono i just like new gadgets n stuff and yes t1 body a much smaller and lighter. i kinda wanted a smaller cam anyways so i can take it out more and maybe use its like a point and shoot.

 

A few from last weekend.













And one totally unrelated...

 

Don, i know, thats why i said 70-200 or 100-400.

GoingCrazy, i'd like to see the DOF more on the bugs eyes than his back. And that F-15 is just pure SEX!!!!!

 

Unfortunately since those shots were taken at 11:00 at night when the bugs around here are pretty dormant, it was quite hard to get accurate focus (was using a 100mm with kenko tubes), but also, on the top pic of the crazy looking mosquito, the DOF actually just about covers his entire body, just that the lenses on the eyes were so much smaller than the size of the thing that you can't see them when the pic is scaled down to 1024px. I'll admit, the DOF is off a bit on the second though, but it was acceptable.

Thanks for the comments! Also, anyone selling an MP-E by chance?

 

there is one on Craigslist for sale for like SUPER cheap. 65mm too. I want one just to practice with. If u have a 50mm turn it around and put the front of it on the front of the 100mm. Set them both to infinity and then u got a SUPER close macro. ha ha

 

How much is it going for and if you PM me a link to it, that'd be awesome, if not that's fine too, it'll just make me more broke. I'll try to haggle with the guy.

As for the reverse 50 on a 100mm, I truly hate that setup. You literally have to be mere centimeters away from anything in order to focus on it. PLUS, the 100+ tubes is just about equal to the magnification of the reverse 50 + 100mm. With the 100mm + tubes, you can be over a foot away at max focus, and even at minimum focus you're still like 8 inches away.
