yeah that's what i need to learn is processing techniques.

 

you and me both

hey what do you yall know about the tamaron 17-50 2.8?

 

Canon lenses on canon bodies FTW!!!!!!

 

i am just wondering

 

i won't buy anything but Canon. Other lenses are cheaper for a reason. With gear u always get what u pay for.

 

that i know, but, besides that, has anyone else used it or know people that have?

 

no they don't cause it's tamron and tamron is the only company that takes food stamps for their gear. ha ha

 

on pbase there is a feature where u can look at images taken by a specific lens.

find the lens on this link and then u can see what it can do.....

after reading on POTN, i have come to the conclusion that the difference btw the 17-50 and the 17-55IS is the IS and the USM as well as the better DOF at 2.8 and much faster AF for the Canon. I of course do nothing that needs the better features like wedding and or portraits or low light shoots. so saving myself almost 700 is a plus that the Tamaron has. The reason i am asking this is that i want to upgrade my mid range lens. The 18-55 isnt cutting it for me.

 

There are so many things wrong with this pic that it's absolutely retarded. But, for a pic I took at random, freehanded, when it was pretty much pitch black...I thought it looked pretty cool.

Sorry for the bad quality as I've simply copied the location from my FaceBook page.

 

Quick question guys, I'm getting ready to get a DSLR camera very very soon and I've looked into a few options. Price is not really an issue, but it's my first DSLR.

I've looked at getting either the Canon T1I or the Nikon d5000 (Leaning towards Canon on this comparison).

Or the next would be the Canon 50d vs Nikon d90 (no favorite here, have video option though on the Nikon is good)

What does everyone think I should get for my first dslr? I also compared the Canon T1I vs the Nikon D90 but it appears this is unfair and the Nikon wins. Any opinions on what I should get / consider / opinions. I want to make a good choice and get an all around good dslr.

 

Here's one from when I went to the Abo' Indian ruins...

 

forget the D5000. find a used D40 to learn with. you can get them for like $300. will take just as nice of photos. i know you say price doesn't matter but i would still get the D40 to start with. unless you want canon... i don't like canon personally so i have zero experience with them except i don't like how they feel in your hand compared to the Nikons.

 

Nice photo Jon.

 

Jon, nice photo

 

That has probably been my only con about canon, for some reason it doesn't feel as comfortable as the Nikon's during my testing...I may pick up a Nikon but I'm not sure yet.

 

gas station in the sky...

 

thanks

 

This one's from my camera but my friend has much better shots but I don't know when I'll get em.
