4 is awesome! What was the point of focus for 1? There is a lot of distracting elements to it. The person in the back, the shade/sun on the parking spot.

It's actually a walking path hence the "no bikes/skating". I guess I was trying to portray defiance with the person skating in the background.

It's [faux] cross-processed; the contrast is supposed to be high. Maybe I'll try it in b&w.

Lol, you get what you pay for. I've heard too many bad things about super cheap lenses. Especially that one.

And a Canon 28-90mm which I wouldn't exactly say is the best lens either.

o.0 Do you own...or have you owned...a Tamron?

*edit*
My SP 11-18mm Tamron sells for $530 (I found mine for $400 brand new on eBay)...and I'd say I've gotten all of (if not more) my moneys worth.

I've noticed that almost every single picture I take with the 70-300 is a bit blurry for some reason

Canon glass is much better than Tamron. Think of it as Rota vs. OEM. You're rather have better quality equipment on your car, right? Same goes for cameras.

Anyway, I've never heard anything bad about the 50mm f/1.8. It's a fantastic lens for the price. It's very sharp and the colors are better than third party lenses by a long shot.

My 50 is the greatest lens i have. It is my auto shoot lens, my portrait lens and my all around life lens.

I am looking at the same lens Shane, it is one of canon's greatest lenses.

Might I add, that the 70-300 is a macro lens? Could this have anything to do with it? It was given to me for Christmas, and I didn't think much about it being a macro lens. mainly because I never fully understood "macro" other than using it for up-close shots when I had a point and shoot. so immediately when getting that lens, i just thought it was good all around and good for up-close stuff.

The main thing I've heard about the that particular 50mm is that it is very poorly built...just meaning as in like, it breaks really easily. I mean, I may still try it regardless simply because it's cheap to get.

Anyone have experience with the one i posted a link to?

I'd highly recommend the IS version of the 70-200 f/4 L.
