Once in a lifetime shot.[/QUOTE]
I didnt know you were in FL the same time I was…
I was sooooo pissed that I was literally one minute late to my room. This is all I could get from my 20th story balcony. Bummer.
Man, I havent been here in a while. Guess I have to post some new stuff. 
On a side note, I got my first photo gig coming up. Almost $1000 for about 7 hrs of work. Im nervous as shit, but stoked about the money.
drinking a caramel frap @ starbucks alone lol. i know im a loser:tsk:
tribb, how do u like the tamron 70-300? i got it with my xti yesterday, havent had much time to mess around with it. also of course have the kit 18-55. looking into the 50mm 1.8
These were taken last fall I believe on a road trip. They’re kinda old. Not much experience here. I DO have some good film ones, but I’ve got a crappy scanner.Bear with me, they were taken with a camera phone. a relatively good camera phone, BUT, camera phone nontheless. last one I’snt mine, but it holds true.
Don’t bother looking into it… just get it… it’s so cheap and so worth it…
i 2nd that, its first lense i ever bought(besides the kit lense that came with my camera, but i use it more than the kit lense) an ive never regretted it. its helped me a lot on working on my composition. only time ill ever sell it is if i run into a deal for a 1.4 thats too hard to pass up.
Are we talking about the 50mm f1.8 II EF?
If so then I might just pick one up this month (cause of all the good things you guys are saying).
i was talking about the 50 1.8D for nikon’s but a fifties a fifty
get the zeiss fd planar 50mm… GIjoe with the Kung Fu Grip
I’ll also vouch for the Canon 50 1.8 mkII. If you want examples, check out Dustin’s thread for pictures I took with one.
I have Nikon’s 50mm f1.8D My best lens by far, and DIRT cheap. D, I have a Tamron 70-300 for my Nikon and its good. I will upgrade to the Nikon VR soon, but good for the price and quality. Only bad things are that focus is loud and slow.

Yes… go get it… you won’t be disappointed…
I have all three of those same lenses you have/thinking about. The kit lens is the worst as to be expected.
The tamron is a nice lens for the cost, great for it’s want to be macro as well so you can start to play with macro photos. Colors seem to come out well, nice and light so easy to carry around. All around I’m happy with it.
Definitely get the 50mm, you wont regret it, especially for ~70 bucks.
I just remembered that I’ve already decided what I was gonna get. After you told me about the Sigma 17-70 I did some looking around and it seems to be the perfect lens for me. So instead of dumping that money on the 50 I’ll just save it and get the Sigma.
:werd: That’s an awesome lens for sure.
i will be someone’s bitch for a week if they get me a 24-70 f2.8L
yeah same here :giggle:
I just bought the 70-200 f4 L and I love it.
I do have the Sigma 24-70 2.8 Sigma, its fair

Did you use a soft box and did you do any post processing?
