tlc Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 C'mon c'mon, more pics!!!!It's been sunny and hot here most of the day but it's clouding over now so I just went out on my newly mowed lawn ( a rare occurence here) and took some pics of my handsome male models. I like it when there's no shadows. First up is Tag "get my good side mum" and my darling Puck "sigh, when's dinner" lovely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Jess and I would like to get a Canon DSLR 40D or 400D/450D. We are saving now. We just love the pics taken using the lens mentioned in this thread I love my 450d - though i would've liked to have got the 40d. I might wait a few years and then when i've had a chance to do a couple of courses, treat myself to a new camera... First though i have to get some better lenses!

tlc Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Shell, I love your signiture it is awesome!! Do you have a 50mm for your 450?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugerfly Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 You guys are doing great. It is hard at first to work out what you are actually focusing on if you are using a lower f stop number isnt it. Depends on yoru focusing system etc, I think I have 21 points or something like that. If your on auto settings, are you using spot, metering or matrix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I dont even know what spot, metering or matrix is..... I have my auto focus area set on single area, I have 3 options single area, dynamic area and auto. For my close ups I use the single area and for scenery or far away shots I use dynamic area. Your right say if you are using f 1.8 and you are shooting the dogs face you either have to focus on the eyes or the nose cause if you are close you cant get the whole face clear and in focus. It does take a bit of practice, I am itching to get another chance to use mine, been busy with work the last few days. Loving this thread but I am very critical of my pics, I just look at everyone elses and think they are so so so much better!! I guess I just have to keep practising!!

If your on auto settings, are you using spot, metering or matrix? I'll go back and put the shooting info on the photos. I am not shooting RAW yet, I really must figure it out soon. I am not in Auto though, haven't used it for months. mostly AV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iltby Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I was absolutely spoilt, I also got a 100mm macro lens I took this with it today, though didn't get time to try the 1.4. Will have to reserve tomorrow for photography- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking Mad Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 kja: I personally love your post production ... great shots! I especially love Dora's pleading eyes itlby: a macro lens too ... you lucky duck I got a 1.8 and a polarising filter (which I haven't gotten around to using yet) ... Unfortunately, I rolled and twisted my ankle a minute before Christmas dinner was being laid out, which sucks big time - I keep wanting to go out and take pics of anything and everything, but can't Anyway, here's a couple that I got with the 1.8 before my silly accident: My mum's dog Bonnie intent on her Christmas present as per usual I did take heaps more at the time but these 2 are the best ... post-production using picasa ... and it's photobucket uploaded 'cause I've forgotten my flickr password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iltby Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I am very lucky Really sorry to hear about your ankle CM, is it feeling any better now? I love the second shot, the captured expression is great I took a couple just now with my 1.4. It's great, though very hot outside so the dogs weren't very co-operative- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
