Lovely pics Annie but I love this blokes face, he is so expressive. Those big googly eyes, sweet.

dismal failure I have to come up with something else.

If you have a Canon you might be able to do it with DPP that would've come with your camera.

cant wait for dark, I've set up my bokeh shot. It looks funny cause I dont have a tripod so my camera is sitting on a box which is on top of a stool. I've already focussed it, I just have to hope the whippets dont knock it in the meantime. Oh I so hope this works. It looks good in my head, whether or not it will in real life remains to be seen.

Here's a photograph archive of both. Canon http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=138395 Sigma http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=424175 You might have to go through a few pages, quite a few pics have been removed.

You guys are amazing

she has a sad wistful look about her

I've been mucking around with it in daylight too. It's a pretty effect with light glinting throught the leaves.

It's good isn't it. Cant help you Carebear but I would guess the 1.8 is similar to Canons, cheap but still takes good pics, Canons is fondly called the nifty fifty. Hopefully a Nikon person can help you out.

You're taking some great photos! I really think Canon and Nikon should be paying US for this thread. I wonder how many have bought a 50mm after seeing some of the pics here.

it only shows as a photo to me, it's a nice photo though.

Love all of these especially the first one.

Well, there's the first power play. congrats, so it's full frame from now on. I wonder if you'll see a huge difference.

You lucky girl. What were you using before that beauty?

Yesterday while in Melbourne. a Carlton street.

Looks like you've got a good camera, they're gorgeous photos.

Or if you buy the 1000D online it's much cheaper http://www.d-d-photographics.com.au/canoneos1000d.htm

How is little Miss Fishy Breath this morning. I hope she's OK.

I got mine, it's a groovy little box isn't it!

Well done!

A lens I fell in love with purely on looks, (which I know is completey stupid) is the 85mm f/1.2L I lust after this lens and have been known to just gaze at it because it's so beautiful. Here's its archive http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=224258

Here's the sample archive for the 70-200 http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=138395 and here's the macro 100mm http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=158427 but maybe you should get advice from your friends dad. I bet if you told him what you like to photograph he could advise you. You're a lucky one alright!

I think you should tell me how I can get some cheaper lenses too! I love my Macro 100mm and prices might be dropping for it soon as a newer model has just been released. It doesn't mean the old model is no good though. It's a versatile lens, doesn't have to be used for just close up stuff. the 17-55 is supposed to be a great lens, you've got that distance covered but it might be worthwhile getting and selling one of your current lenses. The one I would love is the 70-200 2.8 IS. Can you get that?

Glad to see you back, I thought you'd forsaken us. I like the mining one best.
