A nice set of shots, great for a first attempt, just looking at the 6th photo and have noticed the fighters are ungloved, why was that?

I must admit the reason I ask is becuase I shoot the way that daugirdas mentions, I scroll through my focus points till i get the one that falls nearest to the part of subject I want to focus on and then take the shot. Hence asking if more points are better in peoples experience, but hey I may...

Thanks for the feedback guys - I didn't mean to open a can of worms but the discussion has given me food for thought. Comparing the 5dii and the 1DS ii the latter has a greater range of focus points. Would the availability of more focus points be a help or a hindrance for shooting people and...

Thanks for the Feedback studio work, just the sort of dialogue im looking for. I never thought about trying cuddling poses - so that's something to try, and also great advice about trying it out and being the judge of your own efforts Its so simple but as im quite new to this I always forget...

I don't need the 10fps but I have been made aware of the improvement of the mkiii for handling higher ISO. Another thing that i'm keen to know from mkII owners is how do you find it not having live view?

I thought about a grip, but it doesn't work for me because it fails to improve the layout of the buttons or the size horizontally of the camera. The battery grip just makes it deeper so to speak.

I'm interested to know what you would do given this situation. I currently have a 500d and love it to bits - especially the ability to shoot video in HD HOWEVER! The thing is just so damn small.... I'm a tradesman and have clunky chunky hands, having held a 1d body it just feels so...

shot with a 500d and nifty 50mm f1.8 - Think my settings were f2.8 - 1/350 - ISO 100 Couldn't find my lens hood for the 50mm do you think it have would helped at all?

Hi Dave thanks very much for that post - I was struggling to remember how to do that - even with the BBcode copy i still seem to get a hyperlink below the image! any ideas as to why? Ignore second bit - Think I have worked out why

Thanks for the encouragement Spooky, yes it was a conscious decision to position us with a strong back light as I had seen some fashion photography shot like this and wanted to try a simillar shot. I also thought it brings an emphasis to the colour of my Fiance's hair.
