YAAAAAY!!!!! you got him Great shot and well done
He is adorable!.... lovely processing too Toni
What a cutie - a bit more space for him to look into would have been good - but I know it's not easy. Don't take direction well at that age
That is cracking agree a little more space on the left of frame would really help but still good
That's a gorgeous shot! Love the processing too, it has an ageless feel. To add another train of thought, rather then keeping space on the left I think a square crop would really suit that photo.
More of these please!
Thanks guys! With a hideously quick on his feet 14 month old and a terribly slow, on its last legs lens... it's about as good as it's going to get haha!
Now I know this isn't 365... but it's a lot more comfy in here than it is out in the big wide forum!
I'm hoping to buy a 5D next month... with the left over money, I can afford to buy *a* lens. If nothing hideous happens to our money for a while, I should be able to get all of the ones I'm looking at within a few months. They're nothing terribly expensive or fancy but they're ones I like the look of... I shoot 99% prime and have had the Canon 50mm 1.8 on my camera for well over a year (almost) exclusive. "Almost" exclusively because I hired a 17-55mm 2.8 lens for 2 weeks over the holidays. Liked it for photos of the kids but still prefer my primes. I will, of course, want something like this eventually but want to get my basic primes first... I don't even know what the full frame alternative to this lens is. Anyway. I'm rambling.
I've only ever had the 50mm 1.8 on a crop sensor. So not only do I not have a clue what this would be like on the full frame camera, I don't know if I'd need
all of the primes I'm looking at. You know what would be *extremely* helpful? If there was a photo somewhere of a set up. Say, the photographed object at one end and the photographer at the other end so you can see where both object and photographer are when the photos are being taken. Then example photos of the same thing from the same place of all the different lenses... asking too much?
I'm looking at:
35mm f2 £189 (will eventually upgrade)
50mm 1.4 £269
85mm 1.8 £279 (will eventually upgrade)
And now Practical Photography has me lusting over the 40mm pancake...
I don't have a clue what to do. I can afford the 5D and 35mm f2 next month, the 50mm 1.4 in March and the 85mm in April.
But that 40mm pancake is pretty... But I don't know if I'll need all of those!? :bonk:
Will the 85mm on the 5D be close to what 50mm is on my 500D? I don't have a clue. This is where that handy website I don't think exists would come in handy!
