did he mean 50mm fixed lens? Loving mine also. However the canon 55-250 i picked up today is great also! ill keep the 50mm around for awhile as niether of them were very expensive.

I think he did. I got distracted (saw something shiney) and forgot what the hell we were talking about. It was because I was looking at some of my old D50 stuff. Sorry guys! I will catch up!

oh, thanks! I actually have a 7D. I just got it 2 months ago and its my first DSLR so I'm still in a learning curve. I was actually looking at the d7000 at first but it was too much of a pain to relearn nikon controls(more like im lazy) since i had a canon s3is and the UI was somewhat similar. That and my friend has lenses she lets me borrow. im not partial to one brand tho

nifty 50 is camera forum slang for the 50mm 1.8 if you were wondering what he was saying haha

Jay, I went from a Canon F-1 35 mm to the 7D ( I purchased in June). The F-1 was top of the line and now it seems like a toy. The 7D's learning curve both humbles and humiliates. I am getting better though -- not shooting in P or Auto all the time.

Spec Jay · 08-01-2011, 09:03 PM

redzed: looks like your on the right track. maybe a polarizer and tad more exposure?

Spec Jay · 08-01-2011, 09:06 PM

Ive never shot in auto(unless to see what it would produce in some pictures for ***** n giggles lol)
Ive gotta say going to some kind of convention and shooting full manual does wonders for learning settings in oddball lighting situations.

Absolutely! It will also help you realize/understand how much your eyes compensate for changing light conditions with your knowing.

Nick911sc · 08-01-2011, 09:11 PM

Great shots jay, I too am a lover of anime but I've never been to any of the conventions

From the moment I bought my DSLR I never shot in any mode but manual. At first all my shots were garbage, but it really helped me learn the camera properly.
