My girlfriend:
Canon 7D | 28-135mm f/5.6 | 1/40 sec | ISO 1600 Scarlett: Canon 7D | 28-135mm f/5.6 | 1/8 sec | ISO 3200 Just messing around with a few shots around the house, with the camera set on CA (Creative Auto, or "Green Square Plus") to see how it behaves. This camera is light years ahead of my 2003 10D in how quickly it focuses and how well it meters the light of a scene. I guess they've programmed the auto modes with the assumption that the person aiming the camera can't hold it still, ratcheting up the ISO to achieve a faster shutter speed. This results in a fair bit of noise. Nothing that can't be edited out, but I'd rather it wasn't there in the first place. Time to dive into the manual and start using my camera for real. Here's another beer from the old camera: Canon 10D | 50mm f/2.8 | 1/125 sec | ISO 400

Last night I ordered up a Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX lens and also a Nikkor 35mm 1.8G AF-S DX. Got a wireless remote as well. I was about to blow $200 something on a Manfrotto tripod and realized I need lenses more than a tripod. Gonna be ordering a tripod soon though. My camera bag will now consist of the two lenses mentioned above as well as my Nikkor 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 ED VR AF-s DX and my Ronikon 8mm f3.5 fisheye.

I was so up in the air about choosing either a 35mm or a 50mm, both f1.8. I ordered the 50mm and cancelled it like 5 min later cause I feared it may be a little much for shooting indoors. Do you ever feel that way??

that's not to say that you can't get close with the 50mm. If you go back and look at the photos I've been posting here, most of them were done with the 50mm mounted on my old 10D. If I could carry only the lens mounted on my camera, the 50mm would be the one I would choose 9 times out of 10 for the subject matter I shoot (models and beer?). This shot of Max was taken from about 26" away. I could stand to stop it down a bit as his whiskers go out of focus as they curve towards or away from the camera, but I'm kind of digging the softness these low f-stops are giving me. Plus, a higher stop would mean either a slower shutter speed or higher ISO or both, or adding artificial light. Canon 7D | 50mm f/2.5 | 0.3 sec | ISO 500
