Nothing wrong starting out with a rebel. If anything else. Invest in lens. A faster lens will get you really far and that bokeh oh so gravy!

Did a minishoot with a friend. Shot with 70-200. My 50 mm died. Such a good lens to have.

I know its not a Z but a picture nonetheless. Trying out different color tones on each pics.

#2 looks awesome, harsh reflections though break up the lines of the car. also, the color balance looks a little off but I can't tell if it's intentional or not...?

Nice Warat! my favorite is the first one. Both of those lenses are super sharp. I actually ended up trading in my 50mm to help pay for the 70-200.
Just a quess, but im guessing these were shot at f2.8. Try shooting at f4 with that lens! it takes away any chromatic abberations and reallly increases the sharpness / detail.

Very nice!

what lens was the chicago picture taken with kazman? might be my eyes playing tricks on me but it looks like it's pincushioning a little.

The building one? 24-105L

By pin cushioning, do you mean something like pinching in the middle?

Unfortunately I couldn't do much with the reflections and I'm not really into editing that much. With that said, yes the color balance was intentional. Was just experimenting

Thanks. Most if not all are shot at 2.8. I'm aware at 4.0 will help with sharpness. I just wanted to add more bokeh. Lol. Hence another reason why i want a 135.
