I'm in love ... with my 30D

[maxlam]

Such a beautiful and obedient piece of gem. The colours come out lovely and is so fast ?!! I presently only have a 50mm f1.4 prime coz I take portraits most of the time. Any recommendations on how I may move on with this gem ?

Congrats on your 30D and 50mm f/1.4, an excellent pairing.

As to your next move, I suggest you continue shooting, all sorts of subjects and settings.

Over time, you will understand yourself what are the focal lengths you need. And that's when you know where/what to move on with.

Shucks ... shrink to 30% still unable to upload in CS Gallery -> exceeded limit. Want to show you a shot (not by me) using my new camera

For web usage, its best to save for web if you are using ps. Saves a lot of space.

Sorry for the newbie question, with such tight size limitations from CS, how did so many of the "old birds" around put up their pics in the gallery ?

[jasongcp]

try uploading your photo to online photoalbum like for me... I used photobucket... FOC.. then it will give you a tag... something like [IMG].....................[/IMG] copy that paste on your post.. and VOILA you should get your nice pretty photo in enjoy

I love mine too, even when it's not used for taking photographs...

Oh ... the kit lense cannot make it at Shutterspeeds 1/13 even at ISO1600 ~ underexposed and blurr (simply too slow ?) ?!!! Thank God I stuck with my 50mm prime. Forgot to clarify: I dun have a flash lah ...

It depends on your lighting conditions.

I have to agree with you... I got the exact same setup as you... 30D with 50mm F1.4... Beautiful Pics!!!

Just started.... so playing around with the settings... Will upload some newbie pics when I'm back from OZ....

Seriously thinking of getting a Tamron AF 17-50mm f/2.8 SP XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] to compliment my 50mm prime. Without a flash, I realise that I either get blur or under-exposed pics at f4 (maximum already) via the kit lense. Anyone has any idea how much it would cost (*ouch* bleed some more)

[xtn32]

last i checked, the tamron 17-50mm 2.8 is about slightly over 600 bucks @ alan foto

[maxlam]

Thanks for info !

[djork]

enjoy, it's a very good camera!

I want to get the 50mm f/1.4 for my 30D,
I've already got the 50mm f/1.8. I probably don't need the 50 f/1.4 but I just feel like buying something... ahh damn gas

Go for it if you use this lens often, bro. Won't regret it.
