My first photo shoot with EOS 1000D

[two200]

Got my 1000D last month but did not get a chance to try out. So few days ago, I took it out for a test run.

So enjoy and as usual C&C most welcome.

Comments on the first 3 shots - try using a smaller aperture to improve DOF for closeup shots (F9). Presently, only a bit of the subject is in focus and does not give the picture impact. If need be, up the ISO. The 1/10s suffers from some shake - IS does not remove shake but reduces it.

#2 & 3 are not very focus imho! sorry about it. Anyway if smaller apperture means like f9 or f4.5?

[StudioFever]

yup,pic 2 and 3 OOF. Have you tried taking far objects yet or shoot in RAW?

[two200]

Thanks for all the feedback

I think the OOF was partly due to my handshakes. The other problem is the low light hence like Russ said, the DOF is too narrow with such large aperture. Maybe should start thinking of external flash

I have also taken some night scenes and day time scenes. Currently looking over them. Some of them are taken in both RAW and jpeg. Will put up more later

Studiofever, why did you ask about RAW, did I miss something?

[two200]

Now for some night scenes. Unfortunately, I underestimated my handshake and overestimated the IS, so I can only show a few of the night shots

The next photo I just put up for those who want to see the IQ of 1000D kit lens. The composition is yuks!

Hmm, another thing you should know, and may not know, is motion blur. Sometimes, stuff looks blur in your photos because the subject is moving. IS can counter your hands moving, but cannot counter people moving in long exposures.

I especially love number 5

Thx for your comments, GavinTing

Now for some daytime photos
