550D bros,
I just bought mine and really need your help about settings:
Setting 1: (for day photog portrait and architecture)
Setting 2: (For night photog with portrait and landscape)
I know it can be found by practice and by learning the cam , but suddenly my friend invited me for a trip this coming weekend and I'm still not so familiar with the cam.
550d, 18-135 and 50mm prime
really appreciate your help.

wow so your tripod costs $370? must be a gem. :bsmilie:
$180 for a 10kg load sounds like a good deal, i might consider getting a better tripod.
Definitely, i'm new to this forum as well!
You bought the canon 17-55 f2.8 or the tamron one?
You should ask people to PM you their contact like i do.Some people are not comfortable with leaving their contact on the thread.BTW,i think you should start a thread in Gatherings & Outings sub-forum.Too confusing already
P.S I can help you with regards to starting a new thread
Thanks for creating the thread!
Just join lor, i'm sure everyone will welcome you also!

Settings wise really depend on the lighting and place you are at. It's hard to give you an exact setting.
For night photog, recommend you bringing a tripod!
nice set of lens though i doubt u will change lens during a holiday, too troublesome.
if ur switching frm a compact to a dslr, it can be quite challenging cos usually the compact auto mode handle everything for u. if u used dslr b4 but recently changed to this model then u shld be able to pick up pretty fast. 550D is quite easy to use.
basically i usually play ard with ISO and exp (and very rarely shutter time).
most of the time i set mine to ISO 400 (juz to be safe). the 550D has a very good noise profile but there is still noise visible at ISO 800 so if u find ur environment too dark then juz bump up the ISO. if its too bright then lower it.
if u are in a room and lighting is bad then u may want to drop the exp to increase shutter speed and vice versa.
aperture depends on how much bokeh u want.
if u wanna capture shots of the moon or night sky then play with shutter speed.
i'll leave it to the pros to elaborate...
Killerslayer, hows your 55-250 IQ? thought of getting that initially. but read some reviews that it IQ isn't very good with distortions.
