akshayxyz Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 BEAT THIS !!!!! Honestly, it looks pretty (sub)ordinary to me. Here is what I clicked with 1.3 mega pixel, phone camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnterTheVoid Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ^ Don't like the sunset? I really like the picture because of the sunset. Don't care too much for the camera settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akshayxyz Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ^.. sunset is always good to look/capture at, but from photography perspective .. that is an ordinary photo :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Some very sharp awesome pics rett :top: also can you please suggest a good wide angle lens for my Canon Rebel T1i, stock lens is 18mm - 55mm, I want to buy a lens 10mm - 22mm ...which brand is better...Sigma or Tamron ? Thanks On a Canon crop dslr (1.6 crop factor) 10-22mm = 16-35mm on full frame (min hand held speed w/o image stabilization = 1/35) 18-55mm = 29-88 mm on FF I would suggest getting a fixed aperture lens. Fixed aperture would be something like F2.8 / F4 vs F3.5-F5.6, F4-F5.6, etc .... a constant aperture of say F2.8 would give you that aperture throughout the focal ranges whether at wide or tele end, while a variable would be say F4 at wide and F5.6 at tele end Sigma has a 10-22 F3.5 fixed aperture lens 10-22 F3.5, which should be good .... but it does not have image stabilization so for shutter speeds below 1/30 for a second, you will need a tripod There is this 11-16 lens from Tokina, which is even faster at F2.8 and very highly rated and probably the one to get Tokina F2.8 11-16 at B&H Tokina 11-16 F2.8 at Adorama Appears as if the Tokina is in such demand that it is out of stock! PS if you use filters on your lenses, use the "multi coated" ones from Hoya, B+W, Heliopan, etc. if you get a cheap filter and put it in front of a nice lens then it could degrade iamge quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuge Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 thanks rett .. awesome stuff you have got :D ..Im wating for D800 ,so that I can buy D700 for a good price :) and thanks for the link :) forgot to post this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yep, Full frame is the way to go .... If you don't mind shooting 35 mm film then you can get something like an used F100 for less than $300 though, a f5 or F6 too for a fraction of cost of d700, which is currently listed at $2700+tax on b&h .... D800 will probably be priced around $3000 If you don't have lenses for Full Frame, you may need to invest in them too .... May be it's not a bad idea to start out with film (you can scan it to digital) and get a lens like Carl Zeiss 21 mm for the type of photography you do. It is listed at $1850+ tax. (or the 28 mm, which i got, listed at around $1300+tax). You could even get one of the TS-E lenses if you plan to shoot architecture .... Even the 24-70 mm f2.8 from nikon ( listed at $1700+tax) is pretty good PS did you step into water to take that shot :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuge Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 rett ,I don't think I will venture into film(used it long back when dad had canon T70 ) .at present I'm saving up for D700 .yes ,I have lenses that will work with full frame just fine .like 50mm ,24-85mm and 70-300mm .I know my present UWA [10-24mm]can't be used with FF ,but I will keep my d90 as a second body .So till the time I get UWA like 16-35mm for FF .I will be using that lens with D90. Nope , kept the camera on the stone slab :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think I'll go for http://www.adorama.com/TN1116EOS.html ....thanks It is not in stock though .... and the Tiffen filter you get with the package is probably not good. Appears as if it is not even multi-coated so you could get a lot of flare Since this is UWA lens, you might need a slim filter otherwise the lens could vignette. Try a multi-coated one from B+W, Heliopan or Hoya, if you need a filter 77mm filters .... I think the Tokina takes 77mm filters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
