kylejack Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Great pics! I want to get a Rebel, maybe T1i. What lens are you using, the default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARK Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 good god I wish I had the money for that. I found an old 8mp xt. the lens is the older ef 70-210 should be about 20 yrs old now. but it has a constant 4 ap and the optics are good. Hoya warming filter. The lens was 150 bucks. Other shots have the 35-80 kit lensif you got the money for that though, get a full size body with 2 dials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Great pictures. If you have a Flickr account, you should add them to the HAIF pool there. We have over 100 photographers now and thousands of great shots of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've see it. There is one brand that makes some nice looking cameras... not sure about the specs but they sure do look nice... high end I think.

kylejack Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I think my favorite monument in town is that cancer one where two old people are trudging toward a gateway looking thing, and on the other side two young happy healthy twenty somethings are emerging.

BARK Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 oh yeah. I always shoot the fountain and forget about the people. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laanba Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The XT was my main camera for a long time. It's a good camera. As for ISO I used 200-400 for the regular day shots. 800 for night. I think 1600 is the top on that one right? I know people used it, but I never did because of the noise factor. Your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARK Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah you're dead on. One factor that I used to decide on the rebel xt was the high ISO ability. I always heard the quickness of lens was key. I thought high ISO was ok, but now I know about sensors better. I try to keep the thing at 100 all the time. 200 is ok, but I'm scared to use 400. Is that really ok for bright days, what about cloudy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really ok for bright days, what about cloudy?Don't be afraid of 400. I probably used that one the most. I wouldn't even really be afraid of 800. As for the lens, that is definitely true. My most used lens is my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
