First shots with the new T2i

[Ralphie]

Ok so finally got around to playing with the new camera.....these are the first batch of shots i took that i felt were o-k enough to show.

Nothing spectacular.

Got more to learn and LOTS more to shoot....im making dinner so i can't go outside and even if i did its overcast= no bueno.

So tell me what ya think!!!

And i must say, i fucking love this camera lol.

Thanks man!!!

It took the better part of the day to get basic things that i KNEW how to do down on the camera but lord is it addicting!

When i have time and the weather is right im going to go play!

I would advise against using your "soft focus" lens. It looks bad.
Other than that, enjoy your camera!

Oh it was just a $20 lens from Lomography.com

It is supposed to be "soft".

Focusing is kind of a pain but i also just started learning how to focus anyway so I should improve.

That lens is suppose to give a lomo look.

I know i can achieve the look with my phone or just using PS, but i wanted to have another "cheap" lens to experiment with.

Just a fun lens to throw around.

My next lens will be a good Canon zoom lens with IS.....because IS is fucking amazing thing in low light.

Ok so i have taken around 300 pictures so far....still learning and getting used to certain functions.

Also since the weather here in NYC has been dog shit, i haven't had a lot of hands on time.

3 separate sessions and i only produced 300.

Well here we go.


This one has a lot of noise, but in Lightroom it shows clear as day but after exporting it it is grainy...not sure why.


Just an old school tape i have laying around.


Engine 3 heading out.


Bright sky


Liked the reflection.

Some graffiti


More clouds



In all her glory.



Best. Soda. Ever.



Well thats all for now, ill keep shooting.

You keep viewing.

Stay classy Cb7.

Here is some more recent ones-

I really like that one with the swans a lot, but perhaps it would be better as a vertical shot. The neck of the guitar is also a good shot.

Ya that's a good point, didn't even think of that.

Ya for the one with the guitar i stuck a pink sticky pad note over the flash to use as a "filter".

Pretty cool i guess.

I love the T2i! I still plan on getting myself one.
