Thanks for the tips, every little bit is helpful. I just spent the whole morning reading and re-reading this whole forum http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=417604 alot of great tips for taking automotive shots! Im going to purchase a mini tripod or a desk tripod so I can get some low shots, hopefully theyre alright!

50mm hotness... on the 40D with 580EXII


don't mind the dust and lint... they were on the phone not the lens or camera

MMmmmmm 50mm goodness, gotta love that shallow depth of field.

[nghtrydr23]

hell yea, im actually thinking of doing a photo blog/thread with the 50mm. something like photo a day or something

[Tnwagn]

For sure! That's a great way to "force" yourself to get used to the lens and branch out.

I <3 my 50mm. Awesome shots man.

[d112crzy]

Yeah. I need to work on my editing I think. And those are all taken from the lowest my tripod will go. However, I do understand what you're saying.

I had this shot as well:


I prefer the others though.

That one is my fav of your last set. Is that still using your stock kit lens? That thing is way sharper than Canon Rebels kit lens, I've noticed. I was playing with a friends D60 the other day and actually liked it. A lot. I think I might be getting converted.

a big part of that may have been the screen, the nikon screen setup is worlds beyond canon, and kit lenses of both companies vary a bit due to the inexpensive way they are made..... not to say it wasnt sharper but usually when people shoot with a nikon the screen throws them off

Blah this thread makes me want to set my point and shoot on fire lol.

Well I wasnt able to do the photoshoot, I had to travel out of town and I didnt make it back in time, plus there isnt any good places around here to take night shots nor do I have a flash that makes a night photoshoot worth it! On the positive side I picked up 2 mini tripods to get some extreme low angles, so next time I know Im gonna get some pretty cool shots.
