Nice shots Funky. I like the contrast in the first one and that first girl is really cute!

What was your lighting setup?

the 2 girls...

softbox as main light
grid and a speedlite behind as rim
umbrella on the wall

Cool. What do you think it would've looked like with a flash to fill him in?

on camera? you would have seen tons of scatter from the snow. I think the main problem is that it's underexposed.

Not my best, but considering the conditions (10 degrees, near blizzard, with goggles on) I say it came out pretty well lol

Just a friend on a awesome 6 foot drop in to a black diamond (super fun)

hope you don't mind, I just had a little go at processing your image:

way underexposed, by a good 1 1/2 - 2 stops

shoot + 1 2/3 EV and in RAW then you can make adjustments as needed without distorting the image

Long ago my father gave me these old model military toys. It came with instructions. Thought I'd photograph some and share.

cool shot! if you're just an amateur, I'd lose the watermark though.

I have a 50d on the way and I'm pretty excited!

10:1 that last pic was shot with tht 50 1.8.... lol

I've basically got the same setup in canon as well, minus the tele lens, which I need.

ok yall, i have a question.
When i take pictures, there is a black spot in the pictures. I actually have to photoshop the spots out of my pictures. Its not my Lenses, ive made sure. So im guessing its actually in the camera does anyone know how to clean it or fix it, whatever i have to do?!

Its either dust on the sensor or its dust inside the actual lens.

I actually have dust in my lens so its pretty much impossible to get away from that.

Some camera shops offer a image sensor cleaning service. I got mine done for $35 and it took 4 days. I highly discourage you from trying to do it yourself!!

Ex:

I can't see the picture you just posted, but I'm guessing it's sensor dust. I saw it in a different one you posted. You can send it in for a cleaning, take it to a shop for a cleaning, or buy a cleaning kit online and do it yourself.

btw, why did you pick the 2.8 over the 4?

at f/4, the 4 is actually sharper, strangely. I'm thinking I might go with the 4, but I'm interested to see how you like the 2.8.

 

[MSP626]

Thanks guys, its a real annoyance and i can't stand it.
I'm gonna see if there in a place in this little bitty town i live in that offers that Trust me, i actually would not try to clean it myself. Knowing me if i tried, i would totally screw it up

 

[Wagonbacker9]

you have established that you have dust spots in the same spot with multiple lenses, right? ik its obvious, but i'm just gonna throw it out there to make sure.
