New Camera n pic

[wkahwkah]

Weeee First of all, Thank you guys for
helping me decide on my new DSLR camera...
which is refurbish Canon 40D and 50mm f1.8 lens (for now)

Here are some pictures...

These are pretty much straight from the camera w/o photoshop
except resizing... I like how background is fading (think right
term is bokeh?)

This one.. I tried photoshop... but not sure it came out good...
my desk is really messy lol!!! blue light is from the laptop cooling
fan...

comments and recommended for PP would be appreciated

Excellent choice. All of your shots seem nice and sharp. I would like to wish you happy shooting and say welcome to Club Canon!

thanks!

I can't wait to get 4L or 2.8L lens!!!

hopefully on Jan or Feb

Well there are many f/4L and f/2.8L lenses. Unlike the 50 f/1.8, the L's are by nature very expensive. The lens you have will aid as a learning tool. Choose your future purchases wisely.

For sure, I was pointed into going the 24-105 4L. Nice lens.

Good shots.

I was thinking 17-40mm F4L for walk around lens... since on crop

censor.. it is really something like 25-55mm...

as its price is on friendly side lol.... and later possibly 24-70mm f2.8L

(maybe worth to save few hundreds bucks for this lens?)

and lastly... 70-200mm either f4/2.8L some roads down there

I have the 24-70 f/2.8 and the 70-200 f/2.8 IS, and am in love with them both. I thought long and hard between the 24-70 and the 24-105 but in the end decided the 24-70 was just a better lens.

good to hear!

I guess I should start saving now

 

[TitusvileSurfer]

Save for a long time. Really soak this stuff up. Your 50mm f/1.8 should get you by for now.Do experiments i.e. don't use anything below f/4 so you know what kind of shutter speeds you can get away with. Little things like that will help your decision.

Nice, I just receive my 40D several days ago but I don't have the time to play with it yet. when I do, I'll be asking many questions too.

enjoy your new camera
