So I was thinking of getting the body only and buying two lenses to start off. My thoughts are on the 16-35 f/4L and the 100mm macro f/2.8L. Figured I could get away with using the 100 at track events. What would you recommend? I really want to keep the IS on both if possible. I shoot a lot of family events in small spaces, events out at COTA, landscapes, and flowers. I also want to get back into astrophotography at some point so I'm not sure the f/4 will be enough. I used the 16-35 2.8L before and it was great but so heavy and no IS.

the "kit" 24-105L lens is actually pretty legit and versatile. 24mm on a FF is pretty darn wide. I shoot with a 6D and love my 17-40L, didn't want to dish out the extra $$ for the 16-35L. If you're looking for a prime in the 100mm range, I would suggest the 135L, it's one of canon's sharpest lenses and the bokeh it produces is amazing at f/2. Otherwise I'd suggest any variation of the 70-200L based on your budget. I shoot with the 70-200 f4 non IS, which is the cheapest one and I love it! Produces amazing portraits and still shots for car shoots

Many thanks, this definitely helps with my decision!

It's tough to find time to even get photos of him. I have so many creative ideas but to execute them always requires money that I don't have lol. I'm hoping we make it out to the USGP this year so I can get some track shots. I gotta step up to your level. Height would help too lol.

Throwing the cheap nifty fifty on it to give it a spin.

Nice! Congrats Pint, glad to see you getting back into it!

Huck 04-16-2016 05:59 PM

For those of you that don't have me on facebook, I did a couple shoots with some kids the last couple weeks. It's more difficult than older people, that's for sure. Baby Jaden doesn't smile much, so that was a challenge. And Rhyia was hyperactive so she wouldn't be still or listen at all lol. I'd be like look at me! and she would take off running the other direction, mom would have to go chase her down and drag her back lol. All in all I think it turned out well. I'd like to hear what I could do differently/better as far as composition and editing goes if you have any input...

Nice, looks like that could be useful lol. For the little little baby I had my wife right over my shoulder the whole time trying to get his attention. He was super serious most of the time.

Hitting alignment shop this week to loose the -2.5 camber and should be about perfect.

Those are good specs, you should do pretty well with those. I wanted the F120s for my wife's Q but couldn't find any for sale and don't want to pay the full $5400 for just wheels. Ended up getting a set of Vossen's VPS 307s and some M7 coilovers for her instead.

I got the craigslist special. Guy mounted them To his Mercedes with adapters, obviously poked like crazy he took the. Off and they set in his garage for 4 months. I picked them up with new tires and covered in spider webs. And paid less than half price. :happydance:

Not a scratch on them

I like all of the compositions and the subject matter, but if I were to "nitpick" I can only see two very small issues:

• Picture 1) There must be a blade of grass or something else clouding your son's left eye (your right). It makes that eye look duller than the other. This may be easy enough to Photoshop out. Other than that, I love the coy smile on his face.

• Picture 4) I am not a fan of the tree in the background right between your wife and son. Although it is far enough away and out-of-focus, to me, it distracts you from the two subject's beautiful faces.

Sometimes you have to take a picture at the "spur of the moment" to capture the scene, so there may be nothing that could have been done beforehand. Still, I love any type of photography and keep up the excellent work.

I agree with everything you said. First though, these were shoots that I did for clients, not my family. I don't have kids thank God haha :)

Anyway, you're right, there was a plant stem right between us and I didn't notice it until I got back home to edit, the sun was too bright for me to see it in the camera screen. I'm not sure how to edit it out, so I convinced myself I liked it because it adds perspective *cough cough bullshít*

The tree between the mom and daughter gave me pause, I wasn't sure if I should remove it or if it was distracting or not. I'll take it out.

Thanks for the input buddy!

Trying to figure out how this guy is doing this type of picture, his name is Christopher McKenney and he's doing some really cool (albeit creepy) stuff. I'm thinking double exposure, blend in Photoshop? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...e22a74b762.jpg

Huck 04-22-2016 05:28 PM

Finished up a quick little shoot for the wife the other day, she wanted to enter a competition for a sunglasses company. Here's a few of the results, let me know what you guys think or what I can do differently.

I would assume multiple shots and layers selectively pulling through elements. Just how people do levitation shots. Take a shot of the area, then a shot of you for say planking on a stool then stack and pull through the background making the stool disappear.

ZAtlanta_OG 04-22-2016 09:23 PM

Huck what do you shoot with?

Huck 04-23-2016 06:49 PM

Nikon D750, and the kit lens (which I'm actually pretty happy with) 24-120 f/4. It's a pretty good walk around lens, the bokeh is nice (and I'm a big fan of using bokeh) and the focus is pretty good. Looking at adding a 50mm f/1.4 AF-S and a 28-300 VR later on down the road as a wedding starter package.

Sorry to thread jack but might anyone need a Lowepro bag, a JOBY flexible tripod, or a Canon 24mm pancake?

Pintsize725 04-30-2016 07:47 PM

Attempted a version of Kazman's shot for my future sister in law's wedding ring. I'm no professional obviously, and I really need a proper lens. I'm only running with the cheapo nifty fifty. This really has me thinking of getting the 100mm macro.

Id try removing the pink ribbon so you can see the heart from shadow. I like it though.

Had to use the ribbon to keep the top heavy diamond side up. I was trying to get it really snug in there to reduce the appearance but it wasn't long enough. (That's what she said.)
