dem beats

I just had my first grown man, in person, customer service issue. Manager of the store came really close to swinging at me I feel.

Ok that's fair. I was trying to think posed portrait. If just letting them play then yeah. 200 is a good starting point. Lol

Seth, those pictures are perfect. What would you like to change about them? Show us some pictures you would like to make. The close up stuff will require a macro lens. The 50mm is a bad choice for that.

Focus can also be a problem. Half of the reason the Canon 70-200 ISii 2.8 is the focus speed is amazing. It's incredible. I can go from one end of the spectrum to the other and get a couple shots faster than some can even get focus. The part about an eye on focus and the nose is out of focus is real. But DOF isn't static. Zoom changes how DOF works too. An 11mm has a wider DOF at the same aperature at 200mm.

Shooting kids means 1/60 of a second is the slowest you can shoot. You need more light so you can keep the ISO lower and the shutter speed as high as possible. It also makes a dreamy bokeh. Separation of subject and background is awesome.

The 24-70 stays on my t4I second camera most of the time. When I bring both. It's great with a FF for shooting in people's space when you can't get back. I actually got a tamron instead of the Canon. At the time the game in has VR and no one else did.

"sometimes you want to scream your head off and a coaster is the only place people won't look at you funny" I love that show. If you haven't started watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, boy are you in for a treat.

Costco has the 3300 New with a ton of free shit for $499. Maybe sell both kit lenses for $50 and then get some dope lenses. Shit the deal on the 70D Canon and Nikon D7200 is good Photokina must be around the corner... Lol

I tried drugs and alcohol. That works too well.

My stress level.... Anyone have tips for managing stress that don't include food, working out, or sex?

Yeah. I need to change my work ethic.

My Sunday and I'm heading into work. :-(

looks like a hoot!

Only 3 hours of sleep? Pappa bear needs to nap some more.

I shoot magazine covered shots even with a crop with my 6D. It's full frame and has the lowest EV focus you could get at the time without going Sony etc etc.

Yup

I would seek wider aperatures.

All I drink when I go out is vodka soda and a lime. Nice woman taught me that. Lowest kcal that still gets you ripped. She was a special woman.....

I want to be so rich that someday I stay rich by telling other people how I got rich. ;-)

I don't know how!

My fitbit says I have 3000 kcal left in my budget for tonight. I'm going to celebrate.

Seriously. Mirrorless. The woman at the shop pulled out her portfolio of printed work and I saw some incredible shots. Some blown up 10x10 or so, that Olympus is BA.

It won't be 2 grand when you are ready to buy it. Either way, I just ran to a shop and held all of them. Nikon is the way to go for low and DSLR. It's better for your needs. Especially if you are shooting landscapes. However what you should buy is the Olympus mirrorless system. It's nonsense. The optics are good and the images are razorpblade sharp. I'll get the model number for ya a bit later. It destroys anything close in price. Destroys...... Unless you Will look at Sony. But even then the Sony is not as good. If you care about nonsense sharp images that will be easy to get and features, size, cost, then this is it buddy. They are an optics company really their glass is good and a converter will let you use other brands.

Pros literally left Nikon just for the 70-200 isii. Dont think I'm that picky. Having purchased into a system now, but I also don't rely on photos for my main income.

Also, take pictures of titties. That is instant better pictures!
