I would LOVE to have a full frame dslr!

Great shots! Thanks for posting them.

lopro · 11-11-2009, 08:48 PM

great shots.... I really like that "dark" look, namerfrats

I recently got a 40d that I need to learn how to use more... I have a crappy lens (18-55 Canon kit lens)

I haven't tried any stogie shots yet... I'll give this a whirl. Then come here for some advice, bc it seems like you guys know what's up, for sure.

(PS - The Dark Tower is my FAVORITE series

Good shots MedicCook. I would recommend trying to get the cigar more in focus, and blur the back ground to bring the cigar out even more. Using a high aperture to create the desired affect.

yep on a sunny day like that, bring your f-stop as low as your lens will allow, make sure the ISO is 100 or so, and adjust shutter speed accordingly.

And making sure the camera focuses on the cigar, should give you a good amount of bokeh.

Mine aren't quite as good as most of the ones in this thread, but I think they came out OK. I don't have a great camera (Canon Powershot G6) for this kind of shooting. It's not an SLR.

DBall · 11-12-2009, 09:13 AM

A friend let me borrow her Canon Rebel XS that's a 10.1MP DSLR. This is the first time I've gotten to play with a "real" camera and this morning I took a TON of pictures with it. I'll be putting them up here soon.

I've always loved photography and did pretty well with my point and shoot, but this is a whole different world (and I have TONS to learn). I may get one of these... I really dig it.
