Yeah I realized I meant the 1ds mkIII

Originally posted by malek delobbo: sure the 50D is "expensive" now, but it isn't out yet, the D90 has been on the market for a little while, so the price will drop really fast after launch. Watch out for black friday, price could be very intresting! I'm eagerly waiting for the Beast v2.0 aka 5D MK2

teh D90 came out last week!

it's not "cheating" man, post-processing is a regular part of working with digital pictures.

Originally posted by gehzumteufel 2 of my friends LOVE the 24-70 L series lens for an all around walk around lens as long as no long long zoom.

the best walk-around lens imo is the 24-105, which I sold to get the 24-70. Something I regret. It's much lighter than the 24-70 and it has IS, which had been SO helpful to me. Sure the 70 is 2.8, but this was before I got the 50mm 1.4 which takes care of my fast needs... the 24-70 is a brick. A nice brick, though.

Originally posted by annar Wow, somebody that does HDR right. Kudos. You could've achieved most results with say a 16-35L in the panoramic pictures.

thanks, when I started doing the panoramas I had considered that myself, why not just use a fish-eye or ultra-wide lens, and get the same effect? And, I arrived at the answer. And, it is megapixels and print size. Some of my panoramas go as big as 80-90MP full-size. The full image, with the same detail and definition as a single shot. That is so appealing to me.

wow dude where did you get that from.. when I got mine the body was 3299. 24-105 and 24-70 are around 1200, battery grip is 300 or so, flash 300.. it kind of adds up but not to 8k. Think you were probably talking about the 1DsMkIII..

the reasons why i got the 24-70 is because its much faster and usable in clubs, at F4 at 24-105 its too slow.

yeah that was my reason for switch to the 24-70 from the 24-105, as well. but, I do not feel the difference to be worth the weight and lack of IS. If I could do it over again I would have kept the 24-105 and bought the 50mm 1.4. Now that is a fast lens and soooo fun to use in the clubs.

I rented a 50mm 1.4 for an event a week ago, and it was not that easy to work with, especially with two flashes... I'm sure I could get better results with more practice.

you want to use very minimal bounce flash (low-power) or no flash at all, to get the best result from the 1.4. here are some of mine if you wanna take a look:

also the DOF is tricky, it takes some getting used to for sure.

Are you 'Wala' on another forum?

Beautiful pictures. I especially I like the night shots overlooking the city.

Great pics...MUCH MUCH better than the rubbish posted by some other so-called "photographers" on TA

the D90 was "officially announced" by Nikon on 08/26/2008. It started becoming readily available for purchase (and into the hands of grubby consumers) last week.

nice job rubin. your pictures are always amazing.

I love night shots. They are so dramatic and usually quite contrasting.
