Appreciate the smart a** comments. But I figured out what the problem was. I just purchased a 24" Asus monitor which had great reviews...apparently they weren't for processing photos. When I drag the photos over onto my macbook they look just fine, but on the Asus they look like crapola. Guess I...

I shot these today (luckily I wasn't the main photographer). The gradients are all posterized and weird looking. I shot them with a 5DMKII with a 85mm 1.8 in RAW @ 200ISO. Any ideas what is going on here?

I am looking to get my wife a nice p&s. She has a food blog and wants a p&s that she can carry around in her purse, but still be able to take photos with a nice bokeh and dof. I was thinking about just getting her the Canon G12, and then I started looking at the 4/3 cameras a bit....and then...

Your items are really cool. I think I may have to order something. Nice work. :thumbup:

The shot is really sharp, and I like the reflective surface...it makes you take a second look to figure out what is going on. I kind of wish it was at a more interesting angle...maybe showing some of the face.

I have a brand spanking new (US) Canon 16-35 f2.8L II USM lens that I bought a few weeks ago (6/23). **SOLD**

I just put my gear up for sale... *Nikon D80 Package w/ 50mm 1.8 Lens & filters, Ex.Cond* - eBay (item 120603042571 end time Aug-05-10 16:21:34 PDT)

I decided it would just be easier to sell my gear first, and then see what I can get with the money. It looks like the a used 40D is a little over $100 more than the D80. Here is my auction if anyone is interested... *Nikon D80 Package w/ 50mm 1.8 Lens & filters, Ex.Cond* - eBay (item...

So I recently switched over to Canon and was going to keep my D80 as a back-up, but it just makes more sense (less gear) to have my back-up be a Canon as well. My plan is to try and find someone that would like to trade. Would a 40D be a pretty equal trade for a D80? Thanks

Thanks for all the info/comments everyone. That was quite informative.:thumbup:

So I recently purchased the 5d Mk II, and when you choose the "expanded ISO" setting you can technically go down to "L" or ISO 50. I read a comment on another board that the "expanded ISO" is a gimmick and not to bother with them. Anyone have some insight on this? Thanks (should I post this in...

I like the composition...IMO the fake blue frame with peach mat is cheapening your image...If you are going to frame the photo maybe do something like this... Oakledge on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

gary, If you read some of the other comments, I'm more concerned about focusing distance for the indoor baby portraits...and the 16-35 from 1.5ft is way to distorted for those.

So, should I hold out for this new Canon 50mm 1.4? It seems like this rumor has been going on for over a year now. Is it ever going to come?

When I'm shooting the babies inside I need to be close to keep their attention and interact with them. The 85 has a focusing distance of 2.8ft, which is pretty far away. When I threw on the 50mm macro it worked out a lot better, but the AF was terrible. Thanks for the comments everyone. I think...

So I was able to get an older copy of the 50mm 2.5 Macro for cheap from a friend and it is nice to have the "macro" ability, but the AF is really slow and LOUD. Will the 50mm 1.8 be much of an upgrade, or will I be disappointed and want the 1.4 or the 1.2....not really in the market right now...

Thanks for the replies. I think you have talked me out of all my previous options. I didn't realize how much the 1.2 actually was...I thought it was like $1200, but $1900 for a prime...jeez. So, I think I will go with the 85 1.8 for the portraits. But, I wish it was an L lens. Now for my travel...

So I have made the decision to switch from Nikon to Canon and step up to full frame...going from a D80 to a 5D MarkII. I have budgeted about 2k for lenses and am trying to decide what to start out with. I shoot baby portraits (all natural lighting) for the $ and travel (street/landscape) for...
