First pictures, taken with a loaned XTi+Canon50mm 1.8

What I'm saying is that just using F/1.8 doesn't make any picture magically artistic. The subject and lighting aren't that great anyways.

I agree, and I get what you're saying. As I said I was just trying out the fast aperture for the first time

i think the bokeh is nice too
not pixelated, it is soft and continuous

first one is great!

Thanks guys!

Well, just got back from the wedding, went great! Got to use a few cameras+bodies:

-Canon XTi
-Canon T1i(there were two, I love the LCD on this thing.
-Canon 50D(only for a couple of pictures near the end sadly.

Lenses:

-Canon 50mm 1.8
-Canon 35mm 2.0, a couple of shots, awesome lens, can't imagine the 1.4
-Canon 28mm, for like 20 shots, real big difference in coverage.
-Canon 85mm, awesome portrait lens.
-Sigma 70-200mm, only for like three shots where we needed the focal length.

It was exhausting but we got some really good shot opportunities. it was threatening to rain all day but it never did.

I got a good amount of good shots this time, she even chose a few to show in the first slideshow she made(put on a projector during the reception). Still don't know what I'll do if I wanna show em' to you guys, probably gonna have to just link to the galleries or if I can the specific shots I took. Either way they won't be up for a while, just wanted to say it went well, had a boatload of fun getting to use so much equipment and actually knowing what I was doing(most of the time jeje) this time. Learned a lot.

Oh forgot to mention the flashes, they were two 430EX flashes, bounced off the ceiling both in the church and the reception hall. Some more lighting was provided by the videographer on the job, he knows my sister and has worked with her before, awesome guy.

That's it
