Vrey nice photos, Anthony!

#1 and #5 are a little too dark for my liking, but you've done a great job there. The 50mm rocks, doesn't it?

Thanks guys, the comments mean a lot to me :) It was a real fun event to shoot, the colors and lighting were fantastic, and the handful of nice shots I got doesn't reveal the 500+ other shots that didn't make the cut.

Some of the shots are a little dark, but it does kind of reflect the dim lighting. Also, on the first shot, I intentionally kept things on the underexposed side when processing the RAW--I love how it's like a silhouette in the blue backlighting.

The 50mm f1.8 is a great lens, but I can't help but be tempted by the f1.4 version. That it's a $60 lens means it's a great bargain for image quality, but the speed and accuracy of the focusing leaves a little to be desired... There's nothing like a nice USM lens to speed things up a little :)

Wow these shots are so awesome. Great job, I wish my 1.8 would take pics like that :D

#2 and 4 are awesome! #1 the BG (second person and black 'things') are distracting, in #3 it's really a shame that the hand of the 1st girl is in front of the 2nd girls face. Would have been super otherwise...
