Nice marshall.... :D

What size is that one?

[Dazecoop]

Its a combo, Marshall AVT275. Its a stereo combo, 75 watt per speaker, 16 digital effects per channel with 4 channels and valve pre amp :) Goes well with my Gibson at least :twisted:

Sure, I'll try! Although its pretty difficult to get decent Bokeh when you don't have any lenses which are wider than f3.5! :cry: :rolleyes:

Shoot from as far back as possible and make sure the background behind your subject is far away maybe? Try a telephoto?

Sure, will do. Or I may wait 'till I get my hands on my next lens. Although it'll probably be the 17-40 f4, its at least something to show off the lens! :lol:

At 40mm you should be fine, and I'm sure it will have great bokeh as it is an L.

Awesome photo, what is that, cheese in his hand?

BTW, I could be not thinking right, but if you don't mind investing in a 1.4x TC there doesn't seem to be any reason to go with the 400 over the 300 that I can see. Can somone clue me in? I see a lot of people with this lens so I'm curious.

Well a naked prime is generally sharper than a prime+TC. Also the TC sill affect AF performance. The 400 is one of the best AF performing lenses available.

thx...it's a cotton-top tamarin eating a piece of cut out carrot...:D

i choose 400mm so that it gives me 560mm with 1.4xtc for stationary bird shots where mf is still possible... and with 400mm pure glass, the AF is lightning fast with good light.. excellent for flight shots.... lastly, i carry a tripod all the time...:D

I always wanted one as a pet, but parents told me in Canada you can't keep them in the houses. Wonder if I could get one now. Would be great for testing out new lenses (macro especially) and it would be one cute creature (I always had a thing for lizzards.) I am allergic to cats, but I would think a lizzard would be fine?

dude, go for it! That would make for some real nice pics!

I like geckos too, if you could find a real neat colored gecko, or one of those colorful lizards would make cool macro shots too.

I want to get a green tree python and take pics of that, but my mom wont let one of those in the house.... i wonder why:rolleyes: :lol:

Gecko! That's the name of the one I love I think. I remember my parents bringing a book on one home from Hawaii when I was much younger (maybe 5-6.)

I think you need a special breed and need some lamps and need to take care of them. I guess I'll have to research more. I'm also not sure if I could get one at a pet store in Canada.

Well, there are plenty of them down here, and many wild ones. Iguanas are wild in miami, and i tried to catch a few, but it was harder than it looked...:)
I was only using my hands tho... if i had a castnet, i could just throw it right on top. The little ones were about 6 inches long, and were BRIGHT green. pretty neat.

Maybe you could plan a trip to fla, adn get some lizards, and have a nice shoot! haha

Oh and ya, definately do some research, from what i know about snakes, it is not too hard to take care of reptiles, and once you look it up i think it will be okay. just check on having them in canada.
You might need a lamp and leave it on all the time when it is cold, so you prob couldnt have them in your room...

let me know what you find out

btw, cat allergies suck. im sorry. i am alergic too, but realllllyyyyy want one..:cry:

Hehe, for sure. My room ranges from 22 (72 degrees faherenit) degrees celsius to 30 degrees celsisus (86 degrees faherenit) at all times, because of all the heat generating electronics I have, so perhaps it would be okay, not sure.

nope, not missing a thing. That was actually taken with the kit lens. The shorter the focusing distance, the smaller you can get the DoF.

Can anyone tell me if these examples are correct? I haven't gotten the description of bokeh yet.

I think they are ok, in fact the first time i came to this forum i didn't know what is bokeh means, but from shots and some replies i found that bokeh means the blur in background, the more blurry it is, the better bokeh it is.
Nice shots, BTW.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Those shots could benefit quite a bit from a circular aperture and more aperture blades... 50mm f/1.8 MkII right?

You're correct Lani... I did use my 50mm f/1.8 II... Could you explain what a "circular aperture" and "aperture blade" to me is? I've never heard of those terms...

Look at the lights in the background. They are pentagonal in shape due to the 5 blade aperture of the 50 1.8. Other lenses employ more aperture blades to produce round specular highlights.

Ahhh... Thanks In2 for the clarification... I guess the lens has it's limitations due to the cost of the glass... Hheheeehhehe... It's all good... I liked it nonetheless...
