Just to bring a little bit more detail out. Great photos though, and an adorable subject! 50D, 85 1.8, 28 1.8, 70 - 200 4L, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Mar 29, 2011 18:34 | #11 Thanks again for all your input. I'm still pretty new to photography. I've had my Canon T1i for about a year. These pictures were taken with the T1i and my 50mm f/1.4 http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixidance/

That one was shot in natural light indoors. I'll try to export the color version for you so that you can see what I was working with.
