60D Post your pictures here!

Do you think this is good quality for a 60d with a 55-250? the image is cropped.
f10 1/100 ISO 100

I am not certain at what aperture the 55-250mm IS shines but I imagine f/8 or f/9 is its highest sharpness.
(this review gives an edge to f/8 vs f/11 - see lower on pg for 250mm http://www.photozone.d​e …n_55250_456is_5​0d?start=1)
At 250mm I think it wise to have your shutter speed at least at 1/250th sec, the IS is helping here. Would need to see a tighter crop of your image to see how f/10 and those other settings worked for you, although there may well have been some camera shake unless you used a tripod.

Do you think a tripod is required with 1/100 sec?

based on a principle as I understand it - your shutter speed should at least be equal to your focal length, so yes. Otherwise, camera shake is more pronounced, affecting sharpness of your shot. IS is an aid for handholdability, not a solution.

here's my contribution...

I really like this shot, not only for its quality but for the memories it brings. We had a Miniature Schnauzer who allowed us to live with him for over 15 years before he passed on. What a great dog he was. He only had one speed, fast forward. He didn't slow down until about 6-8 weeks before he died. Thanks for making my day.
I just recently purchased a 60D with the 18-135mm kit lens and hope to post some shots before too long. I've been visiting this site for about two weeks and am really enjoying it. Thanks to all who post here. I'm 76, disabled and spend most of the day in a powerchair so I don't get out and about as much as I would like. Also, its been so bloody hot here in Richmond, VA that it keeps me indoors most of the day. I really want to get started shooting macro, but I'm waiting on an adapter to connect my FL bellows to my 60D to complete my setup.

Here's a shot I took earlier. It's not too good but I'm still learning

Jamie - I think this is really nice, and I'm not a landscapes biggest fan but outstanding visual images like this one do catch my eye every now and then! I love the balance of colour.

Posted this in the other thread as well, I am new to PP techniques and wanted to try something different. C&C Welcome.

I was out wandering around in 100 degree heat, when I saw these tanks at the sewage treatment plant. 60D+24-105L B&W conversions in PSE 9.
Wanted to play a little with the framing in the blue-tinted one.....

like your pics!

off topic, which do you prefer IQ wise 5Dmk II or the 60D?

+++++++++++
When I do my part, I am unable to distinguish between the two, hard as I try. And I've tried, photographing the same images, same lens, same light, same F stop, on a tripod, 2 sec release, same focus point, manual and AF.......

I got the Mk II because I wanted a full size sensor for the different FOV with the same lens. Seemed cheaper to do that than buy more L Series lenses.,,,which is yet another subject..

Thanks for the compliment!!

Nice images!

Would like to apologize, to the group, for the postings of last night.

Suicidn and Macro: I'm also sorry for the things I said. They were said in haste and in poor judgement.

I will say, one thing, though. I thought it was very rude to say I was 'whore-posting'. That is what set me off.

I know, for a fact, that I can't leave this community behind. There is way too much to learn, and great people to learn from.

I know my pictures suck. That's why I'm here.

So, hate me. Or don't. Whatever.
