I just bought this lens, why is it good in low light? I haven't seen much of a difference.

This latest trend seems to rarely add anything to a shot IMO. I wonder why it is necessary? It's otherwise a very nice shot.

Well I have learned by my mistake's
those eye's are way overdone, but I do still belive that eye's should be enhanced, just not as much as those ;)

I apologize, I'm still learning about this SLR stuff...Why does the 1.8 make it good in low light. I mean, I've been playing around with the settings on my XT, and if I shoot in Av mode, this lens is great. I hate the flash. I'm getting better though. Check out my flickr.

The smaller the numerical value of the "f" number, the wider the aperture. This allows more light to come into the camera, and you need lots of light to record an image in dimly lit settings. Additionally, if you increase the ISO while shooting with a low aperture number (meaning wide aperture, called "shooting wide open"), you will be able to shoot in lower light. And if you shoot wide open in Av like this, your shutter will be faster. The three things (i.e. ISO, aperture, and shutter) are all connected. Understanding this will help you make better photographs.

Thank you very much for the explanation. I think I get it a bit more now.

Now, in one of the pictures above, someone said the eyes had been "fixed' or photoshopped. How do you do that?

Just out of curiousity.. is it this lense as advertisised on B&H website that you're referring to?

I've ordered that lense from a friend who is visiting NY this week, and just want to be sure that i've ordered the right lense :) For the price, the results look really good.


My Canon can.. I just need to find out how :rolleyes:

You really ought to buy one of Scott Kelby's Photoshop books for more information on that particular topic. He lays things out step by step for the beginner.
