WHat processing did you do here?

SOOC. Not a whole lot: curves, sharpening, levels. Probably it.

You're probably gonna have to shoot around f/2-2.8. That shot of the dog was at iso 100, f/1.4 and 1/1250. Was your iso as low down as it could go??

I used to have the same problem on my xxxD body. During the day, f/1.4 would exceed the max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. I always had to stop down to f/2.2 or more to get the right exposure. Ever since I got my 7D, I've had no more issues since it can do 1/8000 sec.

ehhhh try a ND filter. You shouldn't be shooting mid day anyways. Jordan mostly shoots at the golden hour or around shade. You won't need that high of a shutter even when shooting wide open at the golden hour.

My post was a response to someone else's question about shooting wide open in bright light. An ND filter is on my list of things to get.

I love this one! What a great capture and look on his face.

My first post.

Got into photography for fun a few months ago but playing around mostly with a p&s. Bought a 550D 10 days ago and use the 50/1.4 as my main walkaround lens. Lens choice was made by you guys and your wonderful advice, knowledge and technique.

I certainly do not have many of your skills but have been shooting a lot.

Thank you guys.

2 pics taken recently.
