I like how her right eyelashes are in focus. I really like this shot!

thanks man. to be 100% honest, i focused on her lead eye, but i was shooting in low light coditions in my studio, so it look like the camera didn't quite 'grab' focus correctly, but yes it turned out to be a great shot nonetheless.

here is one where I got the lead eye in focus, but I still like the previous one better. something about her expression is so engaging in that one.

here's the other:

after alot of research and hard thinking I have just ordered one of these for my 550D. Based on this thread I have no doubt I am going to love this lens

congrats!! I'm using mine on the 500D and love it on it... 50 on a FF is my favorite focal length but this comes damn close on a crop haha, cant wait to get it on a 5dii though!

another

so about this shot, I wanted the bottom right image in there to balance it out with another vertical with the same tones.... does it look stupid or does it work? please, honest opinions

^^ looks good luke
appreciate the tutorial
I can really tell your photography & skill are improving, keep up the great work

@m.shalaby - really like the feel of the black & white
great work

@Armen - nice bmw images

what do you guys do to fight the purple fringing with this lens? when you're stopped down to f/2.8 or so, LR can take care of it, but wider than that, and it becomes a real problem. The best thing I've figured out to do is just desaturate purple and magenta from the whole image, or at least the parts that are fringed.

Thanks man I appreciate that!! I'm trying to do more natural light, its more post production depending on the lighting at the time but I like the feel and its a lot easier to setup and shoot! I think lighting can be a great tool when used right, so I'm trying to learn both ways. I also need to shoot more, it was almost 2 months between my last shoot and this one O.o BAD!

Robert, can't say I've really noticed that bad of a problem with the purple fringing, then again I'm also used to my Tokina 80-200 2.8 which CA's like a B*TCH at any aperture O.o haha

nice I totally agree w/ trying to do natty light and such an easy minimalistic setup.
I've been itching to get some use out of my camera as i just upgraded to 5d2/50 combo hopefully i'll have something to contribute to the thread soon.

I will be waiting I'm saving up for a 5DII aswell, being a college student sucks hahah. I think 50 on a 5DII would be a great setup, however I'm probably going to wait until I can trade my 15-85 + 200 or so out for a 24-105L
