You really need a tripod for any sort of low light urban photography.

Unless you want to shoot wide open and bump up the ISO.

One thing that I have learned is that its better to make things easier for yourself in photography in order for you to actually concentrate on the photograph.

So by eliminating the little things. The stuff that is common sense. Than you can concentrate on producing photographs that YOU want....

I hope that helps.

Yup it helps. Thanks

But its good to see you getting out there and trying what works and what does not. Thats how I learn as well.

I just like to get stuck in. Im the usual, throw the manual away. So thats good JJ! you should come to the next gkpe meet with John.

On a side note. I keep wanting a new peice of glass. Dammit. I just want a two lens combo. So this 50mm and something wider. But I am generally unsure and then I just give up and not bother.

First I was considering an L prime. But then I just cant justify spending so much money on it. But then again it is an investment. I was thinking 24mm L or 35mm L. But then I thought the 16-35mm would be perfect for me. Because I can enjoy ultra wide angle whilst enjoying a 35mm length as well. And at F2.8 being a nice fast piece of glass.

But hell that is 2k worth for glass. I wish Sigma and Tamron will pull there asses out and make some decent glass for full frame.

If the Sigma 30mm was not DC I will definitely use that.

Decided to try some dramitic PP. Honest CC welcome.

arh why did all that go west after I saved for web
