Yeah I dont have much room inside to back up, so good point.

You guys are giving me even more to think about than I already had :lol: I wish the 70-200 2.8 wasnt so damn expensive. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Do you sell your work or is it just a personal hobby? And doesnt sound very poor to me, lol.

Im just not very interested in the 35mm for some reason. I guess because Im pretty content with my 50 and its too close?

Im not really interested in any of those three things also, so yeah :P.


no wildlife i just shoot for myself and fun, only shot i have had "published" so to speak was of an endangered Black Footed Cat, there are very few in the wild, are very difficult to find and nocturnal, hence not many photo's of the wild ones
and yes i have photo's of a cat :P just not an ordinary house cat

i do corporate event photography though, i like some of the events but the photography side is boring, uninspiring and not artistic
so i am thinking of dropping it as an income and just doing the photography i enjoy as a hobby, will see what happens in the next couple months

wish i could afford a "real" wildlife photographers lens

well that shouldve made it alot easier for u now, all that should be left on your list is the 85 or the 100

mmmmm i think they are also too close together, it should be either one or the other if it's your first purchase. Stick with the 85 to start with.

My next lens will be the sigma 35 1.4 or the 100mm macro, i need something not as wide and tight as 24/50 for fashion (35mm) and something for beauty (macro)

Like I've said a few times, the new sigma 35 1.4 shits on the canon 35L and it's half the price :)


gotta test that 1 out then, only tried the canon so far
are there excellent and crap copies as most other sigma lenses or does the quality control seem good on it?

Apparently it's all fixed now!

They have even released a USB dock to make adjustments on the lens haha

Yeah I think thats what Im going to do.

I just cant seem to get interested in the 35, lol. There are soooo many lenses that I want, that one just isnt on my radar atm :P.

:lol: Have you posted anything here? People need to post more photos.

That does sound super boring. Kind of the reason that I stay away from weddings, they arent fun at all imo.

I wish I could justify blowing 2k on the 70-200..so I know how you feel.

posted way back, not posted for ages
then again didnt shoot for a while, shot a bit lately but my pc has crashed, ordering all new parts atm, then will have loads of editing to catch up :S

weddings are cool to photograph, alot of stress and very tiring but way better than corporate events, well besides when i shoot the bartending competitions

Ah. Editing sucks xD I still have to send my old hard drive off to get recovered, Cami dropped my computer and killed it. 50 gigs worth of photos -__-

Good :D. If I went out more Id post more..but stuck at home ofc.

Yeah they are much too stressful. I like the fun and laid back atmosphere you get with kids and families. I imagine you get some pretty cool shots at those things..the lighting is always so neat at bars. I wish I could shoot at the casino we have here (pretty much the only cool place in this podunk town) but they dont allow cameras.

the comp's are never at an actual bar, they are at proper barmen training facilities
yeah the coloured lighting in bars can be cool, but it makes the job more difficult especially when u are using a flash as well

i also have to recover both my hard drives :S hundreds of gigs
both internal and external crashed around the same time somehow

Aw. Yeah I guess I can see that, Id probably prefer the crazy lighting though lol.

Yeesh. Thats why I dont really want to invest in an external drive, I always hear about them crashing.



Hey have any of you used PhotoDirector 4?
