Come check out some of the new updates on my website:
www.photographybyspencer.webs.com

are all your photos taken with your 450D? - they are really good!

what lens' do you use mate?

Recent photos are done with my 450D and either the rubbish kit lens, or my 50mm prime.
(I will be getting a 70-200 L on Dec 15th though)

My older pictures were done with my Power S5 IS (Point-And-Shoot) lol.
Give me a camera and I can do some magic


If these are good I can't wait to see what I get with my $1200 lens.

nice website, i didnt realize you were so young. You made that site all by yourself?

What 70-200 lens are you gonna buy? 2.8, 4, with or without is?

I think its 1.4 IS but I'm not entirely sure yet I have to wait to see what my pay check will be like


Edit: and yeah I made it by myself!

I think that f-4 with is is about same price as 2.8 without is, personally i would definetly take that 2.8 version since is wont help on enything else than hand shaking, but 2.8 allows you to use half the shutterspeed, that will stop the movement of objects quite well and allso help on hand shake. Allso you get better controls on dof, 2.8 might give bit too slim focused area at 300mm for some situations tho, so u might have to stop it down a bit enyways.

wtf?

2.8 with is costs really much, but i looked and 2.8 without is is about same price as 4 with is, f-4 without is is way cheaper. f number says how wide open the lens is, smaller f-number = wider = more light to lens and smaller focused area(and naturally better bokeh too).

These are the f-numbers in the camera by 1/3rd stops bold are full stop numbers 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3.3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5.0, 5.6, 6.3, 7.1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22, adding one full stop it will make your light meter go down to -1(if it was on 0) and one 1/3rd stop will make it go down one of those small steps between -1 and 0, double the shutter speed(or double the iso) and it will be back on 0. So if u got some situation where light meter shows 0 and you use f-4 and 1/50th shutter speed, by changing to f-2.8 you can use 1/100th shutter speed with same light amount. Allso f-2.8 and iso 400 is same as f-4 and 800 iso, with same shutter speed on both.
