I don't know. I seem to get better low lit shots with the fisheye then the 35mm. Maybe it's partially the body or something but I am really dissatisfied with the 35mm. I really need to upgrade or get a new lens. I feel hindered in my photography for some reason with what I have. Hopefully that D800 will be something good.

What other lens would be best to pickup?
And what would be a great external hard drive to buy?
Any suggestions?
Does he have a preference in what he shoots? I always suggest the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X but it is a wide lens. Good for landscapes and an all around lens but not so god for portraits since it stretches the subject matter. Here is a link to some sample pics: http://www.pixel-peeper.com/lenses/?lens=12955
And Western Digital are fine but I am no expert when it comes to harddrives. I just get what is cheap.

Play with that ISO bro, are you having trouble focusing?...perhaps you can turn on your flash assist-af beam but disable your flash, I always do this when I'm shooting in low light and can't focus...the nikkor 24-70 isn't faster than a prime at 2.8, the quality however and accurate focus gives most primes a run for their money....I own the Nikkor 24-70 and used to have the 24-70L can't even compare the 2, Nikon is on another league with that lense.

We usually go to a lot of different restaurants, he has the Canon EF for the macro shots, and the Tokina would've been perfect for restaurant shots and just everyday.

Great stuff all, I need me a nice camera...Xmas is around the corner! I am pretty artistic with my camera phone! lol
My friend told me about this camera a while back and I didn't get the hype on it until I watched this video. THEN I googled it and checked how much it was.Originally Posted by Mr Fongstarr
Canon EOS C300 = Awesome from Jonathan Yi on Vimeo.
Check out this video text of the Canon EOS C300. Only if they made it affordable to the general public.
bro, ima give it to you upfront...if you are even considering wedding photography you better stop thinking of keeping a budget, wedding photographers charge a grip because of how expensive their equipment is, you need fast glass because some churches wont allow you to use flash the 2 lenses your kit came with wont hold up, you need a camera with a big sensor that can handle high ISO without sacrificing IQ, your T1i for sure wont hold up.....just don't go around saying you do wedding photography misleading a client even if its just a friend and then realize how hard it really is once is too late...don't use someones wedding as practice bro.....i do recommend you find an actual wedding photographer you can shadow, assist or maybe even second shoot for....do that for a whole wedding season and absorb as much as you can, save up money and upgrade your body first thing when the time is right, then build your lens line up.Originally Posted by mikejs210
Are there any sites that can help me out with poses for portraits and wedding photos or does anyone have any tips? Any help is appreciated.
Also, I'm looking to upgrade my lens. I just have a T1i with the two lenses that came with it. I'd be mainly looking to shoot portraits. Nothing over $1000 if possible
I'm just not sure if I should be looking at a telephoto lens or a super telephoto lens or telephoto zoom lens.
