from last week, with the sigma 24-70, in the front yard

Nice shot Jon!  Love the d.o.f.

Went out the other just looking for some depth of field practice myself.  Came out with some fairly pleasing shots.

That third shot is very interesting.

Question:  How do I add a watermark or sig to my photos?  I have photoshop.

oh, and +t for getting out and shooting different stuff 

[Ryan Sims]

+T back to you in 12.

As far as the signature, I just type that in a text box in each photo (with Photoshop) after resizing.  I know you can add a watermark, it might be in ?Filters? but I never have tried it.  So basically I'm of no help.

Well, I didn't even know about the text box.  I've only used photoshop for resizing.  Been on my computer for awhile.  Time to learn it.  I've taught myself all the other audio software I use, time to move on to something else.

flowers are really out in bloom since we got some rain (finally) the other day.  Here are two of the many I just went out and shot.

I just finished placing the order a B&H and I sort of followed eric b's advice and the advice of my photography knowledgable friends. Picked up....

Tamron Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS


and some accesories, CF card, card reader, lens cleaning cloth. She'll still need a bag and a good UV filter. thanks for the advice guys. I'm very excited to give this to her.

Shawn, after playing with hers for a moment, your gonna want one for yourself

I'm new to the digital SLR myself. I have a Canon 350d with the kit lens. I picked up a 70-300 USM IS for outdoor use and a 28-135 USM IS to fill the gap. I quickly realized I'm stuck when it comes to low light indoor/concerts. I'm wondering if the 28-135 which is f3.5 - ?? will cut it for concerts? I really don't want to buy another lens right now.

[stirinthesauce]

You'll notice the limitations of 3.5 when shooting concerts, especially underlit venues.

Come on, we're all gear nuts, welcome the purchase of new toys

God I hope not. I don't know if we can afford another expensive hobby in our house.

my buddy has the tamron 24-50 f2.8 and loves it, and this is pretty much the same lens. The camera's maiden voyage will be at the all good festival so I'm sure there will be some shots in the rig pics section.

I give you two months before you start looking for a 2nd body.  Think of it this way, you can share lenses.  All you need is a another body.

[Shawn]

right.... well I'll just get you to sell me yours so you can upgrade.

actually this has been good for my taping hobby. I made the camera lens to mic capsule analogy yesterday and I think she finally understands why I want to buy more caps for my mics.
