Thanks so much for the time guys. I will look around. I usually dont set up but i like to have candid portraits where its just the person in the picture and the backround blurry.

Under 100$ pref

IINM the only thing that'll get you close to there is a used 50 or 35 f/1.8.

I have a 50 f/1.8 but I often find it to be a bit long for my taste, I think I would prefer a 35. The problem is there is no 35 for Canon.

I know, that's why I suggested the 35.

I was just explaining why I don't have one.

What do you primarily use it for? Longer is better for most portraits and a 50mm on DX should be fine.

Had some fun playing with these cameras today.... No words

Which version is better?

If I wanted to just make the bridge darker- what would be the easiest way to do so in PS?

Not sure why? They are linked to Flickr... Is there a size limit when linking?

Something Fishy · « **Reply #710 on:** October 05, 2014, 12:55:26 PM »

No limit.

Are the picture private?

ETA: The links are clickable now, though.

Layer the two versions and use a layer mask to paint in only the bridge. IMO there's too much glow and fuzziness to make this easy or clean, but give it a try anyway.

It's shared publicly. The files are rather large- maybe that's why they're not loading

ETA: fixed

The sunflare I can't help, but the noise I added purposely for texture.

Try darkening the bridge first and then add the texture. Should make things simpler.

can anyone give some tips how to use the Canon G15. to me its a fancy camera but i would love to use some good features. Thanks

whYME · « **Reply #716 on:** November 06, 2014, 03:02:22 AM »

Sometimes you just can't get the picture.

For example, this incredible sunrise over Twin Falls, ID. By the time I was able to get to where I maybe could've got a half decent shot the magic was gone.

Oh well, you win some you lose some...

I have a Sony HX50V. I see now that it's not the greatest camera for taking pictures of my toddler because it's too slow and it either misses the shot or comes out blurry. I have it set to Intelligent Auto. Is there a different setting that would be better? (Not just an auto setting even a custom setting)

Hi guys. So I'm going to be in Jersey city of Shabbat. Right by the Hudson.
If the weather is nice I want to catch the sunrise over Manhatten.
Quick lesson on setting and stuff I should use?

After reading up on it. It seams I'll only be able to get the silhouette look.
Idk if I want to go crazy and wake up to early for that on a Sunday.
