Canon 55-250mm lens: Fresno Chaffee Zoo

[kuwarikutti]

what was that at 1:33 ???wockkkhh

[Daxelinho9]

I've heard that the lens is a macro objective. But 200mm is tele, I'm right? Why there are on amazon for example photos of macros? Is this a macro objective, too? And a tele? :huh:

sorry 4 my bad english..

[JusMG559]

@Daxelinho9 This is a tele lens. I'm using a 500d so it is on a 1.6 sensor crop.

[FIREandICE94]

The picture at 2:16 is phenomenal!

[CHRiiSSYKiiLLs]

What Camera was used? & are the photos raw? I'm considering buying this lens, i have the canon eos 550d. Great Video by the way, love the photos. Especially the ones with the frogs.

[JusMG559]

@CHRiiSSYKiiLLs I used the 500d all images were taken in RAW mode.

[majestixblue]

nice sharpness, interesting lens considering the price

[JusMG559]

@majestixblue Another great lens for the price is the 50mm 1.8. Check it out.

[majestixblue]

@JusMG559 yeah I know that one, planning to get that one soon :)

[majestixblue]

@JusMG559 yeah, i know that one. Planning to get one soon :) by the way,I saw comparison between this 55-250 to EF 70-300 IS USM. It seems 70-300 is sharper.. but yours is sharp, is it becaue you use manual focusing??

[JusMG559]

@majestixblue probably, it could have to do with the camera body you use. I noticed on my 500d that auto focus isn't always at its sharpest for different lens. Especially full frame lenses

[SevinTV]

can u tell me what render settings you used to get ur video quality soo well on youtube?

[JusMG559]

@SevinTV Hey sorry for the late reply. My settings on Sony Vegas are wmv11.  Audio 192 kbps, video: 29.97 fps/ 1280 x 720/ wmv v9 cbr/ custom tab> best quality

[TiiM93]

nice shots! one question... wat the eff is that?! 0:54

[liquidcelica]

you just made my decision easier.

[KaustubhKulkarni1992]

this all are taken from 55-250mm?

[JusMG559]

@KaustubhKulkarni1992 Yes they are.

[JusMG559]

@KaustubhKulkarni1992 Yes they are, all photos in manual mode with auto focus off

[mateusz318921]

lol at squirrel!

[BlazEajayaday]

I think you just sold me on this lens!

[Stevsta1213]

Kudos! =]

[PrORaizEK]

Hi , is the 55-250 good for architecture shots?

[JusMG559]

@PrORaizEK It really depends on the area you wish to photograph. If you wish to capture large sections of the structure I would go with a 10-22mm USM. I recently took some architecture shots of an abandoned hospital (Spanish revival architecture) in LA using a 10-22mm and a 50mm 1.8 for interior shots. Feel free to check it out, it is the Linda Vista video I posted.

[CellphoneTL]

What were you settings when you took the picture of the frog on the tree here? 0:42

I'm needing a new lens and am really considering getting this one. But I'm a beginner to DSLR.

[JusMG559]

@CellphoneTL I used a wide aperture and a long exposure time for this shot. I'm also a beginner, it's alot of fun!

[tukiexxx]

amazing pictures , ive got canon 550d and will buy this lens soon :)

[dawe383]

Did they have nap time when you went to the zoo? lol

[JusMG559]

@dawe383 Just darted them so I could get a closer shot lol

[fogster31]

nice

[JCHONDA2NR]

u should use photoshop to adjust the pics...nice pics though!! SQUIRRLE!!!

[JusMG559]

@JCHONDA2NR I'm a beginner, just want to learn how to take good shots before messing with the software.

[tastycajun]

I'm getting my on the 29th of June to couple wid my t1i!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!

[IUSECAMERAS]

@tastycajun hey if you can get the T2i (trust me)

[tastycajun]

@IUSECAMERAS well i already have the camera, i got the lens!

[mindbodyexpert]

Hi Great clicks, Can you tell the stetting for frame 2:16 (Bird). Thanks.

[kenharris85]

Great Shots and good music too !! what settings u made when the light is low and what if it is bright can u plz explain me ?

[JusMG559]

@kenharris85 I increased the exposure time for low light shots (aperture as wide as possible) I also used a tripod and timer in order to keep the frames from blurring. I kept the ISO as low as possible to avoid noise, I strongly suggest using a tripod! Taking pictures in daylight is much easier since the exposure time required is much shorter.

[kenharris85]

@JusMG559 Thanks for your tips mate. Keep rocking. post your photo collection.

[elave16]

@JusMG559 use denoise 4 from topaz labs in photoshop! worth every penny!!! Iso 800 like iso 200!! great for freezing action shots!

Thanks for the vid! I was thinking of getting a cheap zoom lense to go with my xsi!

[JusMG559]

@elave16 I'll check it out, thanks.

[elave16]

@elave16 well this came wrong ... cheap lens compared to 70-200 F4 L (1200) ...

[JusMG559]

@elave16 I'm actually thinking of buying a 70-200 2.8 II soon, it's such an awesome lens.

[WookieeCookies]

SQUIRREL!

[ZaneAngelo]

nice shots..what kind of settings did u use when taking the shots? Did you use a tripod? I have a rebel xsi and have the same lense but am begginer to dslrs..

[JusMG559]

@ZaneAngelo Thanks, I used manual mode for every frame. I also used a tripod for the low light shots. Settings varied depending on lighting and composition. Let me know what frames you want to know more about.

[hitman1365]

Nice Mang. But that is one depressed giraffe though. It's at 1:55, poor guy, lol.
