milf.... sbavvvv

[nvasudeva]

She is not even paying attention to what he is telling her lol in a way it's good because he is telling her to use auto mode :-) give her a point n shoot camera

[rubynav]

excellent tip, may you please continue to provide tips? thanks

[geonerd]

WHY are you encouraging people to "Let the camera do the thinking?" That just feeds the BS the manufacturers sell, that the camera is responsible for the final image, and that more modes, menu options, megapixels, and other garbage will somehow make your pictures more aesthetic. Teaching photographic fundamentals takes much more time and effort, but will produce vastly better results in the long run.

[Tgrocker419]

those pics really suck and so does the rebel

[mrmindstorms]

MANUAL FOR THE WIN automatic is not good

[TheStig000]

Use manual mode for sure, but only if you know what you're doing. Of course you're going to get better results in manual if you're a pro.

[msmyrmidon]

USE MANUAL :p i swear, it's better than using those automatic settings

[kamikim1]

now that called professionalism, great

very breif great description

[magix93]

looks horrible with the flash

[lovebaja]

i agree, use natural for flower shots.

[sbbriley]

tip: shoot in manual it's great!!

[cjl5344]

try putting a tissue in front of the flash so it does not look so harsh. the pic not very good but you cant expect much out of the kit lens.

[Exclamation]

Flash? That's horrible. That ruins the photo. In certain situations, and used the right way, it's fine...but that flower was not very appealing after they used flash on it...

[DellMan94]

I agree. If it had been shot in monchrome mode it would have looked better.

[Susyr22]

That macro close up sucked! I dont think a flash should ever be used on a flower, It ruins the look and the softness of the shot.

[carloscane]

What kind of lens were you using?

[DellMan94]

It is just a normal 18-55 mm lens.

[areyouoffit]

the pop up flash sucks. so does the kit lens for macro work. and infact so do all the auto modes on the xti

I only ever use Av and Manual. 430ex flashgun and im upgrading from the kit lens to either canon ef-d 17-85mm is usm or perharps the canon ef 24-70 F2.8 L

[zjumps33]

Pretty much, I got a few good shots off the lens kit and the pop up flash. Its not THAT bad just not something I want to make $ off of.

[bigirl2186]

i think that a real photographer doens't really need a lot of lenses to get good shots. if he has an eye to make good photos then even with kit lens, he can produce good quality photos.

[cjl5344]

i agree but some extra lens are a nice thing to have though

[fernandesfran]

@bigirl2186, that quote reads well in a book, but it's different in real life. All the top photographers use the most expensive lens they can afford. Show me someone who has taken good professional quality photos with the 18-55 mm kit lens that came with 400D.

Cheers.

[owl753951]

my photography teacher said the samething,

"make a picture" not "take a picture"

[masgalvan]

wich what lens do that?

[warrock556]

It seems like the standard bundle kit lens which is the EF-S 18-55mm zoom

[zjumps33]

yup its just a basic lens kit... dont know why they talk about marco when this isnt a macro lens O_o.
