Shot in the beauty of twilight. Sometimes, NEPA does it's job in good taste

Fabulous shots you've got up there....what camera and lens do you use? Coz the 1st shot(beach part) has got much detail.

I use canon 60D and 18-55mm

Hey thanks and yes, it's entirely mine. Inspired to take that shot after I saw uj_sizzle's work.
It's the backyard at my parents

Many thanks bruv. The pictures with the better detail I shot with Canon T2i (550D).
the less vivid ones with hTc desire S

I only got the 18-55mm and the 50mm 1.8 (nifty fifty) in my arsenal. I shot that with the 18-55mm.
Next acquisition should be either a wide angle prime or a zoom that goes from wide to medium telephoto (maybe a Canon L lens )

sixbon2000: Check out the DOF on these shots

Crazy bokeh you got there pardner! DOF looks like its from a telephoto zoom lens?
Hope you'll be posting some more photos too.

Very nice!. Getting my 50mm f/1.4 in the soonest.
Since my 1st experienced lens is 18-55mm, it kinda seems noise friendly, so I keep my ISO at less than 800. Hope the prime 50mm(s) are not that noise friendly.

As for the zoom/telephoto lenses, that will be a later option for me.

Ur right. i used a 55-200mm lens for the shots

Your Images are outstanding..
We are currently working on our photlab,
i'm sure we'll like to come do some shoot out prints
and lets have your idea.
Thats coming up very soon,will be in touch then.
Nice job!!

I shoot Raw then use lightroom and save as jpeg

Oh great! The 50mm 1.4 is a stellar lens. The 50mm(s) wont give you noisy pictures at all because you'll be shooting at very wide apertures.
The benefit of wider apertures (f/1.4, f/1.8, f/2. ... ) is that the shutter, as it is opened wide, lets in more light. This means you enjoy:

1. Low light photography - You can shoot photos indoors with or without the use of flash. Pictures are less noisy because your camera does not have to dramatically increase the ISO to over-compensate for light.

2. Blurred background - You'll get softer pictures with out-of-focus backgrounds (bokeh). This is usually desired for beautiful portraits.

I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my 50mm f/1.8 and the 50mm f/1.4 you intend to get is way better than that. I'm sure you'll enjoy the sharp picture and vivid colour quality it's known for.

By the way, you can check out sample pictures from various lens and camera types from this site: http://www.pixel-peeper.com/

Nice lens for getting up close, great for wildlife. I like the closeness telephoto lens gives to pictures.

Do you shoot Nikon?

So true about not using a flash indoors and still getting a useable photo.

Just showing a 50mm f1.4 before & after pic indoors, night, no flash as I didn't want to disturb the baby. Zero noise reduction in the 'after' pic. It is a pretty good lens. Oh @ nrd geek... I dropped my 50 f1.8 and it died... the nifty-fifty served me well for 3yrs

Thanks boss! been to pixel-peeper several times *GREAT place for sample images* while most of their images are cats #lol.

Thanks for the little light you threw on the 50mm f/1.4, i'm always inlove with the wonders of prime lenses, can't wait to have mine.

nice work bruv! They will look really nice for a 'review'

A question for the house pls: What is the difference between DOF(depth of field) and BOKEH?
