or! i wanna like contact someone who's selling their house (ans by house i mean huge ass mansion) and see if i can use it as a photoshoot. that way they get advertising and i get my "studio".

get a Holga. shoot it in addition to your digital. or else get an old Duraflex or something like that...try to find something that shoots 120 so you don't have to go pay extra for 640...which is 120 on a different sized spool.

i shoot with my Holga plenty and my Duraflex less (maybe one roll on the Duraflex every 15 months.)

film makes you really think about your shots. plus i like the look...instead of having to do digital wankery.

EDIT: YES! So i have the girl, now i need the guy and a fat house. I already know which guy i want, and she's gonna ask him tomarrow! and she knows like 1 million people, so she'll be able to find me a house.

hopefully my plan goes the way i want it and i can finish everything in a few days.

PS: My theme for this project is "The Modern Family" She'll be wearing fancy (but fashionable) clothes, and carrying a suitcase, a nice cell phone, and business stuff like that. While he's cleaning the bathroom, cooking, taking care of the kids (if i decide to add kids to my photos although thats even more work), vacuuming, etc...

wow, 1/3rd of seattle...that's impressive

!

the modern family idea sounds cool, especially how it's different from the traditional male work in office, woman work in house kinda thing.

On the topic of wide angle lenses, what would one recommend for a Canon?

Depends on if you're full frame or not. Not, I'd pick the EF-S 10-22 f3.5-4.5. I have one, and I'm very pleased with it.

I watched that last night. It's black magic.

Supposedly Gimp has had something very similar for a while. I've seen examples from Gimp, but not it actually working though.

Ayreonaut · #**649** Posted **Mar 25, 2010, 5:35 PM**

Wow, that's impressive.

Changed my mind again and am gonna get the tokina 12-24
lens as advised and plus its 170euro cheaper than the 11-16mm
I also think the extra range will come in handy now and again.

Thanks again.

Doady · #**651** Posted **Mar 25, 2010, 11:51 PM**

Hmmm, one could say that the 11-16 is actually the one with the "extra range" considering the wider angle and brighter max aperture... but then again Pentax is a bigger name than Tamron, so perhaps 12-24 is better in other ways.

toyota74 · #**652** Posted **Mar 25, 2010, 11:54 PM**

true but I think money decided this Im
afraid.

I finally finished editing/uploading my Geneva photos. I'll probably post the thread tonight, then start working on Vancouver pictures tomorrow.

This photo was just featured in this gallery by someone called Yahoo! Editors' Picks.

It's like reaching explore, but based on merit instead of hype.

Quick question. I was thinking of purchasing a Canon T2i pretty soon. Im going to mainly do city photography and landscapes. What lenses should I use and if so which do you recommend? Thanks guys!
