That setup will probably run you $1500. I'm sure Nikon offers a great camera (D90 or something?) in the same price area, but I'm a canon guy. I'm currently having issues with my old 30D/17-55 setup, seems to produce a lot of soft images at smaller apertures. Frustrating.

The T2i is a great camera, too. You probably wouldn't notice a MAJOR difference on day time shots, depending on the lens. In low light there would be more noise.

Most of my night time shots are handheld (like the Convention Centre pictures I posted earlier), that would be semi-difficult with another camera.

Of course any good editing program can fix things, even the 5D's shortcomings.

If you are experiencing lens distortion, you could try using DxO, and downloading the appropriate lens modules to "fix" it.

Well, to finish off my photo journey from the last few days. I'm back in Calgary now until June 10th, when I'll be back in Vancouver.

Nice photos Locked In and Entheos

Bamboo looks cool. I love bamboo~! I wonder if it is Japanese bamboo

?

Ironically most decorative bamboo in Japan is from Hawaii, because Japanese bamboo grows too big. Many more useless facts where that came from.

SpongeG · #**1572** Posted **May 14, 2010, 10:22 AM**

i was down on east hastings turning onto carrol taking a pic of a building and some woman on the bench started yelling tame about not taking pics down there yada yada yada and she went on and on and me and my friend didn't even stop to listen or look at her - she was yelling about homeless people and you don't belong here and you can't pictures

i was like whatever

Yume-sama · #**1573** Posted **May 14, 2010, 6:26 PM**

What's photography without a bit of danger. For my Canada Place photo, I went down a little set of metal stairs to a "lookout" and there were several people sitting in the corner, out of view from those above, with syringes sticking out of their arms.

They looked at me funny and I only took one shot before running away.

Prime location to shoot up, I suppose...

SpongeG · #**1574** Posted **May 14, 2010, 8:00 PM**

will hastings ever be driveable? haha

Nice pics Sponge, I saw that Acme cafe the other day and really want to try it out.

I've been hassled a few times in the eastern part of the Downtown Eastside (where there's less homeless people out and about, strangely enough) and had a guy who looked like a bouncer (but wasn't) ask me threatening-ly what I was photographing and I just said 'buildings' and that was that. Sometimes people will just yell out at you while you're taking pics but meh, I just ignore them. On the sidewalk and streets you can photograph ANYTHING you want but sometimes ignoring these people is about all you can do to avoid a situation.

Been to Acme a couple of times now, it's good quality food, although not cheap. I almost think it's priced the way it is to keep a certain element out. That said it's between 8-12 for a soup and sandwich, the soups have both been good and their roast beef is one of the best I've had. If you go in you can see a great clock above the door on the inside.
