Quick Photo Shoot at the Beach

[GTaudiophile]

Not enough fill flash. Work on your lighting. Consider a CFL-based umbrella setup behind a soft white diffusing cloth. Connect to your wireless lens trigger and voila.

This. My lens is a $500 tamron & $450 canon f1.8 85mm

The 85mm 1.8 is a damn fine lens. I haven't spend the cash on the L version even though I'd love to. I did splurge for the 135L though for portraits.

Yes it is, but jesus, the real beast is the Tamron. Performs just as well as L, but a third of the cost.

I've owned a non-Canon lens once. That was enough.

The ones that really bother me are the ones with the zoom in/out reversed.

I understand. But don't let one crappy generic lens scare you away from everything else.

Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 is actually widely touted as a spectacular lens, especially from POTN Canon photography forum. I listened to them and they were 100% right.

Check out the amazing reviews, the real samples, & price.

Nice pics, I'd recommend some of the photography websites though for more professional and constructive criticism.

Check out POTN, OP. Google it. GREAT resource, I learned a lot from there.

Seems like it would be too long when in front of a 1.6x crop sensor.

Might still be doable outdoors, but I'd imagine it'd be really hard indoors.

That's why you put it on a full frame camera. I like it equally well on both types. Even on my crop body I just use it when I can zoom with my feet.

I have the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. Excellent lens. Unfortunately nothing similar to it for a FF camera.
