That lens tho! 500mm F4, probably price of a small car, the bokeh is incredible. But kudos to you for nailing the focus, exposure and shutter like that. I wouldnt know where to start

very nice bird shots! different to most. grabbed my attention

Die wind was dood still! toe ek terug kaap to ry, was dit veels erg. Jammer as my afrikaans nie te goed is nie

Took these 2 today in Betty's Bay. Canon 70D and 10-18mm STM

Definately the sensor that does exposure, could just be intermittent. Shoot fully manual, and see if you get the same issue

Great shots for your first studio outing! I quite enjoy studio work myself, I also like setting up home studios and location studio shoots. Its quite addictive!

Hey Madone The current crop of STM/Kit lenses are very capable. Much better sharpness than older kit lenses. The STM (silent) is ideal for video filming, that the 70D excels at, though I never used. The first question is, what would you like to shoot? You current 18-55mm lens would be great as an every day lens, so my suggestion is identify your interests, and buy accordingly. I for example, love doing people and portraits. So my goto lenses are my 50mm F1.4 (about R4k) and an 85mm F1.8 (I think around R5500). If I had the room, and could always get away with it, my 85mm will never leave my camera. A good prime, at least one, at a zoom length you like shooting is one of the best lenses you can get. You will be amazed with the image quality and the ability to blur the background. Avoid superzooms, if image quality is paramount (18-300mm). Their optics, to achieve that range really suffers. they also dont allow much light in. There is a reason why pro zoom lenses are physically that big (and expensive). If you want a long zoom for general shooting, the 50-250mm STM lens is very capable and sharp. If you have the budget, and want your zoom to double as a portrait, or low light sports, get the 70-200mm Canon (or tamron at half the price). It all depends on your budget. I went through all the lenses above, I had a 70-200mm, I have a 50-250mm, I tried a 18-300mm If you want to try landscapes, look at the 10-18mm STM lens. Its relatively cheap, but very capable.

Mirrorless cameras are fantastic, as long as you have the right lenses. I hope to get one soon. But it won't replace my dslr. I prefer the feel of a dslr on more planned shoots.

The very cheap canon 10-18mm is actually very acceptable This image had no lens correction done at all.

Wyatt, I dont disagree, but 24mm on crop is relatively long. As an all round lens, you might find it too long, especially if you walking about and want to capture street photography etc... I talk of experience, as I often end up using the lower range of my 17-50mm. Also, a 24-70 DOES NOT become a 24-105 on crop, it becomes a 38-105mm equivalent. 38mm is not that wide. I just dont want the buyer to invest lots of money and then realise they missing a very important focal range. What you also need to know is that the 17-50mm F2.8 (by canon or tamron) performs better on a cropped body than a full frame lens would, as they designed for those sensors as they cropped specific lenses. They use all the effective glass available as apposed to full frame lens where you cramming 20megapixel of information through 40% less glass. And yes, you might say that a crop body isnt for landscapes. I completely disagree, as a NON-PRO, i couldnt justify the price premium of full frame, but that didnt stop me from getting and ultra wide at R2999 and start enjoying landscape shooting. It all depends on banna and what he wants to shoot.

Hi Banna i have the 70D I do all my photography with it. A few notes! 1) The 24-70 is a great lens BUT its long for the 70D, being a crop sensor! this is very important. the 24 is more of a 35mm. the 17-50mm F2.8 Tamron is the equivalent lens for the 70D. I have this lens, its cheaper than the 24-70mm and performs amazingly well and sharp. 2) I highly recommend the 70D as being the best cropped camera in the Canon Range (except for the 7D Mark 2, which is alot more and a different price bracket completely). 3) My lens selection is the very cheap (and very capable) ultra wide 10-18mm Canon STM, Tamron 17-50mm F2.8, Canon 50mm F1.4, Canon 85mm F1.8.

Possibly pushed a bit far to show the effect, or possibilities, which works 100%

I must be honest, and its purely a taste thing, but the After in that image escapee.. feels way too overdone IMO.

HDR is one of the most dangerous tools out there. Used properly, its merely meant to change an image from something a camera can see to what a human can see*. But in the hands of many, it gets abused to absurd levels. *Humans can see a stop or two more dynamic range than a camera. So when you looking at a sunset, it looks amazing, Then you take a pic of it and all you see is a great sky with very underexposed land. HDR is where you take images at different exposures, and you combine them. Despite all this, do an overblown HDR image, post it on facebook, que a million likes, so what do I know

The first 2 landscapes I ever did with my 10-18mm STM el cheapo wide zoom. Shot with Canon 70D, an ND filter. 2 exposures, and a tripod. Llandadno Cape Town

Great Stuff!

So wasn't much solidarity in our group lol.people just went for it. Was fun tho

Where can i find a fireman helmet to ride with

It makes sense, very little they could do. Very dissapointed yes. Instead, lets just ride and make the most of it. gonna be one moerse print!

Its little to do with Breaking bad, its a "prequel" if you must. I really liked the first episode, odd pacing, and you not sure what to make of it, ended so well. Ep 2 is really good. Hooked

Better call saul - very good Topgear - not as good as it used to be, but still watch em all Walking dead - seems to have picked up again Brooklyn 99 - funniest show on air atm

Epic Bike shop, cant recall exact price, Im sure its a standard price, i used them because I also wanted some tune ups done and so far their advice has been great.

Needed to get a new front tire, ended up switching to 25mm both front and rear. Mavic Yksion's. Rides notably more comfortable

Suikerbossie is CAT4, its a glorified hill. As for this news, sucks, I was hoping to come first in the Argus, there goes that chance

From Kenilworth, try Epic Bike shop, not too far. Its in wynberg mainroad.
