<p>the 15mm is on my camera 70% of the time, but i use it on a film camera, it's not so good on a 1.6 crop. which is my xt.</p>

<p>the 14mm, the 17-40, the 70-200 2.8 IS, the 180mm, the 35mm, and the 400mm 2.8</p>

<p>well thank you all for advice, im going to go ahead and buy a flash and cord and just try handheld for a while. but one more thing, the cheapest canon flash, does it allow you to go past 200 on your shutter speed?</p>

<p>i am very interested in macro, however i have never made one good macro shot. my main interest is in insects.<br /> i use a canon rebel xt 8mp(is this enough to crop if needed?)<br /> and a canon 100mm f/2.8, non IS version.<br /> and use on camera flash at times.</p>

<p>i have seen that people use extension tubes, do you use them all at once? or what goes on there.<br /> and also about flash, could i buy a speedlite, or do i need the canon macro ring flash, or twin flash.</p>

<p>i am not trying to buy my way into macro photography, i just simply need to know if this equipment is essential to getting great results. or if i just need to check my technique.</p>

<p>so ive read for portraits with girls their shoulders should never be straight across, but what if you want a photo of her from directly in front from waiste up, and her face foward, does the model need to un align her shoulders i guess you'd say, even if it might look a little akward, or should you just move to a slight side angle</p>

<p>well i took yalls advice and just asked, i'll be doing some next weekend. wish me luck!</p>

<p>I have always wanted to try out nude photography, not in studio, but outdoors with landscapes, buildings in the background, etc.... my question is for people who do nude photography, how do you go about finding models, and in the beginning explaining to them that your practicing, without sounding like just some dude with a camera that just wants her to take her clothes off. i say her because, no offense guys, there is nothing attractive about us lol.</p>

<p>who needs a nice car or nice place to live anyway, buy the canon 14mm L series.</p>

<p>p.s, how come no pictures posted?</p>

<p>just tell me what your job is, so i can have the money for all that.</p>

<p>I've done some searches in the forums and can not find an exact answer, maybe im not looking hard enough, so forigive me if this has been discussed a billion times.</p>

<p>i am looking to get into macro photos. i'll be using the macro lens on a rebel xs. <br>

i will not be investing in any ring lights or the twin flashes for the macro photos.</p>

<p>so in my opinion i need good working distance, i have been considering the sigma 180, or the tamron 180, ive owned the canon 100 and it was super sharp, but like i said i want more working distance.</p>

<p>my budget is around $800, before i purchase any lens, i was wondering if<br>

A. do i really that much working distance for macro(i will focusing on mainly insects)<br>

B. if the extra working distance isnt necessary, what about the sigma 105, or tamron 90<br>

and also a technical question about macro photography, how do people achieve the macro shots on here with insect 100% in focus, is it generally at 1.1 magnification, and good use of d.o.f, or focused from less than 1.1 and then cropped.</p>

<p>i was thinking what if someone had a disabled right hand, but loved taking pictures.</p>

<p>do they make camera bodies with the shutter on the left.</p>

<p>thank you for all your help, now i have some pro's and cons to weigh out.</p>

<p>Well he had a picture of it, ill go back and see if I can find the link, but thank you.</p>

<p>Hi, I have been doing some reading on past forums about the canon 50mm 1.4. It sounds like a reasonable lens, however in one forum, someone mentions there is a bend in the resulting photograph with this lens. I was just wondering if this person has bad luck, and maybe their lens was defected, or is this true for all of the 50mm 1.4. Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>2 more things, i think some of you are confused, i dont own any lenses but the 85 1.8, the other ones i have owned, but traded off to keep the cycle going. 2nd, about the language issue, i totally forgot photographers were trying to set a pure and holy example, your all just a bunch of perfect people roaming the earth, as the catholic priest were thought to be.</p>

<p>i love this place.</p>

<p>p.s why does it have to be pg, i dont think any 12 year old kids have a portfolio on here.</p>

<p>yes im bi polar, no drugs, i was an addict before photography, they say drugs alter your mind even after your done..................</p>

<p>because white walls are boring.</p>

<p>steve and josh, you may to try to keep it pg, but they rate a movie R, its either because of language and or you can see some titties. and the rest of you, i wasnt aware you were english teachers, ill study next time.</p>

<p>ross, that book seems interesting, but i have no spare money, i owe 1400 dollars for this lens. thank you though.</p>

<p>haha peter i get it, i get it.</p>
