Is your friend associated with a bunch of pro photographers or something? Who would give someone poo poo about owning a "bottom-of-the-line camera"

I'm not a pro photographer, but here's my two cents: Always keep trying to learn more, and always keep practising. Try to find photos you like & figure out how they achieved the shot. Whether it's the composition, the lighting, the camera, whatever... once you find out how they did it, you can try implementing parts of that into your own work. It sounds like you're on the right track. Just keep learning and practising and you will come out better than you were before.

ExecuDork posted:(i.e. golden hour, where everything always looks wonderful!). It's funny you post this, it reminds me of how recently my wife and I were on our honeymoon taking some photos before we had to leave, bright and early in the morning. And god drat, even with a crappy little point & shoot, our photos were looking way better than anything we did during the previous week.

This is a really dumb easy question, most likely, but here we go: I am looking to buy my first DSLR, I'm thinking of going with the T3i One store sells two models: Canon Rebel T3i 18MP DSLR Camera With 18-55mm IS Lens Kit - $569 Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18MP DSLR with Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II Lens Kit - $649 The Op recommends buying a 50mm lens in addition to the kit lens... so should I just go ahead and buy the 50mm model? Or get the cheaper model, and buy a 50mm lens later on down the line?

HolyDukeNukem posted:I would wait on the 50mm. Mainly because you can find the 50mm for around $100 and it looks like the store is overpricing the lens. Also on a crop sensor the 50mm could be a little tight depending on what you shoot. Having the flexibility of the kit lens will be less inhibiting in learning how to shoot. Makes sense to me, thanks!

While we're talking about flash, anyone have a recommendation for a good first flash purchase? I have a Canon T3i

This might be a better question for the lighting thread, but since it's a newbie question I thought I'd toss it out here: I have a Canon Rebel T3i. What should my first flash be? I'd like something that I can use detached from the camera, other than that I'm not sure what I'd need as someone who is just starting. I'm much more interested in shooting people & portraits than scenery or still life, if that helps.

Mr. Despair posted:Yongnuo 560 is the best way to go if you don't neeeeed TTL (you probably don't!). Really eh? I was reading up on it, and TTL seemed like a handy feature to have... but again, I've never used a flash before so I don't know how hard it is to get used to manual. Basically I don't want to necessarily buy the cheapest flash available and then regret it in a few months. I don't mind paying a bit more for something that will have the features I'll want down the road. But at the same time, the Yongnuo's seem like great starter flashes, rather than dropping like $300 on a Canon flash.

timrenzi574 posted:TTL is great if you're using the flash for on the go photography and balancing with ambient light in changing circumstance. (Just like automatic exposure metering Fair enough! I don't really know what my needs are yet, just that I'd like a flash to mess around with haha. So perhaps the cheaper option is indeed the one to go with for now

Mightaswell posted:T3i has wireless TTL control with the first party flashes. If I were you I would get a 430EXii. They're on deep discount right now and you get all the Canon bells and whistles. It's what I did! Interesting... when you say they're on deep discount, where would this be?

Where do these knockoff lenses come from? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/85mm-Portrai...=item4622ef1d7f I mean, for that price I can only assume it's a knockoff. But do they even work? Wouldn't it be a lot of effort to make a fake Canon lens?

I shot on a t3i for a while and really liked the flip out screen. So I'd lean towards the t5i just for that. This might help you in your comparison? http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-Rebel-SL1-vs-Canon-Rebel-T5i

Does the t5i do much more than the t3i? The t3i was my starter camera and served me well until I wanted to go full frame.
