  1. Rebel SL1 50mm lens
  2. Well, we took a friend trip to Bolivar this past weekend and took a lot of shots. I made a few blunders and am wondering what the fix(es) are? I'm continuing to have trouble with subject focusing. I'm on "Evaluative metering" with the "Sports" preseting. Sure, there might be some camera shake but it's happening on posed pictures as well with the camera focusing on the T-shirts vs. faces. I made sure to half click the center dot on faces, but it still wasn't focusing correctly How do y'all combat lens/camera fogging? Every time I took the camera outside, it would be fogged for a ridiculously long time which made me miss a lot of shots or, if I took them, they were just foggy/cloudy At some point during some shooting, the camera changed to the "monochromatic" setting. I was just rapid firing a lot of pictures b/c the kids are tough to keep still, so I didn't realize it until the end of the shoot. Is there anyway for me to change this after the fact?
  3. This thread is getting really square
  4. Would you say...that would get you off on the right foot?
  5. I found it odd and disgusting that, even after JB was fired, the AD continue to defend his behavior as "it's just a product of his upbringing" and basically dismiss it altogether
  6. That was actually a question I had. Do you mind sharing what you paid for it? Maybe it's the angle, but it looks smaller than 30'. I actually went out to measure mine to reconfirm and it definitely is ~~32' x 15'. Anything you would have changed after-the-fact? If I go gabled roof, I think it would need to have more of a pitch so that it doesn't look funny w/ the surrounding roof design/structure.
  7. Lol. I love on the last episode when they show his house on Zillow. For how much he brags about all his shit....it's a $150K house.
  8. "We got a back fucking nucleus!!!" -- JB Uh....who's gonna tell him what the nucleus is of any football program?
  9. Well, we just refinanced so it looks like we'll be in this house for a bit longer. One of the commitments I needed to make was to improve things around the house, update master bath, pantry, and probably build either a pergola or a covered roof cable thing. The last one is what I want to focus on for this thread. Has anyone done this recently? Did any particular factor play part in you choosing a pergola vs. a gabled roof extension? My patio is approximately 30" x 15"...maybe a little larger. I haven't decided if I want the entire patio covered or not, but we get a bunch of sun in the evening that just bakes the backyard. I'm in far N DFW if that matters
  10. Was the guy losing his shit in the end of episode 5 King, the same guy that got a concussion? I just watched the next episode...yup...crazy
  11. What should be my starting point for exposure? Assuming not a lot of movement from the subject. Also, the grass appears pretty sharp in the picture, wouldn't it also be blurry from shake? Not arguing. Just trying to learn. From what I've watched on YouTube, a good iso starting pt for outside is 100, with maybe f8? I was playing w all modes at the time so I'm not sure which one for that particular picture
  12. I guess I didnt specify in the post, but I was looking for feedback. Certain elements appear blurry. How do I crisp that up?
  13. I'm going to go w tapa for now. Canon EOS Rebel SL1 Iso 100, f/18, 1/25, 50 mm
  14. I don't know what's going on but they've disabled new account signup for people. I don't know if I want to post on imgur -- particularly just due to privacy and I don't want pictures of my daughter (she's 2, pervs) floating around the interwebs.
  15. And the DNT is raising rates this year....fuckers.
  16. We're doing close to the same trip in August. Flying into SJC on a Saturday and driving down to Big Sur for a few days and then up to Napa to depart SFO on that Thursday. I'll probably ask a few questions and I work on the itinerary with the first being, is there anything to see on the way down from SJC to Carmel or should we just plan on doing a straight shot to Carmel? Our biggest stops are going to be Carmel, Big Sur, and Napa. We might spent some time in SF, but for some reason that city just doesn't appeal to me too much.
  17. What's a good (free) photo hosting site where I can post some of my photos here for advice? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  18. Sadly, we bought it second hand many years ago so I dont think i have the original packaging. Is there anything that's dummy proof?
  19. I did this exact job. a multitool makes things easier. I replaced w PVC to prevent future problems.
  20. Mornin' folks. Camera rookie here who has decided to actually use the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 he bought for his wife over 2 years ago that she has never touched. I took about 75 pictures over 4th weekend w/ an EFS 18-55 mm and a 50 mm lenses. The pictures do look great, but I made a small mistake..apparently I shot them in RAW format. I have rapidly browsed this thread for some information but want to know what is an okay processing software that is beginner friendly. I've seen recs for LightRoom but the monthly subscription is a little unappealing, even if it's $10/mo. Are there any thoughts on Luminar? They're running a special for $60 and I'm drawn to it with the "Accidential AI" function. I'm new to this so talk to me like I'm dumb.
  21. I buy the green costco bag. Yes, they will take back any product as long as at least half of it remains
  22. Twas delicious
  23. What do yall typically pull your turkey breasts at?
  24. Found it -- page 8...delete thread
  25. The search function isn't working for me on the website or Tapa. I'm looking for the cancer thread and can't find it other than the 1 on page 1 of DT that only has 2 pages. Can someone help me out?
