multiple exposures manually blended via layers. Obviously not my own idea but something I've seen others do really well.

soooo HDR

In this case a 6'1" 190lb asian.

As long as that's not female we're good because I like my asian girls fun size but 18+

nope a "faster" lens does not mean more light. you want a bigger aperture (lower f-stop number) to let more light in, and this gives the very sought after professional blurry look (bokeh). .

A faster lens means it lets in more light! So your wrong about that but right about aperture. It's the same thing. Fast lens = bigger aperture = lower f stop. F2.8 lens is faster than an f4.0
It's a ratio I think.

soooo HDR

exactly what i was thinking :rofl:

Yeah yeah fine, by definition it is a higher dynamic range than the sensor can capture in a single frame... buuuuut it's not dropped into photomatix with crazy highlight/shadow detail and halos.

Theres nothing wrong with the aperture it's just out of focus on purpose. Do you see the shape of the light bokeh? Its in the shape of the aperture blades like a pentagon shape. The higher end lenses have circular aperture blades that don't do that as much. There is a neat product that make the bokeh into crazy shapes like stars and shit.

I'd think the 18-55 that came with the xsi has the circular diaphragm blades. Is that what you mean by the bokeh? I've acutally never taken it off the body. I have a 35mm prime and a 70-210 zoom for an old canon AE-1 film that seem to have only one set of blades.

Thanks for the criticism, I'mnew to digital and havent been able to figure out PS yet.

Slowly getting better at using this camera. I am using a Canon Rebel XSi with the standard 18-55 lens or my 75-200. I am eventually gonna pick something up a bit nicer down the road.

How much?

I may have decided to keep it and sell the XSi, will keep you posted. Will post more car pictures later, or some pictures from my Florida trip I just got back from.

Your right it does. And bokeh is just the blur, so when lights are blurred it makes big circle. What 35 prime is it?

Standard Canon FD 50 f/1.4 that came with the camera in 1981. I switched up the numbers with the film width.
