    Default Few pics from today...the car, the house, and the family

    Had the day off today so decided to pull the XTi out with the 12-24 lens since my mom was complaining about the lens not wanting to focus correctly. Seems to be working fine for me...

    looks a tad off to me, may just be me though.




    Never use your pop-up flash with this lens

    the only reason the pop up flash was out was to simulate anything my mom might have tried with the lens...but now that I look at the first 2 pictures and the pictures of the dog I think I might see what you are talking about....tomorrow I will take both cameras out and test the lens out again. I know we have had problems with the XTi focusing but never the 50D

    i have read that with this lens the clarity is fairly soft at f4, but starts to sharpen up around f5.6+

    maybe I will shoot tomorrow around f6 all day and see what I get with it

    if you're gonna shoot a landscape, go f/8 or more, especially if its sunny like that outside. unless you got some kinda foreground you wanna separate
