Not really the best shots ever, but it's the first few shots i've ever taken with a DSLR.

Wow! Great pictures! So this is the Canon Rebel T2i right? If so, do you recommend this camera for outdoor concert pics? I am going to an Alan Jackson concert (which I have been dying to go to for a long time) in August and I would like the best pics I can get for a decent price. Thanks in advance!

If you can afford it then definitely. I would recommend the 50mm 1.8f mkII and a decent zoom lens if you want to do outdoor concerts

Actually mate those ain't bad at all. I like them. Especially for some reason the first one.

Thanks, I deleted the first 5 or so I uploaded there as they were crap, the rest are what I deemed "acceptable" enough to put on Flickr :p

Good pics, I especially like the challenger front grill close up :)

I really liked the colors. You managed to capture them quite well. Err or the camera maybe. lol. Anyway nice picture.

I have the same camera, It's great. The focus on "

Challenger / SS Camaro" is on your friends back though rather than the cars

:(

Ok, great! Thank you! For this concert I probably won't need much zoom because I will be close to the stage (hopefully no more than 5 rows back).

Yeah I know, I just kinda like the way that one turned out for some reason lol

What do you make of the following two lenses that would come with the camera if I buy it?:

EF-S 18-55mm lens, EF 75-300mm lens

Mods, something is wrong with this thread. Everytime I click edit to edit my post, it is taking me to flickr and showing me someone's pictures. :s

I don't know about the 18-55mm, I've only ever used my friends and I wasn't too thrilled with it... the EF 75-300mm they let me borrow is pretty damn good. Although no image stabilization makes it a tough sell BUT it still takes fantastic shots.

little bit of tweaking to the RAW file in lightroom 4.. those 3 were shot with the 75-300mm, I would recommend either the 75-300mm or possibly the 50mm 1.8 II .. the 50mm is only about $100-120 online depending on where you look.. most of the images on my flickr page are shot with that lens

LOL.

Is it a lovely picture at least?

Take a look at this custom firmware. I use it and its very good.

I've got Magic Lantern installed as well :) I kinda like trap focus, athough its really only designed to get the focus in the middle of the shot. I haven't really played around with it for video recording yet.. I wanna wait til I get a Rode VideoMic first :p

Ok, thank you. I appreciate it. The only trouble is that with the cost of the concert, the cost of the camera, and several other things, I really can't afford another lens right now.

the 18-55mm should do just fine for what you need

[hooko22]

It directs me to the following flickr page: http://www.flickr.co...os/abysal/sets/ lol

Ok the two biggest categories in there are cats and computers. Thus we have to reach the conclusion that the system is directing you to buy a cybernetic cat!

ROFL! I can hear it now! "Me Ow! Me Ow! I'll Be Back!" :D

Ok, thank you. I appreciate it. It may not be professional level results, but if they are great pictures, they will be well worth it! :)

Here it goes again. I don't know why it isn't merging posts like it has in the past for me. :s
