I love taking pics and all but there is no chance in hell i would ever take my camera into a bar or restaurant and take photos. As a matter of fact anywhere I have ever gone I have never seen anyone else doing it either (other than girls with little cameras taking pics for their myspace). It's just not normal haha. The photos turn out nice but it's just strange to me.

are those with the 50mm?

are you using a tripod? o_O i know the 1.8 is good for low lighting but i didn't think it was THAT good :p

yes they are with the 50mm.. except the outside shots which was using wide angle of the kit lens. And no i wasn't using a tripod.. i certainly would have looked odd carrying a tripod into the restaurant..lol

Actually it is quite normal. I did feel a bit odd at first, but as soon as the waitress came to the table, she asked "Got a new camera i guess" and of course i said yeah and she replied by telling me that alot of people actually bring cameras in here and that she just recently purchased an SLR..lol Not to mention that all the while we were there, there were several other people using cameras as well, as i could tell by the flash. I did not use a flash however, as to not bring too much attention to myself..lol But apparently it is quite common, even though you may not feel it's normal.

yeah i hate the cold too... today was a bit nice though as you can see some of the snow had melted. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit warmer too so i'm thinking of venturing to niagara falls to try to get some nice pics.. :p

thanks for the compliments guys.. i love the shallow dof look.. can't get enough of it. This 50mm f/1.8 lens still has me baffled sometimes.. it seems the pics either come out really good or totally out of focus. As for settings, i mainly keep it on AV mode to control aperture.. if you check out my flickr account you can view the exif info for the pics.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts recently. I'm currently in China - Beijing at the moment. I'm here for a month and then going to Shanghai for 5 months. I've only just taken snaps. Been far too busy. So i don't have anything special to show:

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      By +mram · Posted

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
