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:

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By Steven P. · Posted

      At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By Captain_Eric · Posted

      I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
