so high ISO definitely isn't as clean, but you avoid hot spots a lot better with the 5DII |

400 ISO on the T1i still prints really well, and i've printed a few from when i had that body. It's just the modern age of pixel peeping has made us greedy. I forced my buddy with his 60D to take a shot at 1600ISO (which he was mad at me for) then i printed it as a 5x7 and he loved how it turned out. You're never going to see the noise on most of these cameras below 400ISO when printed at a normal photo album size. You might even be able to do a really clean looking 4x6 at 800ISO on the T1i. I never tried to go that high with it. It always scared me. |

What was shutter speed? ISO seems high unless SS was high.
I'd shoot Av (aperture preferred) and dial the ISO to get the SS that I needed. Anyway, nice bokeh and shallow DOF. Dave

it was a 1 shot deal unfortunately she had to get back to school. and thanks, I'm liking how the 135 F2 is handling the bokeh i think it's going to help out a lot on photoshoots with brick walls around and such. |

Dave, have you gone through the videos from Zack's workshop? It's kinda interesting how he slams Av mode a ton. I use Av mode a lot too, but I guess it depends on what you're shooting.

And since watching the Zack stuff, i've toyed around with setting my exposure and just leaving it unless i had to move it because i moved into different lighting, it's definitely worth while. |

This would have been an excellent picture if the damn boats didn't rock in the water. I've tried to sharpen it some (which helped a little) and Topaz DeBlur (which I can't get to really work at all)...but it's the best I could get it.
I should see if I can take that boat out all together.

boat on the right looks like it's moving fast just sitting still...
any way to take down the exposure in the foreground a little? maybe do like Mark does and do a soft light layer that you paint over... |

couldn't save the blown out area on the right sadly, but i managed to equalize a few of the exposures around the picture other then that.

glad you shared, I've been running out of things to shoot in my apartment with all the rain we've been having, so i'm going a bit stir crazy... so maybe i'll start shooting all my lenses in different scenarios...

I tightened up the boats a bit and toned down the exposure in the foreground. There might be more you can do with the RAW files. Blur usually manifests itself as a ghost image just past the edge of the actual object. Sometimes, as in the case of the boat, you can zoom in really close and paint out the ghost lines using the surrounding colors. Doesn't work with faces, but it can save solid objects like the boat.

nice shot Matt. One thing that bothered me is the black vertical line in your bokeh. Perhaps that's the corner of a wall? Either way, maybe it'll look better if you clone it out.
