Canon T1i Or XSi - Kit Lens Or Upgrade - That is the Question

Image : http://www.flickr.com

This could be you. You just have a few too many decisions to make about how to spend your money, right. First, you need to make that all important choice about which camera you will buy. Will it be the Canon Rebel T1i or the Rebel Xsi?

You are researching like you never have before, waffling back and forth between the two cameras because you can't decide if you need the video of the T1i or you just want to take great still photos, which the XSi will give you for over $100 less.

You decide on the T1i... Whew! Then you notice all the discussion about the kit lens in those camera forums.

"Wait, are you telling me I need to consider buying another lens in addition to the kit lens?" you ask. "Isn't there another way?"

Consider this. Get one lens instead of 2 or 3, but make it a good one. That way, you can keep the same lens on the camera for your wide angle landscapes or family photos, and just zoom in with your telephoto to take that action shot at the soccer game.

Canon (and Nikon) play the same game. They put a pretty good lens on their Rebel cameras as a kit lens. You get the camera and realize you want more... either quality or zoom capacity. So you are stuck in the position that many new DSLR owners find themselves... Which ADDITIONAL lens should I buy?

I have a suggestion for you. One word - Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Zoom Lens - OK, I lied, it's not one word. But it is a powerful suggestion. Image quality is awesome, it's great for wide angle and zoom, it has Optical Stabilization (same as anti-shake), and it will make you happy!

Nuf said.

Common Seals, Kildonan Bay, Isle of Arran

On my first visit to Arran, to walk the 65 mile coastal way, I was fascinated by the seals at Kildonan bay. I did not have enough time to film these magnificent animals then. On this visit I spent some 6 hours, over 2 days, observing and filming. Captured with the panasonic lumix GH1 with macro four thirds adapted sigma 150-500mm lens with a kenko 1.4x teleconvertor lens and on day 2 with the sony sd700. Stills taken with a nikon D90 with the sigma lens.

This is a great lens for someone starting to build a lens collection. I have had great luck photographing lilies as well as portraits. Macro option makes it a great alternative to a standard lens.

Lens is lightweight but still has good construction.

Macro option can only be turned on at 90 mm this was a little confusing at first.

Great pictures great price.

Traditional Photography Printing

Printing in the darkroom, is quite different from developing negatives. To do so correctly you need some specialized, although reasonably priced and easily available equipment. To begin this final installment of the Darkroom series I want to start by mentioning the tools, equipment, and chemicals you need to work on your darkroom printing.

The Tools:

Asafe box (a box that has a lightproof seal). The paper comes in many forms such as Resin Coated, Fiber, and Canvas.
Enlarger: An enlarger is the main piece of equipment needed to print from your negatives. The enlarger works by projecting the negative about the photo paper. Each enlarger is fitted with a light bulb, lens, film holder and filter tray, although some enlargers have a built in filter system. Different lenses need to be used depending on the film (i.e. 35mm, medium or large format).
Filters: Filters are used to adjust the contrast and tones of the negative being projected onto the photo paper.
Infrared light: Since you will be using light sensitive material, you need to work in your darkroom using infrared light instead of normal light conditions. Infrared allows you to see, but it does not affect the papers.
Developing trays: Developing trays are needed to contain the chemicals to develop the paper. They vary in size from 8"x10" and up.
Thermometer: You will need a thermometer to ensure that the correct temperature is reached while developing.
 Beakers & Stirrers: As with developing film you will need some beakers and stirrers to prepare the chemicals; stirrers are simply long plastic tools that mix the chemicals.
Bath: A water bath is needed to wash the final print.
Notebook: Printing and working in the darkroom means you have no exit data to help you with exposure times. Instead, you will need a notebook to record your data.
Dodging/Burning tools: These are easily made tools that allow you to control the light hitting certain areas of the paper in the enlarger. I will go through the dodging/burning technique later in next articles.
