FYI for the guy/gal asking:

About the 18-135mm lens

I've owned the 18-55mm, 55-200mm and 18-135mm. The 18-135mm is the WORSE kit lens Nikon ever made. DO NOT GET IT!

The 18-135mm distorts images, messes up colour and is really expensive for such a piece of sh--.

First get the 50mm f1.8 (used, ebay - US100.00). It's cheap, great, sharp, perfect colour. Most importantly, it will teach you about getting into the right spot and finding the right angles. No zoom tho . depends on your perspective.

Then you can add on a lot of stuff cheaply. EG: telelconvertor, for more distance; reversible mount and the lens becomes a macro lens; fisheye adaptor etc.

Benefit 2: the threading is 52mm. So filters are easier and cheaper to get, in stark contrast to the 67mm filters for the 18-135mm.

Since this is a "post your shots" thread.. here...



Shot with a Canon PowerShot A590 IS, f4, 1/200sec, ISO-80.
This cam cost less than any of my SLR lenses, performs perfectly, does video and fits in my pocket!

on another note, anyone ever tried magic lantern custom firmware?

been researching it and plan to do it once I get my T2i.

[pugboy]

usually them cheaper zooms have a compromise
at either the ends, middle and most likely worst wide open
worked around you can likely take very good pics

Horizon n stuff bent up, buh screw that lol.

[eViLwOn]

@meccalli, nice pics!

[Stephon.]

*noob question alert*
@meccalli the first and last pics, did you snap it like that, or did you edit it in photoshop?

[meccalli]

Yeah some hella sloppy editing right there on all pics from that set..trained eyes would see it. Thats what happens after you go to school and do chem all day lol.. but generally, my pictures look very similar, most of my post processing involves picking up the slack for teh lack of my equipment..i've been meaning to get some nd and gradient filters for this kinda stuff so..you grab a paint brush and paint in white over a black mask that you've inverted over a curve layer that either lightens or darkens the image in a dynamic, non destructible manner.if you would like i can give you some of my psd files. Not meaning to buss some editing files of teh pros but im so tired right now i really don't care LOL j/k..maybe :p
