Home Shutterbug Strasse

A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

Good plan

199.108.55.40

The 50mm will give you great available light possibilities (equivalent 35mm film camera 80mm f1.4 or 1.8!) and the 28-135mm Canon is an IS (image stabilized) lens that will allow 2-3 stops lower shutter speeds when engaged, a very cool "walking around" lens and not overly expensive or heavy. Then all you need camera-wise is a good, high capacity compact flash memory card. My pick would be the new Lexar 1GB 32X card for about $400, or at least a 512MB from Lexar or SanDisk.

Next step is learning Photoshop and color management.Check the tutorials and forums at:

And at some point you're going to NEED to calibrate your computer monitor with a hardware/software combo. Relax, enjoy, you're gonna have some FUN!
