^ not bad, but it looks like you need to apply some lemon oil on the finger board next time you replace strings

How did you know that? I used a Canon EF50mm f/1.4 @ f/2 for that shot on a 30D. Shot in RAW and the color temp was set @ 3000K... well, I love red, so I raised the red level a bit for that one.

Ahh, your Exif said 50mm, and that you were using a 30D...so guessed it was either coincidence that you were at that length, or that you were using either the canon 50mm 1.4 primer or the cheaper canon 50mm 1.8 primer.

I have the 50mm 1.8 primer that I use with my 400D, it's cheap and cheerful...but would love the 1.4 primer as an upgrade at some point! how do you find it? great photo man!

Ahhh... I am not aware of that info is displayed.

I got my EF50mm f/1.4 in the summer of 2005. It is a GREAT lens, and I think any Canon user should consider owning one! The DOF and sharpness are both awesome to say the least.

So do you usually shoot in Jpeg or RAW? I am only recently starting to shoot in RAW, and I wonder why I didn't start doing that sooner.

RAW usually, I like to dabble in a bit of HDR photography and everyone reccommends RAW for it due to the higher color range and less compression, although with the 400D and fairly cheap lenses i'm not sure the difference is noticable.

I'll have to pick up a 1.4 when I upgrade to a full frame body!

You know? An affordable full frame D-SLR that does not suck like the 5D is what I have been waiting for... originally there were rumors said that either a 5D Mark II or a 7D was going to be released back in Feb. Of course it didn't happen, and they only released a new entry level 450D. Now I am hoping Canon would eventually release an affordable FF D-SLR later this summer.

Any recommendations for easy to use & inexpensive software for HDR?
