Photograph and Camera talk

It is the bird bath in my backyard that could use a… major?... cleaning, haha!
Thanks, well IMO keep the 18-55 as you really will not be making that much money off of it and wait until you buy a new lens before you sell it since zoom lenses are there for when prime lenses can't get the job done, if you know what I mean.

the last shot, not to get you into too technical a conversation since I only speak three languages (english, broken english, &edjit) . . . but how the hell did you do that?
really nice

ahhhhhhh

Thanks Monday! Well basically what I did was set my aperture halfway between low and high and pointed my lens towards the sun to only get a little of the sun in the photo but only enough to create that effect.
Then I went into photoshop and converted the image to black and white (using a 'special' method) this way I could then use the brus to fill in the certain areas I wanted the color to be in.
Edit: Here is the original photo actually so you can see what I changed.

Thanks Rafa! I am really liking the second picture. So suttle and reminds me of a picture taken from a film camera.
Also I am thinking about not keeping the lens. I am starting to think I should have gone with a prime either 50L or 35L. If anyone could convince me otherwise please tell me. Then again I haven't really been able to use this lens to its full potential, but I also don't mind having to walk up to things to manually focus and I am thinking portrait photography is the way to go! I am going to be using my lens at 35mm the next couple of days.

edit: I am going with my heart and sending the lens back in exchange for the 50 1.2. I konw I have a crop camera but I put tape and used it at 50mm, to be honest I will be fine with a 50.

And a bonus.. a video!

I hope so too Holla! But luckily I have a 30-day money back, so if it doesn't satisfy then I can always exchange it.
Jaco- yeah I am pretty sure… It doesn't help that I don't have a place near me where I can try out the lenses. But I didn't not like the 24-70, just that I don't think it was for me not to mention it was a brick, I just think I am looking for a portrait lens and yea I know you can get them a lot cheaper but It is a lot easier to do a straight up exchange for the 50L.
I have kept the focal length at 50mm and I think it is fine, I will hopefully be getting a FF body in the next year as well, but like I said if the lens just isn't right I still have another couple of weeks to exchange it.
