Thought y'all would enjoy these.

Daughter wanted to use my boy as the subject for a photo contest. She is a senior and the photo journalism editor at school.

Well, she has some pretty high end stuff from school. I am not sure what body it is but I know she had an L series 70-200 F2.8 lens mounted.

That is a $2k Canon lens!

Yeah, I have had my eye on that lens but she gets to check it out from her high school. Of course, she shoots a lot of the sporting events and such.

Unless your wife wants to spend a lot of time actually learning how to be a photographer comma tell her to get a Canon g-series. She'll be much more likely to use it and it'll be easier to carry around without the bulk of a DSLR.

Thanks ENG and Guitar. I doubt she's interested in learning. Just had our first child so that's the impetus. Trying to stay around $800. Hope to find a deal on Black Friday.

I've got the Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS (first version) for sale for $1000. Extra hood, white Canon bag. Has some paint flaking off as they do, but otherwise works perfectly.

G1X II is about $800. G16 or G15 would be perfectly great, though.

I have thousands of dollars worth of camera gear and use my phone 99% of the time.

Thats a really good deal on that lens and there is no doubt it is well taken care of

Let me know when you switch back to canon and start unloading all those nikon goodies you posted on here last year. I need a 70-200 2.8.

Nikon just released a new 70-200. Not outside the realm of possibility I will upgrade.

But unless Canon pays me, I don't see myself switching back

Not real sure I will be in a position to buy it but would like the chance if you do.

agreed with the phone comment... we're on our second Nikon DSLR but I let my son take it to college bc we just don't use it like we did the first one when the kids were young; wife did just get the iPhone7+ for the upgrade camera feature

Guitarsoup opinion needed here, but I do know that the rule of thirds in photography wins a lot. That's why that picture is more aesthetically pleasing.

I like the 3rd one the best, but the 4th could be better if cropped a little differently. No need to see that much of the rocky banks of the river.

Just think of NOT bullseye-ing the image. Offset the focal point and get some good background, whether in focus or not.
