Official Canon DSLR Information Thread

I've had my Canon T3i for a couple months ago. I have been doing a lot of research on my own, and since I've been on Newschoolers I consistently see people asking/and sharing information about what they have learned or have taught. This might go up in smoke or it might do really well. Let's make this the CANON DSLR HOME. Bring all of your information here and share what you have learned so everybody can put their 2 Cents in and share what problems they have been having. I'll start it off with a couple of my crappy pictures i have taken to critique.

way to many threads are made on Canon DSLR Photography & Cinematography

It was a good effort, but this would make the information terribly hard to sort through

Unfortunately. I do agree with you. Maybe a topic a little more specific?

This covers too broad of a spectrum.

What exactly is it you want to talk about DSLR wise?

To answer your question, it's preference. I'd suggest going outside and playing around with it. I'm currently using cinestyle for most stuff or super flat when I have over and underexposed areas

haha i'm glad to be back on NS. I personally base in just Photography...not videography. I would love to talk about general lighting, composition and exposure in an everyday use type of format. Anybody? Nothing extremely specific i just want to learn. I know there are people on here that can run circles around me so why not take a thing or two in?

i keep my exposure comp underexposed by a stop. i like darker shots, and it's less likely to give you settings that blow your highlights. easier to brighten up then recover highlights imo.

You join 'em and it pretty much works like a small forum, except you don't bother other people with whatever you're posting and only post about what the cult is about.

Aka, we could use one for talk about camera's, lenses, gear, settings and what not.

Not a place to ask for critique's and ratings and what not.

so if we made one about DSLRs, it would be like making a more specific M&A that only talks about DSLRs, lenses and equipment? i think that would help a lot.

COLOR GRADING!!!

I am having a hard time figuring out what in my footage needs to be changed. more specifically the mids, highlights and blacks. i am fine with the whites.

maybe if someone knows a good tutorial in color, or a the color grading stuff in fcp7?

people like me. i mean one day. but i believe that photography should be very well understood until you venture into videography. unless im wrong. which i might be.
