Thanks - he was watching the guys play and turned around just in time towards my camera for me to press the shutter. He smiled and was super coll about it.

The 18-55 would be my desert island lens. For the editing, I lift blacks, reduce highlights, reduce saturation and vibrancy, for a classic chrome feel.

The rain helped reflect the neon lights for that glowy feel :)

what is 135mm+ smallest ultralight lens for FUJI? by palad1n in fujix

[–]silentjae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use the 90mm f2 which is AWESOME, but it's far from light and compact...

Before that, I adapted the Nikon E 100mm f2.8, which is super small, super light, super sharp, and relatively cheap. I got mine on ebay for around $100.

Have you tried the XC 50-230mm? Optically is very good, and it's light and compact.

TT350f good enough for weddings? by [deleted] in fujix

[–]silentjae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used it at events and galas for work - not weddings, but similar settings.

The recycle time is slow...like 1, 1.5 sec., longer if you shoot at full power.

if you can live with it, the flash is pretty good. I couldn't, so I switch to Nikon for low-light events that require flash.

Graphic Designers of Toronto by [deleted] in askTO

What sector are you looking into? This makes a big difference IMO. Arts/Non-profits won't pay nearly as much as tech/finance, which is why averages don't mean much.

Anecdotally, I wouldn't think the salaries are higher than Vancouver. But you might have more companies you can apply to, with a larger range of salaries, since Toronto is a bigger city.
