[quote=RossVolturi;#3644408;1278056728]Those are amazing shots I didn't know an XTi could be this good. While I was glancing through your shots, I was thinking, "Wow check out the balance on this one..and this one.. so on.." I do like like the clarity + the lighting + timing = Professional results Your timing is perfect with the action and everything..Gosh I wonder how hard you positioned yourself for the angles haha thats pretty hard for the soccer photos. Overall, I like the drama in your shots--drama is all about the lighting, (and I would say you got the perfect White Balance.) If you don't mind, I'm curious...What specific lens did you use for the soccer photos??[/quote] Thank you! Haha. I'm glad that even though I'm using the cheapest Canon SLR, I could produce good results. ^^ My sister gave it to me as a graduation gift and even though she has already given me her blessing, I really don't want to replace it just yet because it has a sentimental value. So yep, I'm spending all my money on lenses instead. (Which are more expensive than most Canon SLRs.) >__< That's why I'm broke. Anyway, once again, for you to tell me my shots are "professional results," it's really, really great to know. Although I'm still far from being pro, I'm glad I progress. Haha. My positioning for those photos aren't really that difficult since I haven't taken a photo yet where I used an extreme angle. For the soccer photos, I just knelt down on the ground. I also try my best to make the viewers see the drama and the emotion in the shots. Glad to know it shows! (I'm thankful I attuned myself to natural lighting first.) For the first soccer shot, I used a 70-200mm f/2.8L telephoto zoom lens. For the second shot, I used an ultra-wide zoom 16-35mm f/2.8L.

Invest on lenses instead of upgrading your camera. Although they're relatively more expensive than most SLRs. I'm glad you love it! XD Soccer is teh shit indeed. Haha!
