nothing technically wrong with my technique using zooms, but my primes have much shallower depth of field which I think is more pleasing to look at. All but one of these photos was taken with a prime lens (24/1.4, 50/1.4 or 135/2). Only the one with the horse and carriage was taken with a 70-300L zoom

Noobs should realize that you can get bokeh a couple of ways. With a wide-angle lens, you really need a large aperture. At 80mm or so, then getting close at f/4 can give pleasing bokeh. Dave

Then you will be able to have a sense for where your gear is limiting you and get the appropriate upgrades. |

A coworker bought one from Adorama a couple of days ago for his 5D Mk3... Really nice, solid (and heavy!) lens.

OP did you decide to stick with the T2i and instead upgrade your glass?
I made the jump from a T3i to a 6D a year ago. I originally planned on selling the T3i, but once I found how soft the market is for used cropped sensor DSLR's, I decided to keep it. Now I run the T3i as a kit/wide angle setup and the 6D as a prime lens setup. It's been super nice being able to switch back and forth between the two rigs without needing to swap lenses. |
