I rather put my money towards a prime like 24 or a macro in the future.
I find myself using all three of my lenses!! I could not live without either of them actually!
Super wide is the 17-40
Portraits and long distance 70-200
Portraits, Night and sharp images I use 50 1.4

If they made the 15-85IS as non EFS, then I would've gone with 5D MKII. That lens is simply amazing! According to my buddy's test at work, it's actually sharper than the 24 L prime... :O

Sun was setting for both pics and that seems to provide great light. Of course, a little work on the contrast/color warmth in Photoshop helped too!  | |

The 3rd picture looks great. I love the texture of the blanket against the cat.

some constructive criticism.. On the first pic, you should have shot it with a slower shutter speed. This would have given the prop some motion blur and added some feel to the image.

I like that pic too, the only thing I don't like is the noise/blur in the top left corner. If I get a chance to photograph some pets again I'll see if I can't do a better job on the sharpness. Quote:

I took another similar picture of the same plane (took about 15 shots in succession, continues shooting mode), and one of the two useable ones had the prop blurred in motion... unfortunately the slower shutter speed and handheld camera combination resulted in more overall noise. I had most of the camera settings on automatic, because of the complexities of shooting a plane flying by... any suggestions on how to slow the shutter speed (shutter speed priority mode) while maintaining sharpness?

125/sec should be a good shutter speed to blur the prop...just shoot in shutter priority mode.

Focal length, btw, was 200mm for this shot... might 1/125 be a bit slow? I have heard that shutter speed should be the inverse of focal length, in this case 1/200th.

^^^ While that is a good rule to go by, it's by no means written in stone. If you have IS/VR and or a steady hand, 1/125 sec should be easy. Also try panning at an even slower shutter speed like 1/45 sec.

And yes, I am rocking a D5000 and both my lenses have VR (always enabled unless I'm using a tripod).
I absolutely love the second pic that you posted above. Stunning colors. Pretty much a perfect cityscape picture, imo. Only thing that might improve the photo a bit, at least to my inexperienced eyes, is if the actual buildings & city lights were a bit sharper.
What were the camera settings for that pic? Shutter speed, f-stop, etc?

A couple things I might suggest:
1) Maybe crop out the island/etc in the bottom left? A bit distracting and an easy fix.
2) I know this is part of the photo but if the clouds and water were a few notches brighter it might help bring out the details. I'm a complete rookie myself so maybe that will ruin the image completely, but its just a thought.
