Nice shots and good subject matter. The color is very nice.
But, because you said feedback is welcome, on download it seems each image has the front of the car out of focus and somewhere behind the car in focus. In the first shot the sign to the right of the driver's hand is in perfect focus - the license plate not so much.


I noticed that as well; I think my focus may have been just a tad off on those shots...thanks for the feedback!

I did a little experiment at July's Spring Ho parade in Lampasas, Texas; I shot exclusively with my Canon T6i with a Tamron 70-300 Di LD zoom lens. Settings were ISO 200, 1/400 sec, f/8, 70 mm. Feedback is welcome; enjoy!

I own and recommend virtually anything in the Canon line of cameras, particularly the t3i, t5i, etc.


I use the T6i myself with two kit zoom lenses (Canon 18-55 mm and Tamron 70-300 mm) and the 50 mm and 24 mm primes I purchased off Amazon; covers the vast majority of my needs.

Excellent photo. Since I am an avid weather watcher and former storm chaser, I truly appreciate the beauty of clouds like these. Well done!

Is it really worth it to pay the monthly charges and can i load it on more than one iMac or PC? Thanks in advance appreciate your advice you pro's i respect you. 👍 😀


For me it is definitely worth it. I have both Photoshop and Lightroom CC, and getting the updates for free is sweet. I use mostly Lightroom but occasionally use Photoshop for certain things. Also, I use the mobile version of Lightroom...a very nice thing to have!

It's amazing how similar our arsenals are. I am selling my 55-250 for sure. That is one I "never" use. I really would like to hang onto my 85 mm. I will sell my Tamron 70-300 once my Canon 100-400 gets here this week. The other primes I will keep. I also like my 18-135 so will hang onto that one.

I have a video on how to use the T6s. I will have to rewatch to see how I can tweak the settings. Not familiar with that.

Thanks!


Sounds like you have a good plan. Good luck!

When I purchased my first DSLR last March (Rebel T6s), every time I saw an awesome photo posted I "had to have" that lens in my arsenal. Now that I've had my camera for awhile, I find I rarely use some of those lenses. My question is, what would I be safe to hang on to and what should I try and sell? As I live in the country, I take mostly birds, flowers, and my cats. Very rare do I take photos of people although once in a while will take some family photos when they come to visit. I would really like to invest in better glass than a new camera. Thanks in advance for any advice. It's all so new to me.

Canon 18-135 3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens (which I really like)
Tamron 70-300 VC USD 4.0-5.6
Canon 55-250 4.0-5.6 STM
Canon 24 mm 2.8 STM
Canon 50 mm 1.8 STM
Canon 85 mm 1.8 STM

(I just ordered the 100-400 "L" IS II USM)

Stenojj, here's my lens setup with my T6i:

Canon 18-55 3.5-5.6 STM kit lens
Tamron 70-300 4-5.6 Di LD Tele-Macro
Canon 24 mm 2.8 STM
Canon 50 mm 1.8 STM

This lens setup actually works very well for me. Pay attention to the crop factor (1.6 for each of our cameras) and take that into consideration; you may find that you need one or two LESS lenses overall. I can see having the 85 mm 1.8 STM (I do want that one) and even the 100-400 mm "L" IS II USM. Beyond those, unless you want to eventually add a 10-18 mm lens, I think you're pretty set where you are.

Also take advantage of your in-camera settings for sharpness and contrast, among other settings. It can help overcome (to a point) any shortcomings a lens like the Tamrons we have, such as sharpness. It's worked for me.

Here in Texas our temps have actually been around what one would expect; the real problem is the heat index (feels like)...up to 109F!

Selected photos from the 2017 Lampasas Spring Ho Festival parade in downtown Lampasas, Texas on July 9 for sharing and enjoyment! Camera used was the Canon T6i with the Tamron 70-300 Di LD lens; I was experimenting with in-camera settings and the lens itself for a certain distance. Mostly at 70mm, f8, ISO 200, edited in Lightroom.
