🤩 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: @huehughes
Hello everyone!
It's time to direct the spotlight toward our community members, and today we will get to know better Hue Hughes!
"My name is Hue Hughes. I am a video editor and vfx artist living in coastal South Carolina.
The inspiration behind this photo is creating a practical image that had action and tension. Shooting outdoors is something I very rarely do but it is how I got started.
I begin taking my very first toy photographs in 2017. It all started when I purchased a camera and macro lens. I started shooting my sons diverse collection of robots, space ships and superheroes.
It was a short time later I found a unique connection with LEGO®. Its simplistic design, scale, detail and bright color palette of this toy lent itself very well to toy photography. So well in fact, I bought a few more lens and enough LEGO® sets to start a small toy store and never looked back.
I believe every great story has a beginning, middle and end. This same philosophy also holds true for a good photograph.
The image must tell a compelling story that catches the viewers attention and resonates some form of a response - a memory, excitement, joy or just a simple thought from your childhood.
Every image of mine is a window into another world and it’s that window we gaze upon to find a great toy story. Whether it’s throwing baking powder to simulate a winter blizzard on a mountainside or a fire cracker that showers a scene with sparks to mimic an explosion, I like creating all of my effects in camera and practically.
I build my own sets and create my own effects by hand using common household materials and old filmmaking techniques. This style of artisan photography adds an element of realism, personality and craftsmanship to a photo which forms a tighter bond between the viewer and the image.
I am a stronger believer that gear does not make a great shot. It helps but as an artist your equipment should help you achieve your style.
My camera is a Canon 7d. I pair this body with either a EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 or EF 85mm f/1.8 usm.
A single Litepanels Caliber Fresnel is my go-to for lighting. The final element is a fog machine that when combined with the Fresnel creates rich, dreamy photography."

Utter Nonsense Files: MC11 and Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM.
I needed an MC11 adapted like a hole in the head.
I just had to come out and admit it. I will usually come up with some kitschy title along with some weak attempts to justify a purchase. It may end with an, “If you like odd duck… blah, blah, blah, etc. so on and so forth.”
But with this post series, I will make no attempts at such. These entries do not make a lick of sense. I just simply wanted…
A Review of the Canon RF 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM Lens – 135mm lenses have long been a popular second option to 85mm lenses for portrait photography, where their longer focal length and higher levels of telephoto compressions offer flattering renderings. Canon’s EF 135mm f/2L lens was long one of the company’s best hidden gems, offering fantastic image quality in tandem with deep contrast and colors and snappy autofocus. It’s successor, the RF 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM is here, and it looks like an awfully impressive lens. This great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in usage. [ Read More ] (Read More...) ≠ promoted by #NewCanonInfo

Its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture is effective in low light and ideal for shallow depth of field focus control. An ultrasonic autofocus motor (USM) provides fast, smooth and quiet AF action and because the front lens group does not rotate…
This is one of the lenses that is best to use outdoors with ample amounts of light. It is also very affordable, due to the lack of built-in image stabilization. The focal length is equivalent to 120-480mm on a Canon APS-C sensor, which all EOS Rebel cameras have. Available at:Ĭanon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III: Smaller and lighter weight than the lenses above, which is an advantage if you don't want to carry a heavy camera. This would be the one to get to avoid excess size and weight. With 4 stops of image stabilization it is a product that offers excellent performance at an affordable price. Available at:Ĭanon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS: This is a compact and lightweight lens that still has a large zoom range. There are other lenses that may be more comfortable to spend all day walking around with the Canon EOS Rebel T7. The huge focal length span does come at the cost of it being rather large and heavy. Built with 17 elements in 13 groups, with Four FLD and 1 SLD elements, means the lens is able to capture sharp crisp, high-quality images, without the need to worry about chromatic aberrations. The 16.6x zoom ratio means everything from wide angle to telephoto is covered. Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS: This is like having several zoom lenses combined into one. It is also one of the best choices for a single camera lens to take with you while traveling. Available at:Ĭanon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM: This lens has an equivalent zoom range of 24-136mm in 35mm format, making it a great choice to leave on your camera for everyday photography. Depending on if you want to buy a new or used copy the price range can be lower than lenses made by Canon.īased on glowing customer reviews, people love this lens, it could end up permanently mounted to your Rebel T7. It is an excellent match for the Canon Rebel T7 as the size and weight is similar to other Canon EF-S zoom lenses. With the fast aperture and good zoom range, the lens is suitable for everything from portraits to landscapes. Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD: With built-in optical image stabilization sharp images can be captured at up to 4 stops lower than compared to lenses without stabilization. If you had to narrow down all the Canon lenses available to only one to use on your camera, this would be one of the best zoom lenses to choose. The built-in image stabilization helps to counteract camera shake and improves photo sharpness. The large maximum aperture is constant through the full zoom range allowing for a shallow depth of field and beautiful background blur. It is a major step up from the standard zoom lens included with the EOS Rebel T7. Best Lens for Macro: Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USMĬanon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM: The quality of this lens is in line with Canon's full-frame L-series, but designed for APS-C sensor cameras that use the EF-S mount.Best Lens for Landscapes: Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM.Best Lens for Sports & Wildlife: Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2.Best Lens for Portraits: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM.Best Lens for Video: Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM.Best Prime Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM.Best Telephoto Zoom: Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS.Best All-Around Zoom: Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM.Here is the list of the best Canon Rebel T7 lenses: Keep in mind that the recommended lenses will also work well with other Canon Rebel cameras, which means if you ever decide to upgrade your camera you can still use your lenses. The advantage of EF-S lenses is that they are smaller and lighter than full frame lenses. A EF-S lens is designed to be used on Canon cameras with APS-C sized sensors. Full frame Canon lenses can be used or Canon EF-S lenses. The Canon Rebel T7 uses the Canon EOS lens mount. In addition to the recommended lenses, each section will have other options for higher or lower price ranges. A wide variety of focal-length lenses for different types of photography are covered. Here are the best lenses for the Canon EOS Rebel T7.
