15 Great Photos Shot With A Canon Rebel T2i / 550D (And How They Were Taken)
// May 3rd, 2010 // 7 Comments » // Great Photo Collections (And How They Were Taken)
Canon have surely created a winner with the Rebel T2i (known as the 550D in Europe). Building on the already fantastic performance of the 500D, the new model has received great reviews around the ‘net, and will no-doubt be in the minds of a lot of prospective DSLR owners.
So, with that in mind, I thought I’d feature some great photos that have all been taken with the T2i / 550D, along with some information on how they were taken.
'The Dark Side'

An apt way to kick-off this 550D / T2i collection is with a great self-portrait. A large aperture of f/5 means the photographer himself is a bit blurry, drawing our attention to the sharp camera – the true subject of the photo.
'Pittsburgh: Watson Street'
By David Watson
The range of colours taken in this shot are just gorgeous, and it works to keep your eye moving across the shot, from one colour to the next. As virtually everything in the shot is the same distance away from the camera, the choice of aperture (in this case, f/5.6) does not really matter, as a large or small aperture would still keep the majority of the photo in focus. Composition, and the great skill of the photographer to ‘see’ that this would make such a good photo, is more important than the technicalities of the shot in this instance.
