Those looks great Manic. Backlit shots can be a pain - I was wrestling with the harsh sun all evening tonight and couldn't quite get shots as good as you did - even with a $2000 lens. I'm totally addicted to this things now and don't want to send it back.
I just got home from taking over 330 images of my friends and their 4 daughters. We narrowed them down to about 130 I still have to mess with.
We only got around to doing most of the family portraits and tomorrow we're doing each of the girls individually.

In the week that I have this I'm doing this family's stuff, a wedding on Sunday, and also possibly another family shoot for one of my wifes co-workers. I really should charge a little bit.

I decided to take the desert chair shot and combine it with the lake sunset.  Click the image for the larger version.

Great job! Love it... I'm transferring about 500 pictures I took over the last day of a friends family and on Monday will start going through editing.

I-LOVE-THIS-LENS! (but don't have $2,000 to spend on it)

Got a couple of my pics from today onto the computer. Here are some initial shots right off the camera - I still have yet to tweak them for final though - but I think they show off how nice this lens is.

These were all taken with a T2i and a Canon 85mm 1.2L.
For the most part I'm very pleased with the results. Not too bad for the first time trying to do a shoot like this, and also my first time shooting with a lens this fast. The DOF and focus took some getting use to and some I wish I could redo, but the family is very happy with them.

Here's a handful of my favorites.

Love this one.  The depth of field on that lens still blows me away.

Figured it's been a while since Yotogi had a glimpse of my mom.  This one's for you, pal.

I feel like the top-right corner needs text that says, "Love, from Utah" or "From Utah With Love".

Don't believe everything you think.

A buddy of mine does some great automotive photography.  He's been published in a few magazines.

These were taken at my mom's 50th birthday party last weekend.  She rented an empty lot in a local mall and held a black light dance party with a bunch of friends and family.  We spent about an hour getting painted up, and then turned out the lights and went nuts.  









My girlfriend impressed everyone with her paint job:
