The other day we went to the Green Corn Festival in Sleepy Hollow, New York.

I purposely left all my "L"s at home and took only the 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS with me. I wasnted to force myself to see if the "kit" lenses could do the job on the 550D.

I KNOW the light is harsh but there's nothing to be done about that. The time is the time and I wasn't close enough to use any fill. I think the kit lenses did a pretty decent job on color and sharpness. Feel free to disagree if you like.

    Well being well versed in this type of shooting I must say that these came out really well for shooting in direct sunlight. I know how difficult it is to get things right.
    Did you also shot in Auto mode?
    Will take a closer look at the series.....
