unfortunately i was only borrowing it from a friend. tho it is on my "want list" along with the 35L, 135L, and 200L

ok, got it! thanks! :tup:

actually i have no such equipment as strobes and tungsten... :crying: only the sun and low-tech shadeless ikea lamp with twisty white bulb :icon17: which i did not use in that shot.

that shot was taken in my garage with the garage door open. hahaha. :D

Nitex- you got the camera-bug again! lol :D hahaha. nice stuff you got there. :tup:

haha yea overkill for my skill level but... i tend to jump in headfirst to things like this. Im enjoying myself so its worth it. However it will suck if in 6months or a year from now, all of my gear is sitting in the corner not being used. But camera gear is more of a longer term investment i guess.

Haha yeah ok you got me.. However we all drive 370z's so there is some showoff in us all i assume :tup:

I returned the canon t3i, my brother bought a 60D so i had to up my game and move to nikon D7000 :icon17:

Wilsonp - I was abducted last night by some pissed off moon martians saying my flash was to bright :p

I've never heard of anyone say they no longer want to take pictures every again, so chances are, you'll never get over this hobby. Not great for your wallet at all since new stuff is always around the corner. I've probably spent more on camera gear & software than mods to the Z.

Woohoo, got an SB-700 for $250 :D

:tup:

Would you guys quit buying stuff!!! I try to spend my extra cash on my Z, your all making me wanna spend on my camera. Its crazy, camera upgrades cost as much as car upgrades, jeez. Im still trying to catch up on the tripod discussion from the other week and pick up my Manfrotto. Now Im craving lenses and lighting equiptment!

Tell me about it. I'd have a nice set of wheels if I weren't so impulsive.

wow, everyone's on a buying streak. :D (less me)

A few more edits from recent shoots...

Nice shots Alch


Hahaha, I once read an article by a photographer that said he figured for every two shots he "missed" it cost him a new piece of equipment. :tup:


I gotta tell you though, you guys are going to cost me an RC car. I have always wanted one...

Here is one of the cars the guys were running through the crowd at the regatta last weekend.

^ I just got back into RC recently. Its another pretty fun/expensive hobby (wish i could find cheaper hobbies). I was out of RC for awhile and a friend of mine bought a RC rockcrawler, I had never even heard of them. I thought the idea of going SLOW and crawling over rocks sounded lame. Ive always been more of a speed guy myself. Needless to say first time I drove his I was hooked!! Bought mine a few days later. So glad I got back into it. I drive it almost everyday and it gives me a good subject to shoot:)

still getting used to the speedlight...i'm not very good and figuring out the light and where to bounce light off of.

then again, i was practicing when it was still pretty good light out, so it was just overkill.

Flash would work on your camera, if you had a remote system with the TL system I think it called; Tungsten lights are your home lights the ORangeish ones.

Try One light source then, if its all tungsten put it on AWB then take a picture of an ALL WHITE surface or an (18% gray card if you have one you can buy them online) then it will calibrate all your colors.

Once you've shot a picture of an all white wall go to WB settings, and choose custom white balance find the picture with the white wall and press okay, you should be good to go for better shots.

OR as I always do is play around with my Kelvin temperature until I get something I wnat!

Fourth shot is best in this series... Good movement. I'm not sure about the over-saturation of the images not sure it does any favors. But good shot

while i can't argue that it's not a good lens (because it is)... it is almost double that price now...

Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM Autofocus Lens 2515A003 B&H Photo Video

Wow what the hell!?

Thats ridiculous !


Heres what I've been up too Clint Earhart Fashion Photographer :) i dont like posting what I do.

I just think alot of the members are shooting with like a 1/3 cropped sensor, so the 50mm would yield beneficial.

I love full frame, because all the lenses are the accurate on them without variable tends to make lens choices less stressful

I feel like the fourth shot is overly saturated too. As well as some of the others. Long story short I have been editing my pics on my gf's pc. Poor monitor, hard to edit. I dont really see what they look like till i post on here and check via my droid. Im no pro but I love photography. Thanks for the criticism.

You want to stray away from over-saturating anything, so dont go into saturation play with selective color ! :)

From my beach vacation last week, actually didn't take that many pictures. Going to work on some others when I get a chance.

That'd be a cool pano...

I liked this:

Yea, it would have. Didn't even think of that since I don't do them that often.

I just think it's too much negative space for this, and it's contrast yellow with blue, so pano it, and you'd have a much stronger image.

Love it. +1

*shrugs*

I like it because it shows off the nights sky as well as the buildings.

I do wish I would have dropped down a little lower on this one, but it was the last picture of the night as we were going to leave the pier.

See excellent excutiion black and white!

It's just personal opinion, but it should of been 1/3 2/3's sky 1/3 building. But instead it'sc oming out 1/4''s

The adjustment Loooks like ****, because the image is so small, and I don't have the raw file....

Sorry for mishaps!

Maybe I am taking this wrong... but that was pretty uncalled for.

NOOO!!!

Sorry

I didn't mean it that! Way, refer to what I said earlier great capture. I was talking about the IMAGE quality! lol, sorry let me fix it, I was saying because of my image adjustment it posterized the image!

Gotcha, I was trying to figure out how it got to that point.. lol.

:tup:


You would probably like this one a little better.

http://www.parkerphotog.com/Other/Be.../DSC2684-L.jpg

Much better capture, look how this is more evenly divided.

I'd actually prefer the earlier one with a different crop, losing the castle on the right makes it less interesting to me.
