What is fill flash exactly?

God its been so long since ive posted here... too long.

exactly what it sounds like, a flash to fill in shadows. plenty of videos on youtube about how to use onboard flash as well as off camera flash. give em a peak and if you have any further questions, i'll be happy to (attempt) to answer

I thought this post was called "pornography chat"! Boy was I wrong :(

???

You need to go Premium for that.

When you say "onboard" do you mean pop up flash? Pop up flashes should be abolished. They're terrible in every sense of the word.

I just left the Premium lounge. That place can be downright frightening. Always a pleasant experience!

yes and no. onboard i typically intend to mean the pop up flash and yes it's absolute garbage. i consider a hot shoe mounted (top mount) flash to be "off camera" since the best way to use them is off camera and fired either wired or remotely.

The only useful thing it does is trigger my speedlight remotely and make people I hate look ugly.

I use hot shoe mounted flashes all the time. If you know how to use them, they're great. Although, 90% of the time I've got a pocketwizard or other wireless trigger on there.

lol exactly!

Normally I wouldn't post a picture this big.. but it helps to see the 3rd four leaf clover.

^ what!?!?! You have like 109804869846 years of good luck right there:tup:

Haha, I have good luck at finding them... That's about it.

jeez!

OK, hoping to get some input on a purchase decision.


I shoot with a D3100. I have the 18-55 kit lens, the 35mm/1.8, and the 55-200 'kit' lens. Nothing serious, but I do have most of the focal lengths I need covered (save for an extreme wide angle)


I am looking to purchase my wife a camera, probably either a D5100 or another D3100. I think I have been convinced to invest the extra couple bucks into the D5100.

I am trying to make a lens decision though. We will be sharing glass, so some overlap may be helpful, vs what would normally be advised.

Thoughts I've had:

18-105: good walkaround lens that she could just toss on and be happy for 99% of use.

50mm/1.8: heard good things, love the 35mm prime I have...a 50 would probably be great

85mm /1.8: heard great things about this lens, a little worried about dropping $500 on a prime

tamron 10-24: would love a wide angle lens. heard mixed review



Most of her shots are either of landscapes, pictures of our dog, or close-ups of things like flowers.

Curious to hear thoughts/inputs...and thanks for your help.

I think the 18-105 - it is one lens I wish Canon had, though I enjoy the 15-85 very much.

Otherwise I think you might want a 2.8 zoom like a 18-50 or 70-200, but the I don't like primes very much. Until Canon comes out with an upgraded 35mm :)

GTR friend came down to hang out this weekend...

Very nice Pat:tup:

I took this one today. The edit aint great but I did it real quick. I like it though....

color/processing doesn't look right ryan... that looks like mustang blue :stirthepot:

Yeah, like I said I just did a very quick edit in Picasa with a few effects. Nothin serious.

go easy on those bro... let the picture stand for itself, not what effects can be piled on it. the picture would be fine as it was straight out of the camera probably. the only "effects" that i've seen that work well are high dollar photoshop actions that have to be bought at great expense.

I rarely add effects. I try to get the shot right the first time as to impose as little editing on the shot to begin with. Just for reference here is the original.

i like that better :shrugs:

LOL, knew you would.

ok question guys i have a old canon powershot 6 mp .... sad thing is my cell phone is better what would be a good upgrade for about 500$?

Attachment 45709

these type shots cars and landscapes

this set is amazing dude, love the setting.

Parker, beetle shots look kickin'


Where did you shoot at?

Its in Decatur.


How much of an interest does she have in photography? I would probably suggest something like the 18-105. I would like to have an 85mm, but I know I wouldn't use it enough... I need to rent one one day though..

But anyways, that would give her a good walk around lens so that she doesn't have to lug around extra lenses and such.

I agree with Parker. The 18-105 is an excellent lens. Its a bit more, but I really love my 16-85mm. I only wish it were faster @85mm. I take mostly indoor shots so the wider angle works more in my favor. 50mm is by far my favorite to shoot with.

Yeah man, AWESOME shot:tup:

reshot the Ariel Atom now that the build is done yesterday evening. here's a teaser...
