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

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.

I thought you shot with a canon.

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:

What lens are you using with the 2X? I tried mine with my Sigma 105mm and my 70-300 which did better than I expected.

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.

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.

kenchan 08-13-2011 03:25 PM

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

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:)

phelan 08-14-2011 01:29 PM

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.
