DSLR Shots and Discussions

Those are great shots!
I plan do be doing portraiture and fashion photography as relates to my work, but I'm always up for pointing my camera at other things.

I get hard for L glass. Should be a bumper sticker.

Hahaha on the overcompensating.

I want these coffee mugs:

Just thought I'd share from right now...

Life is good!

Luna, Mustang and King -- those are all very good shots. The PMS mugs crack me up.

As far as ISO performance and light gathering ability, think of it like this:
Say you have a Nikon D90 and a Nikon D700 as examples, both are 12 Megapixel sensors. meaning the D90's (crop sensor) 12 million pixels are crammed into a smaller sensor and the larger sensor of the D700 (full frame) has more area to spread those 12 megapixels out so light can hit each pixel "easier" for lack of a better term and gather more light because of the larger size of each pixel, whereas the D90's smaller pixels that are crammed together make it harder for the light to reach all of the pixels leading to more noise in your photograph. Same goes for pocket cameras. The sensor is so small anything past ISO 400 usually yields unpleasant photos

Thanks guys!

Luna, those are awesome mugs!

Zee, great shots from the game. I've never been to an NBA game before... I need to go!

I noticed the Laker-ettes. Was there a game, too?

Awesome explanation - repped

So full frame and non full frame doesn't have sh*t to do with lens focal length? Just crop sensor size?

Well I do stop by the conference room occasionally

Dallaz · 12-29-2011, 07:41 PM

That wasnt a very technical answer, I haven't really explained all that stuff in a while, but easy to understand. +1 if it helps anyone!
