The *Official Photography Thread*

damn those are nice toys ^

 

San Tan Mountain Regional Park and Butcher Jones Tonto National Forest

 

To the LA fox. Someone went to the "The Big Photo Show"?
Is this coming weekend (17&18) and I would like to know if is worth to spend a day to go and also spend $25 on the entrance ticket.
Thanks

 

Now that I did some more editing, I kinda wish I would have went the third photo for the challenge



Entry

 

I guess I could enter it for the Monthly Panning Challenge. It was flying by at almost 200kts from about 75ft away

 

2&3 and bad ass man. Both do it for me.

And yes that would work for panning!

 

Haha Thanks man!

Cool I'll give it a bump with an entry

Wish we had more participation in that thread. I really hope to see some awesome shots this month.

 

First pano from my cruise, got about 3 or so more

 

sorry late to reply...

i went last year on a free ticket...

total waste of time and parking... walked around for about 30 minutes then bailed to Hooters across the street...

the vast majority of the vendors were local mom and pop printing shops, Samys Camera, Paul's Photo, and a couple other shops, but pricing on gear wasn't as good as online via B&H...

The workshops were total orgies that reminded me of an import car show...

Maybe it got better this year but I recall hearing a lot of the same feedback from folks last year...

 

looks like Willow Springs is hiring a photographer...

I was trying to figure out whether it was for Willow or for someone who shoots at Willow. Probably for Cali Photography which is who the track uses. They have a nice setup. Photo trailer with viewing stations so you shoot, edit and upload then constantly sell

 

Nice! What cruise did you go on?

 

Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, we did the Eastern Caribbean trip.

 

bmx lake jump

 

NICE!

 

BMX lake jumping looks like a lot of fun. Nice pics!

 

had a chance to try out the new (to me) 60D yesterday at a local stunt show...

Jason Britton and Eric Hoenshell were the riders

took a bit to find a decent setting...didn't find one i liked, but found one that worked...the rapid fire on this thing is awesome! definitely some differences that will take some getting used to coming from the t1i, but it should be a fun switch..

the TT600 is mine, Ninja 250r next to it is Kayla's and the red Honda 929rr is Jace's (think it's a 929)


ridiculous talent


hi fives




smokin tires


scaring chicks


circling the ladies






like i said...didn't find the right setting, but i'm liking the burst mode and the lip out LCD was clutch for the show as i wasn't front row...all taken over my head

 

for fast moving action, find a decent shutter speed, and go from there. you could have used shutter priority on your camera, and let your camera do all the work(after selecting a solid shutter speed).

for my bike pics, since it was sunny as hell, and the subject was moving pretty fast, 1/800s 100 iso at f4ish was what I was shooting at. used a d700 with a mamiya 80mm 1.9

 

my issue with shutter priority was the inability to adjust my focus easily. having the camera over head forced me to go with a higher f stop and go manual close to infinity. I brought it back a bit but still missed focus on many.

wish my auto focus was quicker. my tamrons have proven to not excel in that.

so I was at around f11 or so with speeds around 640 toward the end I think. on my phone or I'd check.

better positioning would have been awesome. definitely enjoy shooting stunt shows. capturing the smoke wrapping up the tires is always a favorite.

 

Yea the tamrons don't focus super fast
