The *Official Photography Thread*

The Gulf of Mexico yesterday on a Cool and windy afternoon .

 

Everyones posting all these sunny weather photos, I just had to join in.

 

Newest addition to the family




Now the largest camera I own by far.
Focusing is a noisy racket but the leaf shutter is so silent I accidentally took 4 or 5 photos before realizing how to work all the features ha.

Got two rolls of 120 to eat up and I'll post up once it's processed.

 

Trying to get myself to start using my camera more. Really want it to start warming up so I don't have an excuse for not going outside haha

Moon not shot in glamis..

 

I don't think these are bad pictures for my 200$ camera.

 

Are you chasing animals into trees to get these pictures? ^^^

 

Perfectly legal.

 

Just picked up a camera and should be posting pics soon hope to learn a lot from you kind folk on here that are down to help a Newby out. Got a DSLR coming from Amazon. Not sure what that means but reviews were good and it says it does what I want so we will see

 

Any newer camera is more than sufficient. Technology advances so quickly that we often scoff at something that's not the newest and best, even if it was just that about 30 seconds ago haha.

Lots of good folks here glad to answer any questions!

 

How did we ever take photo's before 3,000,000 ISO though?

 

Or before you could even change your ISO between photos, with a max SS of 1/500? ha

Limitations beget Creativity and Growth!

 

Thanks man I can't wait to get it and start playing with it learning how to use it to take better pics

 

Sorry if I missed it but what camera did you get? X2 with what @BuzzardsGottaEat said. I went with a Canon Rebel XS for 5 years to a Canon T4i then quickly to a Canon 70D. Sticking with the 70D until it goes out on me unless I become a millionaire.

 

I got the nikon eos rebel T5 package off Amazon with case lenses charger and all that fancy shit to break me into the photography scene. I wanted something that shot fast accurate pics that weren't blurry when I went out on my dirtbike. So when I'm mid air I can have somebody getting a decent pic of it. Also got it for my sons baseball so I can get good action photos of him

 

So was it Nikon or Canon?

 

Right on! Play with it, enjoy it! And I think you mean Canon, not Nikon what lens? Remember that just because you know how to operate it doesn't mean someone else will when taking shots of you in mid air I can't tell you how many times I've had that happen to me when I ask strangers to take a pic of my daughter and I.

 

Winding up for Valentine's Day. Time to get a little sexy...
