Calling all Photography nerds!

Anyone take any good snaps lately.

Went to Barstow on Sunday to shoot some aerial footage of my buddy's jeep. Shot a few pictures after the drone kept failing to send video signal.

 

Barstow....I'm sorry

 

I actually went out to watch my club members race a District 37 dirt bike race that was at slash x. So we decided to go out there and film after the race was over. Then stopped down at Cougar Buttes for a little more wheeling before heading home.

Nice shots

 

Photo nerd here. All Nikon stuff. Currently have three bodies (full and crop sensor) and all the big heavy F2.8 lenses as well as some fast primes and a 500mm zoom. I like Nature the best, but have a lot of car/aircraft photos as well as Macro.

Anyone else here on 500px?

 

thought you were trying to sell some stuff....

 

Nice stuff, I like the variety

 

random pictures with cheap but effective editing

 

Finally got around to doing some architecture shots, and am finding out I'm way out of my league! I did manage to get one composure (BW) that I did like, however.

 

First road trip with my truck last spring. Use my Tacoma to find stuff like this nearby. Testing my Canon 5DmkIII and my trusty Tokina 28-80 f/2.8.

 

Thanks. I am still learning and trying new techniques.

 

So this is my normal bag these days:


And I used to do this:


But man, I stink at taking automobile pictures. I can't figure out attractive angles, my ratio of car to background is all out of whack, don't even get me started on lighting, and I'm sure other issues I don't even know I don't know. Some of the shots is this thread are awesome, and I'd love some hints or rules or sources for advice.

Here is the one decent shot I got of my truck last week (out of about 30):


It's okay, but still kinda boring (flat landscape doesn't help with that, but... Texas).

Auto photo can be tricky. depends on vehicle height and camera height, lots of factors. Im sure other more professional photogs than I can add some tips. Usually I tend to try and shoot with a longer focal length and get further away from my subject. A lot less warping and things will appear more correct to the eye. Thats the lazy way of doing it.

 

Wish ... still dabble with camera

 

This is a very important key factor in auto photos.

 

Nikon guy here. My collection is a D90, D610, D500, D810, and D850. Mostly use Really Right Stuff for support equipment. I sell photos professionally but its not my main source of income, still have a day job. If I can help answer questions, I'm happy to.

 

I think all were shot in March, 2018. Fuji X-T20. Bounced around Sony, Nikon, and Fujifilm for a while when I restarted my photography hobby after my film days. I am pretty settled on Fujifilm now, and ultimately, my skills aren’t that advanced that I would be able to outshoot any camera on the market.

 

Sweet setup! That’s what photo gear dreams are made of right there!!
