The *Official Photography Thread*

Thats what I got lol and what the above pictures were taken with, also used to kit lens on them too. But like Ian was saying a good telephoto lens will help you as well.

 

ya its a good camera i like it a lot iv had it since decemberish i think haha, but ya i have been looking at a bunch of different lenses there is just a lot to choose from!

 

Hey! I've got the same camera since October of last year..the Rebel XS 1000D series or w/e but I just recently purchased a new lens as the 18 - 55 mm wasn't enough distance for me. I purchase the 55 - 250 mm as I believe it is the best bang for the buck when it comes to budget/quality wise for us beginners. Sure, it's not their best lens but I will work for now and it would have been a great feature to have at the game you attended to.

Check your local craigslist as I found mine for $150.

$210 Canon 55-250mm f4-5.6 is EF-S Lens

Got to shoot some pool (with camera and cue)



no editing, what do yall think?

Canon 60D, 18-155mm

 

ya iv been looking around on CL for a while every time there is a lens i never have money haha.

so i downloaded LR3 and I'm trying to get used to it so i was messing around with a photo here is the before and after what do you all think??

BEFORE:


AFTER:

 

that looks good to me (i am still an amateur, i am sure one of the experts will chime it)

i just got lightroom and i am learning to use it, awesome program since i dont have time to learn photoshop right now

 

haha ya I'm still kinda confused but I'm sure ill get the hang of it all though its just the trial if i like it enough i just might get the real thing.

but your pic is sweet man it was tripin me out i was staring at it for a good min trying to figure it out

 

the pool shot?

i have more (hehehe)

i spent a good hour or two taking pics like that

I may try to do an entire game one of these days now

i tried to get bowling, but.....lighting wouldn't let me

 

haha ya that one I'm still kinda confused the streaks are the balls right? or are they the cues?

bowling would be cool but ya i can imagine it being harder for sure

 

it is definitely the balls, here is a link to a flickr album (dont want to take up too much space here) with a lot more, some of them ended up better than others (none are edited, there may be one though, i dont know if i saved it)

this one is my favorite Image 0245 is my favorite because i got the full triangle before the break, though i like the one that i posted for other reasons

some are break shots which i like the best

it was because they were doing cosmic bowling so it was really dark

 

CraigsList for a lens? Are you on any photo boards like fredmiranda.com ?

 

Just ordered a D3100 body to replace my old D100! The maples, aspens, and oaks are starting to change around here. I hope I can get some good shots.

 

ya craigslist seems to be some really good stuff on there but like i said i never have the money when its for sale, but no im not ill check that site out though

I'm really liking this LR3 when my trial runs out i think I'm probably going to buy it.

here is a pic i was just messing with what do you all think?

BEFORE:


AFTER:

 

He everybody, new guy here, I just joined a few days ago after lurking around here for a while, I just bought Fire's ATO tacoma the other day and while waiting to pick it up I have been surfing this site and was excitied to see you guys have a photography section, as photography is one of my other hobbies.

Here are a few of my pix, let me know what you think or if you want to see more.

First few are toyota related "miniture" or tilt-shift pictures I took.
From the FJ rally a few weeks ago.


My friends old 4 runner


A local waterfall.




My fav. lightning shot I took from my house up in the mtns

One more lightning shot


Last is from my trip to San Diego last month.

 

great photos tacolin! I never really saw how miniature worked but now i can see it with those. I'd be interested to see more

 

very nice, did you use a lensbaby lens or was it done in photoshop?

 

Thanks guys, it was done is PS, I tried a lensbaby, but didnt like the IQ, I'm a bit of a lens snob and I like everything as sharp as I can. LOL

Here are a few more T/S pix and a IR shot.

This is of my old rig and one of my first TS so not the best.


This is on top of the mtn after a really bumpy 4x4 climb over looking alamogordo NM


This one is one of my fav. and really fools alot of people.


and here is one of a town... anybody know where? (hint- it snows here)


and a IR shot, just to throw something else in there.

 

those look crazy! nice job, looking forward to see more!

Loving the lighting shots too.

 

ok, so are the miniature pics full size of whatever you are taking? or actual miniatures, i am seriously confused with these

if it is a trick to how you are taking the shots, i will now have to learn it

 

thats the key haha. that means he did what he was trying to and give the illusion that it is miniature which i think he did very well.

here are some photos of my friend dirt jumping...they destroyed the jumps but we kind of rebuilt one for him to hit. it was his first time.
