The *Official Photography Thread*

Nice. And what's cool is the footprints take you to the person. How cool is that? Nice "mood" to the shot as well.

 

What a troll. Trolled the overlanding thread too..


Anyways, I'm looking at getting started in basic photography..any suggestions? I'm taki g a class at my college which has a nationally know program. But any info helps. I'm not sure what camera I should pick up first. Not looking for the cats pajamas, but not a point and shoot really..although some with interchangeable lens look okay ish..

Anything would be better then my iPad which is my current camera

 

I was just about to post this exact thing.

 

Thanks! Ill look at it..

 

Ill be the one to say go canon

Haha but really I've been more than happy with my t1i, try some out at a camera store and see what you like.

 

I've been eying the t4i

The d5200 looks nice tho too..

 

I got a sweet Manfrotto trip for Christmas from my grandparents. Its nice have a solid tripod.

This is the one I got

I have that tripod but a different ball head. It works great and is very reliable.

 

Been trolling here for a while and thought I'd jump in to help the regulars who also admire 2012Expedition's magnificent work... Here are a few "average" shots. Hopefully the link will work. First attempt posting from the i-Pad.

My Christmas was sending my 7D to Canon

 

Go Canon!

 

Doesn't mean he was any less of a dick

 

I couldn't agree more!

 

LoL.... I've haven't been in this thread much lately, but that guy is hellarious. I've never seen someone with such a god complex. He could probably be good, but the subject in his photos are extremely dull and boring

Maybe he should go read photography composition 101...

 

and then read it again.

 

Wow, Just had to catch up on 4 pages of crap.. and some good photos also in the mix. Didn't that dude realize it was Christmas!

 

Thankfully he is gone.

Here are some shots from a backpack I went on.
Got an affordable Olympus SZ-12 that is small enough to travel with and has the features I know how to use. Any suggestions on framing the shot better or ways to improve the shots would be welcomed, we go to some amazing places and I waste a lot of time trying to get the right angle/lighting.

 

The real reason I went with canon was the loyalty program, bought a used broken point and shoot canon on eBay for 5 bucks and got a massive discount on a refurb t1i. Don't be afraid of the refurb, mine has held up VERY well for how I treat it haha.

 

?? How did you swing that??

I didn't find any refurbished. I'd take a t2i too I think

 

It was all online. Google canon loyalty program, I think POTN has a long going thread on the subject.
