The *Official Photography Thread*

No worries! Just remember, I am very much an ametuer. There are people on this forum that are much better than I am.

Here are the videos that I watch, and it's specifically for the D3400, but translates into most DSLRS

I think the most part that I'm outgrowing is the shutter and aperture. I would like something that does a bit better in low light. Of course, I'm sure that could be helped with better lenses. I'm just going to continue to grow with this photo, and save up for the next one by the end of the year for my Trans-Alaska road trip.

 

thanks, and yea I know there are, but tying to compare what ill be effective with, vs what theyre effective with and what I need to look at is like a 15 yr old whose never driven a car before asking a F1 driver what car he should consider! seems to be apples and oranges.

 

I just realized I didn't fully answer your question so I edited my previous post

 

No worries! that sounds like a great trip! im mostly looking to get one so that I can take good pictures down in Patagonia when the fiancé and I head down there. Low light is actually one thing that I think I need. do the low light pictures come out really grainy?

 

No, they are actually pretty good, but I just want something better lol.

This photo was taken with the camera @ a 25 sec exposure, ISO 100 FS 5.6

 

Fair enough, itll probably suit me well to start off! if you end up wanting to sell it, shoot me a PM!

 

My best friend works on the Dorthy Ann Pathfinder for Interlake Steamship Company. They own the Tregurtha you got a picture of.
I assume you're around marquette?

 

I'm from lower Michigan, but take roadtrips to Marquette quite often.

 

Sold my D7100 a while back and picked up a Panasonic G85 4/3 mirrorless to mess around with and shoot some video as well as photos. already done some 16x20 prints with the G85, they came out pretty dang good.

hoping and saving for a Nikon D810 or whatever replaces that in the future.

Will upload some of my work soon.

United Airlines also asked to use one of my photos in advertisements, but they were trying to get rights to the photo for free... Not today United, i know ya have a budget for advertisements ha.

 

Went out and played with a 10 stop ND filter for the first time this weekend, it was a little challenging but a really fun learning experience






no filter on thisone, we have walked by it a ton of times and for some reason never noticed it

 

Nice pics! My favorite filter! Although I think i use a 6 stop the most

 

Thanks, there was a better spot on a rock on the edge but my vertigo said NOPE to that idea

 

nice which ND filter were you using? Been looking at picking up some.

 

I just used this:

$26 ICE 72mm ND1000 Filter Neutral Density ND 1000 72 10 Stop Optical Glass

It worked pretty well, I also have a few 6 stop filters for different lenses, I don't want to buy an entire kit just yet. When I do though I would go with a bracket style mount so I could focus and compose a little easier than with the screw on one.

 

I was thinking the same thing. For now just want to play around with it before I dive in.

 

Here is what I've been up lately











I've still got a few more images to work on, but the rest can be viewed here

 

Those are awesome ^^ I'm loving that 2nd shot in particular.

 

Thanks dude!

This is one of the shots I was really liking that I got. I love that you can clearly see the face of the GT driver as his is passing the prototype.

 

Ok, weird request time. Does anyone have a hi-res shot of a female leaning through a car window? From behind and preferably wearing jeans shorts?

Working on a patch and need that image to work off of.
