The *Official Photography Thread*

I saw a picture from the Willamette River area yesterday. I guess they're getting some flooding

 

idk. Sunsets are never bad.

But yes, you've come a long way.

 

For sure. But that's almost always the case

 

A few from a safari in Zambia. Have better, but thought these were fun. The lions eating favorite pic of all time. The ones with them on the bank of the river is cool, because right after this they decided to swim across (which is rare) to reach a dead water buffalo, and on the way they were stalked and attacked by gators. Both surived and walked right past use on way to their meal.

 

Bag help! I'm going to the Electric Daisy Carnival in Vegas in June and I'm debating on whether or not to take my dSLR with me. I'm looking for a smaller backpack type bag that I can fit my camera with an extra lens in, plus space for wallet, phone, an extra shirt or two and stuff I pick up along the way. Something comfortable enough to wear for 10 hours and be able to party in.

Any suggestions?

 

I've goy Tenba's large Discovery backpack and I really like it

Did you get any head shots?

What you've posted looks good. The dude with the megaphone was a good catch.

 

Thank you

I didn't get any head shots, unfortunately. The only lens I had with me was my 50 1.8, but I was able to borrow a 18-105. During my 30 second spray all of my shots were terrible.

The guy with the handlebar mustache is Terry Jones (he is has caused quite a stir).

 

I had to look him up. I can see why he'd cause a stir

You might like the 70-200 f/2.8 for interior shots.

 

My photo editor had the 70-200.

I'm happy with the shots that I was able to take. Stuff like this makes me want to pursue a career in photojournalism.

 

You did a good job. I think a PJ career would be awesome.

 

Yeah we've been getting rained on pretty good here. Salem and Corvalis got some flood going on. Shitty winter so far, not much snow in the Valley

 

I'm going to post some more basketball shots tomorrow, gotta look them over and edit a few

 

This looks pretty amazing, I wonder how this is going to change photography.

very interesting...i bet that would make action photography a lot easier.

 

that was a hot topic over at Dgrin

a couple of members over there preorded some

 

It was.

I think it's a cool idea and this one might just be more for people who like bleeding edge toys.

There are some terms and conditions that are a wee bit unreasonable too.

 

i need to go shoot. i havent shot in sooo long... like just street shoot or something

 

We all do.

Be fun to have a shoot out someplace convenient for all of us to meet up too.
