The *Official Photography Thread*

I'm new to photography so I'm learning what everything means and what to do to get some decent shots.

^^^ offset your subjects every once in a while. Every one of your subjects are centered. But not bad for beginning!

Del Scorcho, great shots!

 

Finally got to shoot again today.

Del, digging the airplane camping shots

 

I agree, Del! Also like the first lake photo with the dock, and the female looking out the window.

 

from the roll of film I shot when I played hookie at the local lake last week

 

What other Forum are you on? I know I've seen this picture before but I cannot recall where!

 

Some from this weekend:

Thanks everyone!

I spend some time on JetCareers and post a lot of my flying photos over there. That photo is also on my FB page.

Nice shots of the 'vette! Those are sharp & clean looking!

 

Sub'd. Getting my first DSLR soon.

 

what are you looking at Chaz?

 

5100, although I'm going to write up some of my other options and ask for yalls advice here when I get some time. I won't clog this thread, but start my own.

Most practical for me seems the 5100 route though. Can't do much anymore with my bad back/hands and have always wanted to get into photography so I'm treating myself

 

I started out with a D3100 and shot everything with that camera including College level sports

The D5100 is a great starter camera

 

Yeah man, I've done plenty of research and for my needs it is MORE than enough. I'm just thinking down the road. I'd like to buy once and be good for several years so I may consider a few others. But I'm 90% sure it'll be the 5100. I don't shoot much video and the speed is plenty for me as I like things that aren't moving the most haha BUT who know's what I'll like when I finally get more into all of this.





That new 5200 isn't worth the extra $300 for the few performance upgrades but I want!!!

 

Yea man! Good choice. should work out great man

 

The good news is bodies are cheap compared to glass. The advice I usually give is two things. It doesn't matter which body you buy today. They're all good (yes, some are better). Second, decide which lens system you want to get and buy that body.

There's a last bit of advice and that is buy the best gear you can. Even if it means waiting a little longer to get it. The reason I say this is that buying stuff two or three times is expensive and time consuming.

 

Anyone else out there with the Sony NEX-f3?

Cuz I love mine!

 

x2 to the second part..same goes for modding the truck haha
