experimenting with clouds the other day during a storm



idk I kinda like it

 

looks cool.

 

looks like a photoshop generated image with no central focus

 

don it's real guy, and i dont care about center focus guy

 

so i was out this weekend in downtown milwaukee and did a lil shoot, its was freakin cold as hell out so i really didnt take to many shots, and im not really 100% happy with them but here are my favorite 3

 

i like the third the best.

 

yeah i think i do too lol
the first one is just a crop of the third
just wish i would have taken some pics showing off the intercooler lol

 

some new stuff

 

really like the first one

 

Hey mattTc we should get together and do a shoot. I need practice with my camera.

 

yeah id be game, i dont know all too much but im will to teach what i do know, ive only had DSLR for a few weeks
i know there a few other people around the area that want to do a shoot

 

so I suppose no one has any input on the best metering mode?

 

evaluative metering seems to be the best, and it's whats recommended in my owners manual

 

it really depends on what you're shooting...

if i'm shooting concerts, its center weighted

surf, its averaged

 

here is my boring shot of the clouds today. didnt really have enough colors as jons.



this is from our little trip to magic kingdom this past week.







this can only happen at the happiest place on earth. LOL!


stayed at All-Star Resort

 

i need to bring my cam next time i go to disneyland

 

So, the NY Auto Show is coming up in a few months and I want to make sure my shots don't come out like ___, like they did last year (had no clue how to use the camera). I don't want to have to raise the ISO, and I know that I'll need to keep the shutter speed over 1/25 since I won't have a tripod. Any tips on shooting indoors in low light? I was thinking about getting a better flash, and hoping that it fills more than the built-in flash.

 

What's wrong with raising the ISO. U should be able to go to 400 or 800 without much noise at all. The latest cameras have awesome processors that handle noise really well. And most auto shows have decent enough lighting for 400 or 800 iso. Heck I think my camera does pretty good even up to ISO 1600. Everybody should know and understand that noise is acceptable to a certain degree. Photography is all bout compromise. U get one thing but u have to sacrifice another.

 

but some cameras still suck at high ISO and with a lens that wont open to a big enough aperture its hell..

with my XT and my 17-85mm f/4-5.6 with the ISO all the way up it wont give me more than 1/10 shutter speed. low light is difficult!
