What kiils most of my shots is I know nothing bout photoshop so there is no post processing done on my shots. Which can easily ruin a photo. All my work is straight from the camera so if some variable isn't right I can't fix it in post processing.

 

i dont do any post processing at all, thats how they come right out of the camera. they only thing i might do, is remove red-eye should any happen to show up.

 

i only use photoshop and Photomatix to do HDRs...i also edit my photos in flickr

from what i can remember specs on this are:
iso 60
shutter speed 1.0"
f2.8 (i think)
tripod was used and a MUST when taking photos at night

 

Sorry Nikon fans, I just got myself an xti (in prestine condition!), 18-55mm lens, 3 memory cards, 2 batteries, all cables & charger all for $425. :D

I was looking for a D40, but I came across this and it was a deal I couldn't pass up.

I won't be posting pics here anytime soon though.. Not until I learn at least the basics.. I'm excited to learn to use the camera! Woo hoo!

 

well u can post pics up so some of the good photographers can constructively critigue them.

 

good find and a nice price!


I didnt care for this pic much but i just wanted to show my HID Retro. Ill be doing a much needed photoshoot soon with my new mods, this is my favorite mod!

Nikon D40
Exp .125 (1/8 )

Okay.. Haven't taken too many pics yet.. I still have lots of reading to do. Thanks to Ro_Ja for this site.! http://web.canon.jp/imaging/enjoydslr/

Critique away...

Nothing done to these other than resizing.. I don't have PS on the laptop yet..

v Took forever to get this ONE decent shot... v

 

been a long time since I shot anything with my camera. but here is a few:

 

^photos look great!!
last one is hilarious!

 

 

Thanks...that last one is one of my favs....the streets of Philadelphia can be rough.

 

so um yeah, i am thinking of selling my Canon 5d body so i can upgrade to the 5d mark II

 

^^ nice going bigger ey.. but what feature are you looking at mark 2 that you cant get with your 5d?

 

hmmm...you one of those gear junkies that feel that having the newest bodies is going to make you a better photographer? not trying to be a *****, just asking.

I still shoot with a Canon 20D. Then again, I finally feel it's time to upgrade after 4 years of using the 20D....So I'm moving to the 50D. Then I probably won't upgrade for a while after that. Moving from 8MP to 15MP should keep me happy.

 

i say as long as i get a full frame dslr that would be my last body unless something goes wrong or it gets crazily outdated

 

Mostly because of the new intergrated image sensor cleaner. The fact that it shoots faster with a better processor helps too. Or the fact that it shoots small amounts of HD video doesn't hurt either.

I love my 5d but cleaning it gets old big time. That's bout the only downfall of this body. Which is something they changed on the mark II. With the mark II they actually listened to the photographers and made the changes. Only thing I wish they wouldve done is made it shoot at at least 5 fps. (I shoot freestyle bmx)

 

oh yeah on the sensor cleaning thingy lol, plus the 5d screen isnt that great i've heard.. i guess the 5d is getting old haha

 

can I see some of you work? got a site?

 

I have all that work on my old desktop so I'll have to upload it from there to photobucket or something. All of it was shot with film tho. Never edited or anything. Back when I used an Elan 7e.
