on the way back home




more pics on my flickr....check my sig ;)

 

 

Got a polarizer?

 

Yep. courtesy of the bf.

 

Picture is nice. Next time turn the polarizer till the reflections go away. K? Like turn the end of the ciruclar polarizer and u will see the difference.

 

I need to learn settings still. =/

 

 

Hey guys, there is some really great stuff in this thread! I'm just getting into photography, and tonight I went out with a photographer, and she gave me a lesson, and a camera to learn with.

Here's some stuff that I got from my first shoot, I would appreciate ANY feedback or advice you all might have for me...







This is my favorite:

 

Were you using a tripod? If not, I'd invest in one. They're key for night shots.

What lens were you using?

 

lobster tails steamed in beer....yummy

 

thats not heavy....

1D mk IIn + fisheye + water housing = 11 lbs of dead weight while floating in the ocean and trying to tread water....

 

1d=serious change. hah

Ill get a 1d someday if I have $8k laying around the house.

if you think about it, 2 x 1d's = a scion tc.

 

y not just get a 5d mkII and have a full frame sensor and most of the features from a 1d except for the speed that ur never gonna use anyways.

 

5d will be my next purchase, than eventually the 1d.

the 1d is weather sealed unlike the 5d and look of pictures are different between the 2 bodies.

as you go up the model line, less noise at higher ISOs! which just makes it that much easier to take photographs under low light and high speed.

 

i think the 5d MKII would be more than enough for u unless ur gonna shoot completely professional.

 

Thanks a lot Don, u've just made me hungry. I actually cook with beer a lot.

 

i needs the speed, or at least used to, of the 1d mk IIn

 

 

I was using one for the shots in the playground and of the building, but the ones at the bus stop I didn't because my friend had it.

not sure about the lens she had like 3 that she just interchanged depending on what she wanted to use or wanted me to learn on.

 

I like this one too out of the whole set. For the others, if you're going for the grainy look on your shots don't change a thing. If you want to reduce or eliminate it, try upping your ISO setting in low light.
