WOW who is that?

and I still really really want a DSLR

 

I see your GTR snaps and raise you:

Philly Auto Show





Canon EOS 300D (18-55mm, 18-200mm & 50mm f/1.8) http://www.flickr.com/photos/visualsense/

 

 

i see u MORE GTR shots and raise u a challenger.











don't make me bust out all the shots i have from car shows. cause i can raise u HUGE amounts of cars of all types ha ha

 

I didn't play with the ISO at all. I got the camera like a week before, so I had no clue how to use it yet. I left ISO at 200 for everything, so it wanted me to take slower shots. Now that I have my f1.8 lens, I'll be able to take shots at an Auto Show without a problem.

 

if u boost the ISO and depending on ur camera u should be able to shoot at 800 without much noise.

 

Though, not enough can be said about having a steady hand and good posture.

 

^ It's not wise to take on Vince.


Depending on how much lighting (or lack of lighting, I should say) the ISO won't always effect the shot. I would just prefer keeping it at 200, and using aperture and shutter speed to get the correct exposure, rather than having the camera 'compensate' for lack of lighting with ISO. That's why I got a f1.8 lens, makes a HUGE difference. Plus it was only $150 (I think).

 

nice. my fisheye is my fastest lens. wish my 24-105 was faster but it has GREAT glass. I just boot my ISO cause with the 5d i can go to like 1600 without noise pretty much. once i get to 3200 it gets noticable tho.

 

 

flipguy206: I have no idea. >_< lol I'll ask my friends over at AutoImportCraze[dot]com.

 

i'm so ashamed i have a canon xti, i don't even know how to use it

 

I think that's Kim Kardashian or w/e. I wouldn't go near that with a 300ft pole.

 

carbon, that long exposure is awesome. wish we had a place worth calling a background in memphis ha ha

 

You mean the lake shot?

Me and my friend (Evo, post a shot of it in front of the lake earlier) were trying to figure out a good spot to take some scenic photos, so I thought of the lake, then on the way over I realized that theres a small gravel parking lot right in front of my friends house. So I setup the camera on the opposite side of the road in the middle of someones lawn, set the settings on the camera, pushed the button and watched 10 cars drive by. Waited for no cars...hit the button...cars...It got so annoying, then I finally managed to get it with only 2 cars (you can see the streaks, which look cool but when 10 cars go by, it's all just a big blur). It turned out nice because the trees set a good frame for the shot, then I just chopped the tree tops and the road off to give it that wide-angle look :D.

 

yeah it has a panoramic look to it

i need to get out more and really start working on getting decent.

 

It just takes time. I've only been shooting for about 6 months, and I know all the settings on the camera now, but I still don't know how to take different style shots. One that I've wanted to work on figuring out, is getting a clear shot of the car, with streaks behind it. I know it involves a delayed flash, but I just haven't been able to figure it out .

 

u jsut set ur flash for like second curtain or something like that.

i've been shooting for years and u can't really tell. ha ha Half of being good is just knowing HOW to take the shots and the techniques behind it

 

Yeah, I've been playing around with exposure lately. I've noticed that slightly over exposed shots with my f1.8 lens REALLY bring out the color in things (PTuning xA engine bay shot for example). I've also been having fun with long exposure shots, they just come out so much better when you let in a little amount of light over a long time, rather than a lot of light over a short time.

 

yeah long exposures make colors so much more rich and vibrant. especially on a low ISO.
