Re: Cigar Photography
 

Did you format the card while it was in the camera before shooting?

Re: Cigar Photography
 

is was a dslr...............



no, I did not format the card to that camera, but used the same caRD in my d 40 right after that and those pics are there?

Re: Cigar Photography
 

What is the brand of the card?

Re: Cigar Photography
 

will look tonight.....It was cool however to see a Boil band fill the frame!

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Thanks Dan! For the insect shots, I also use a full set of Kenko Extention Tubes to get roughly 2:1 Magnification (2:1 = 2x actual size). The lens alone will only do 1:1. I just used the lens without tubes, and not at 1:1 for the cigar shots. Might have to try that though, tubes and all on a cigar.

Great job on the Macro shots David.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Thanks Dan! I can't wait to find 3 hours to burn that dark prince!

Re: Cigar Photography
 

I love these two shots.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

One of my favorites that I've done. Nice work everyone.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Nice shots everyone. Did anyone do a My Father shot or can they please?

Re: Cigar Photography
 

I was just gifted one... I'll take a few pics of it when I get a second.....

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Sweet thanks. I could use a new wallpaper.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

What size is your screen? I'll create one with that in mind and post it here:

Very nice use of depth of field.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Doesn't matter as I will just resize on mu iPhone. Thanks brother

Re: Cigar Photography
 

I've used a couple of mine for a wallpaper as well. Speaking of, if anybody see's anything of mine they wish to use as a wallpaper, just let me know. I'll get you the full size image or a size suitable for your desktop resolution. I run my res at 1680x1050 and they look good on my monitor.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

I actually prefer the size that photobucket shrinks to for my monitor with 1440X900 resolution. I don't like it when the picture takes the entire desktop. It makes it hard for me to see the picture and the shortcut icons.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Found the "missing" pics.....

Re: Cigar Photography
 

actually, I have a gurkha pic for you. My local B&M claims to have the most Gurkha of any retailer in the state. This entire section is dedicated to them. There are more that I couldn't fit in the pic.

Nice looking selection!

Re: Cigar Photography
 

One of my new year's resolutions is to learn how to use my canon rebel more effectively.

Build a lightbox today and started to snap some pics of some of my cigars. Here are the results.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Just want to learn how to snap better pictures.

Here is the link

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Wow, great pictures guys!

Makes me want to get a decent camera.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

yeah me too!

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Your white balance is off. Double check that it matches your lighting setup. It also looks like several of your pics are out of focus. Make sure your lens can take macro shots that close. The rebel should make a beep sound once the image is in focus.

EDIT: as the slideshow progressed, it looks like you got the focus problem solved. Just gotta work on that WB.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Thanks Chris. Can you tell me how to check my white balance? I am really new at this.

Thanks for your suggestions. The rebel did beep when it was in focus. Starting to get the hang of this.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

You have the rebel XT or XTi? There is a dedicated button for WB at the bottom of the directions buttons next to the screen on the XT and XTi. It looks like it's a round button just above the directional buttons on the XSi...

Your goal is to get the picture to look how you see it and the whites to be true white. If you are using fluorescent light, set it to the long bulb, etc...

EDIT: Something just hit me. What mode are you shooting in? Please don't tell me auto. lol! I can't remember if you can make adjustments to wb and ISO and all that in auto on a dslr. I haven't had one in about a year. You should really try your hand at shooting in manual mode. It's the only way to take full advantage of having a nice DSLR IMO. It just takes practice learning what settings to use for shutter speed, ISO, Aperature, WB, AF, and all the other cool settings.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

For this type of shooting I think Aperture priority is just as good as manual. Just imho.

Re: Cigar Photography
 

Nice picture
