Re: Photography Thread
 

Thanks! The kids and their activities was the reason I went and picked up a camera and started taking pictures.... (one of the boy) Added bonus, they both get a kick out of looking at the results.... Vain little monsters...:r

Wolfgang has been talking lenses with me.

I'm thinking of getting the Nikon 35mm 1.8. It looks like it takes some really nice photos.

What do you guys think?

Re: Photography Thread
 

Im getting mine today. Ill post some pictures to kick you over the edge.

:tu

If I decide to get it, I'll do so tomorrow. :tu

Do you know if the d40 has the snap on clear plastic LCD cover like the other models? I can't seem to find it anywhere, also the "remote" works for the d40 right?

WARNING! BEWARE OF LOW-QUALITY LIGHTSTANDS! Recently, I purchased a lightstand at a bargain price, but after using it for just one nighttime
shoot, it seized up and could not be used. I tried to return it, but the seller refused; he told me it was a one-night stand. ;-)

Week old sandhill cranes in my back yard. Where were these 2 weeks ago?! :ss

Re: Photography Thread
 

hahaha, the legs look so disproportional

Re: Photography Thread
 

Sweet! Is that with your new lens?

Re: Photography Thread
 

unfortunatly no. It ended up being backordered. Itll be a couple weeks till I get it. This was shot with the 55-200 F4-5.6

I was pissed!

Re: Photography Thread
 

I just got back from San Jose Camera, they took me for a 35mm 1.8f lens, a UV filter for it, and a remote. :tu

Re: Photography Thread
 

I'll post some photos later in the week once I get to AZ, but damn I like this lens!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Smart move. I dont leave the store without a UV filter on it.

Congrats on the new pickup!

The remote is fun for night pictures.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Same here, every lens I've bought I immediately got the UV filter.

It had some dust in it from the package so I cleaned it with some canned air and voila, it was ready to roll.

This lens is super light.

Re: Photography Thread
 

and yet it has a metal mount. The front glass doesn't move so dust wont get into the lens as easily. A circular polarizer would be a good candidate for this lens since the front element doesn't rotate.

These were both shot with the 35mm on 1.8 with the built in flash, not the SB-600.
