Re: Photography Thread
 

I hear you. I was shooting the two girls at the same bar last night, so I took a f/1.8 50 and D200
and a D90 with a 3.5-5.6 18-55mm and 'locked down' my ISO at 1250, too keep noise down,
and then out-thought myself one step FURTHER, telling myself I did not have to shoot them wide open,
no, I wanted the pictures to be SHARP, so I stop it down some, too, and I get home and I have a mountain
of blurred photos, and weak focus from shake. And weak focus from zone errors, stuff like perfectly focused
MICROPHONES and 5hit like that. SUCH an amateur. I sat there and shot on ridiculously low shutter speeds,
CAUSE I AM SMART, I KNOW MORE THAN A CAMERA. Stuck that sucker in A-priority to keep my photos 'sharp', lol.


Stupid a55.

I mean, I DID get some great shots. I always find a way. But the ratio is laughable.

Re: Photography Thread
 

:r that sux bro. Won't be a problem with the D700

Re: Photography Thread
 

I have some good lenses in stock now, this other stuff was bought for the D100 and D70.
They are not the showpiece items that allow me to shoot tele in a bar or football games or anything,
but a good mix of ranges in AF-D lenses and some nice AIS pieces in primes. Got a 2.8 24mm AI, a 3.5 135mm AI,
a 1.8 50mm AF-D, a 35mm 1.8 AF-S, a 35-135mm AF-D, a sharp 70-210mm AF-D, my Sigma 10-20mm, so I have
things I can use. What lacks in me at the moment is smarts and technique. I do dumb things and use lazy
technique. Its the viewfinder curse....you SEE a great picture, never knowing that what you are actually
recording is digital SHI+. And I am blind as a frickin bat. That never helps in a 'focus' hobby.

Re: Photography Thread
 

How many THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS do you think I could have saved had I just listened to you up front?
I should have sent that mistake D700 back to BH and said, "Hey how about an honesty discount on another one
off your shelf? Maybe picked up a polished one for 1300.... NO D90, No 2 D200s, no $75 D50. No $99 D-70 with 69k snaps.

:r yeh but hey, u live and learn.

I am thinking about plunking down my $15 bucks in the morning for the Memphis Zoo.
Pull nice save out of my butt for the weekend. TODAY waas so nice, I think lot of
folks hit the zoo, I think I can beat the after church crowd if I open the place up at 9am.
Makes sense to me. Maybe I will get lucky.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Not me, buddy...............not me.
never have been able to, ain't gonna start at 50.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Lol. Do it! Go to da zoo! Get there at open is always best.

$1400 for the Canon 6D......damn, that's a lot of money!! If I lived closer to the ocean, I'd consider it.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Thats actually not a bad price at all for a great camera. If you think thats bad you should have seen the bill when i got my 1dMark III. Now that one hurt still to this day. Lol

Re: Photography Thread
 

ya i just bought a d800 i wanted the d4 but my wife told me no..

Re: Photography Thread
 

Yeah but d800 is nice!

Re: Photography Thread

Re: Photography Thread
 

Nice pics Ricky.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Yeah the Mark III is awesome though. I was talking about the waterproof case, it's $1400. :D

Re: Photography Thread
 

Canon 6D is )1899 new buddy. Where u see $1400?

ETA: nevermind saw post above :r

Re: Photography Thread
 

I got mine on Amazon for $1790....something close to that. I see they are now $1899 again. I know it was less than $1800, part of the reason why I jumped on it at the time. Of course when I go back and look at my order history, it only shows the order total. I bought a few other things at the time so it's hard to tell how much it actually was. :sh

Re: Photography Thread
 

:tu it's all good. The 7d is like $1299 and I was like psh my as go to the 6d

Re: Photography Thread
 

There really are some amazing shots in this thread and while I don't have the kind of equipment you guys do or the talent, I do enjoy taking pictures. Mostly nature and landscape stuff.

Here's one from my anniversary trip to Oregon.

Multnomah Falls:

Re: Photography Thread
 

Very nice picture tony! Crop out that railing! :D

On second look, nvm looks like you might cut off the water fall hitting the standing water if you do that.

Re: Photography Thread
 

It's ok my wife doesn't now about the 6d. It's ok though. We have the setup that as long as the bills are paid its all good. She wouldn't understand me trying to explain the differences between cameras. She would have just given the smile and nod haha

Re: Photography Thread
 

Thanks Justin, I'm glad you like it!

Here's another from the same trip, off of Cannon Beach Oregon:

Nice shots, Tony!

Re: Photography Thread
 

This is WELL WORTH WATCHING, you are going to be shocked and likely chuckle out loud
when you see this guy cleaning his lenses. Quite an amazing video JUST FOR THAT.
