I understand I may need to use it in full manual but did I mention it was free?
DO NO plug it into the side of the camera - YES there is the possibility of damage. Small.... but there...

thats what folks generally use to plug in.... but that would kind of defeat the purpose of free now wouldn't it?

Anyone else have some ideas for him?

I picked a used one up for a good price a while back. Optics were superb, but I didn't have much use for a 300mm lens, especially one that heavy.

Nub, I really like the vignetting on the 2nd one. Sometimes it is overused, but it works well here I think... looks natural

I sure am E.J. after shooting 500 pictures today my shoulder loosened up but now I have ice lol. Ive been reading the manual all day. My favorite parts are the flash commander, bracketing, and dials on the front and back of the grip. Still learning too.

P.s. I know I was talking about going canon but with 2 bags full of nikon bodes, lenses, and flashes its not cost effective. Both companies are equivalent (IMO) One is better one year and the next the following. I also put the 10mm 2.8 fisheye on hold. that would heve been good for curves lol.

The worlds original airplanes. Who woulda thunk youd be good at bird photos too?!

Here was my entry that I snapped for the curves assignment this week, but couldn't get home in time to submit (my dumb ass brought the laptop and card reader but not the USB cable for the card reader!)

fisheye is kind of cheating in a curves assignment, hahaha....

Default Re: Photography Thread

Seeing the tree shot in this weeks photo competition got me in the artistic mood, so I hope the original author does not mind that I played around with it a little.

I made it a warmer tone, but I very easily could have stayed with the cool tones and been happy, I was just in the mood for red at the moment. Filtered it out to a brushstroke texture and thats about it. If I was a nature painting fan, that could then get sent to a canvas printer and you got an instant painting, minus the frame

100% of any credit goes to the original author, not me. I just ran a couple filters, nothing more.
