you could probably get it repaired for a couple hundred bucks then sell it too

eber · 04-26-2010, 10:24 PM

there is a company on ebay that will replace the chip for ~$100 but the a100 is the first DSLR that Sony made and I doubt I will make much off it, I might be better off selling it "as is"

if anyone knows of anyone in the market for a Sony 70-200 G telephoto lens please let me know

(if this is against any rules please let me know TOE)

T-BONE, I think I just named my praying mantis. A T-bone steak, taters, corn and a CC. It was a mighty fine Monday, if I may say so myself.

Ok, so here's a quick shot of a silk knot in the my lightbox. Couldn't really find much interesting to shoot so I just grabbed whatever was nearby.

kgraybill · 04-28-2010, 07:41 PM

These are not my shots but she is my granddaughter (15). My Friend Peter Belvin-belvinphotoghraphy.com did this shoot for another friend that is a hair and makeup artist to use in her Portfolio. Cheyenne is inexperienced yet was chosen over many other experienced models for this shoot. Peter sent these today with permission to post. I hope I'm not breaking any rule by posting work that is not mine.

Since the shoot was for the makeup artist I'm sure I did not get the best shots but I was so proud I had to share them.

Beautiful Ken!

Coming from someone who dabbled in fashion, nice work and nice model, highlights her face wonderfully

Thanks, I hope that she takes the advice of the photographer and the makeup artist and take this seriously. Or it may be my fear that she will.

What do you guys think of the Nikon 50mm 1.8?

Was it a homemade lightbox? If so how'd you do it?

You can still give it, I just don't display it.

Just a 12"x12"x12" cardboard box with three sides cut out and tracing paper glued to cover the sides. I lay it down so the box is open at one end and the left, right and top are the open sides. I have a posterboard inside the box curving up the back so I get the seamless background look. Two work lights with CFL's lit this one and that's it. It cost me ~$20 including the posterboards, tracing paper, lights and bulbs and took about an hour to set up.

d40

and

I like to shoot people / animals and small objects mostly. I am not really great at landscape.

Wolfgang · 04-29-2010, 02:55 PM

Darrell I have the 50mm 1.8 and the 35mm 1.8. At the moment the 35 just stays on the camera becuae it gives that classic 50mm view most of use are indoctrinated with. Moving from ~50mm to ~75mm with your crop sensor isnt worth the hundred bucks IMO. I say go from something like the 80mm F2.8 with a crop around 120mm.

Thats my next route and the 50 1.8 will be deligated to my N80 for film use.
Plus the 50 1.8 wont auto focus on your D40. Unless there you go with the 50mm 1.4G for 4X the price. But it stops down more.

Thanks, my friend.

Why won't it auto focus on my d40?
