I dunno how to give one.

It would probably help if the original shot were taken in *.nef format.

1/28/2009 8:02:23 PM

LOL WHAT'S RAW?

I JUST SHOOT GREEN SQUARE. SOMETIMES THE ON-CAMERA FLASH POPS UP AND I AM OK WITH THAT.

A lifesaver for vertical shots. You will not be dissapointed.

1/29/2009 12:32:08 AM

I've never shot without a grip before so I wouldn't know the difficulties of it. I usually just add the grip to the cost of the body and shoot for that. Although, I might omit the option when I get the new 5d, god damn those grips are hella expensive and so is the new batteries.

1/29/2009 11:28:13 AM

I'm shooting the Wake vs. Miami women's bball game Sunday for the paper, oy. Never shot a sport indoors before.

1/29/2009 1:00:19 PM

what's in your camera bag again?

1/29/2009 1:11:24 PM

eh for this I'll mainly be using my 70-300 f/4-5.6 I guess, unless I can manage to check out a 70-200 2.8 from the equipment room. Also a 50 1.4, 11-16, and xsi with kit lens.

nice assignment sheet, wished we had something like that at the Technician with a little guidance instead of "go shot baseball or tennis". BH is taking 5D mkII orders... I'm like one button away from ordering it... oh god... I'm gonna be in debt for the rest of the year...

On the small off chance,

Do any of you know anything about Virginia Intermont's Photography program?

1/29/2009 10:20:50 PM

^^^ It'd be cool to to see a shot of a fast break while standing courtside-midcourt with the Tokina if you could capture a layup while also capturing the dumbfounded-"awww damnit" look of the people in the backcourt

1/29/2009 10:46:08 PM

just ordered the 5d...


I'm broke

1/29/2009 11:23:32 PM

white balance is a bit off and they look a bit under exposed, but I like the pics. nice

[Edited on January 29, 2009 at 11:27 PM. Reason : ]

1/29/2009 11:26:30 PM

^^the Sigma 10-20 on my d40... It distorts in fun ways... both shots were all but touching the animals

^ my laptop that I normally use is rather bright so I have distinguishing proper exposure... my d40 is set to -0.7 as recommended... the white balance is something I do actually mess with when setting up shots but those were fairly candid and unplanned... I'm explaining not making excuses...

[Edited on January 29, 2009 at 11:36 PM. Reason : making sense... explaining the shots]

1/29/2009 11:27:23 PM

cool cool. neat photos.

1/29/2009 11:33:50 PM

the Sigma 10-20 would look pretty awesome on a FF

1/29/2009 11:46:08 PM

unless your monitor is calibrated, don't trust it to make your changes, instead, use the histogram. It's a good tool to reference as it gives you a graphic representation of the tonal range. By the looks of it both are about a stop under.

1/29/2009 11:48:14 PM

Which of these is better?

* Canon - Rebel K2 or Elan 7Ne

* Nikon - FM10 or F100

i love clicking this thread but the past 2 months has turned into a bitchfest btw everyone and Kiwi.
none of you are actual professionals. get over yourselves this is tww for pete's sake.

1/30/2009 1:01:26 AM

haha yeah the bitching in this thread is top notch

i dont know shit about cameras but i check this thread regularly for laughs

1/30/2009 1:03:11 AM

What do you have lenses for?

1/30/2009 1:04:35 AM

well lets look at the obvious

elan = the prosumer models
rebel = hobbyist/consumer models

i don't fuck with nikon so i have no clue

but again

you're buying a film camera now?

1/30/2009 1:05:27 AM

It's a requirement for this college if I attend. I'm just doing a bit of research.

1/30/2009 1:07:39 AM

what college

devry?

i hope there aren't any art history questions

I posted the school in this thread fuckhead.

1/30/2009 1:10:12 AM

this is all i need to see

Quote :

"Residential Status Each Semester Annual On-campus students $13,847.50/semester or $27,695/year (Tuition, room and board and a 21/week meal plan included) -Off-campus students $10,600/semester $21,200/year Additional costs for books, personal expenses and travel should be budgeted. "

why the fuck would you spend ~30 grand a year to get a photography degree?

plus, you're going to think the professors are just trolling you when you turn in a crooked duck photo

1/30/2009 1:17:49 AM

Gotta start somewhere and I wouldn't live on campus for one.

Like I said, doing research currently, so fuck off. Unless you have anything USEFUL to add you may promptly shut the fuck up and exit thread. Otherwise you'll be ignored, sry

1/30/2009 1:22:37 AM

I've got an old school Pentax I'll sell you... Lenses are cheap as hell for it

1/30/2009 1:27:52 AM

fine

1. it doesn't matter if you're not going to live on campus, you still gotta live somewhere
and unless you have family "INTERMONT"
you're gonna have a cost of living, right?

2. if you really must look at schools for your photography education

START WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES OR AT LEAST FUCKING PUBLIC SCHOOLS

you're looking at spending money to eventually make money right? you're not going to go back to school to get better at a hobby right?

so wouldn't it make sense to minimize your expenses since there is very little you can do to make photography a more lucrative career?

are you from virginia? check out VCU, its a pretty badass school, its not on accredidation probation like Intermont, and you can get a degree from them that will have some transferable skills AND a slightly larger amount of name recognition

but once again

do you think every pro shooter went to college to do it?
how many of them do you think went to expensive private schools?

but hey, you do what you want to do and act like nothing i say is productive just because i say it with a mocking tone

1/30/2009 1:28:42 AM

Talking to me gofigure?

I am moving to Bristol so I was trying to find a college close that has Photography, this is one that popped up. I don't know if it will suit my needs or not, right now I'm doing preliminary research. Obviously, if I committed to a 4 yr degree it would be more than a hobby. Where is VCU located in Virginia? To cut extra cost of living I am looking for minimum travel to preferred school.

Generally speaking how much financial aid could one get? Is it even worth factoring in?

1/30/2009 1:34:44 AM

move to bristol TN instead, its just over the border and you'd get in state tuition to ETSU

theres no way to get in state tuition to Intermont

now - plz answer my question:

No but I've wanted to go to college for a while and do something I love. According to tdub I need A LOT of help, school could be good for me. I don;t want to be a pro because I own a SLR.

Good call on ETSU

1/30/2009 1:56:10 AM

use your eyes! I'm constantly fiddling with exposure compensation. it's one of the easiest things to change on the camera for a reason.

Ken Rockwell...

but yeah, I'll try being more flexible with it in the future... There's a trick to getting the RGB histogram onscreen after a shot that I'll start trying more often... the pictures I took today were underexposed by almost 2 stops when I adjusted the RAW's in photoshop...(The pictures sucked period since I was messing with lighting on self portraits)

1/30/2009 2:08:16 AM
