Further showing an inability to follow instructions, some old 35mm pics I dug up:

Where can I find whether my camera will read a 2G/4G?

I'm poking around dpreview.com

6/21/2006 1:27:25 AM

Fuji Finepix S9000 9.0 MP

this one wasnt that great, but my batteries were dying

I'll take the tripod and get some better shots at the parade on Peace St. tommorow

This thread needs more pictures of flowers and animals.

Those are amazingly clear pictures though... how did you clear out so much of the noise?

6/21/2006 1:56:06 AM

Thanks guys.

^ The photos were shot at 800 ISO so that helped immensely with the noise.

^^^^ Ambrosia, what camera do you have?

6/21/2006 4:00:21 AM

Some shots from yesterday. I had my 30D and 24-70, as well as a 580ex and sync cord to play with. I have almost no experience with a flash, but I had fun playing with it. Luckily I have friends that weren't weirded out by me taking random photos of them.

pir8 is telling him to raise the price

6/21/2006 11:38:34 AM

yeah, not to turn this into a debate, but i doubt pirating would stop in any significant capacity unless prices were cut so low that the profit margin became unacceptable

6/21/2006 11:54:15 AM

some more lightning from the other night

6/21/2006 1:03:48 PM

Good stuff dude. Where were they taken from?

6/21/2006 1:05:05 PM

how do you catch those? i mean, you obviously don't sit at a window hope you snap the picture at the same moment the lightning flashes...

do you just set your camera to keep taking shots at specified intervals until it fills up the card? i can do that with my camera, but i don't know how, yet

6/21/2006 1:06:45 PM

Long exposure.
Put camera on tripod, set focus to infinity, and let her rip.



I'm assuming that is how he did it. Either that or he has impeccable timing.

set focus to infinity? again, i don't have a dslr , but i do have both manual and auto focus modes

6/21/2006 1:09:55 PM

Focus on the buildings (if you were in that scenario)

6/21/2006 1:11:15 PM

i'll have to try it next time, thanks

6/21/2006 1:20:35 PM

Ronny, I love that third one.

What kind of maintenance/upkeep should be done on a DSLR...whether regularly or periodically?

6/21/2006 7:16:26 PM

I try to clean the exterior of the camera/lenses every day that I use it. I sometimes get people at the club spilling drinks on it too.

I need to send it to get cleaned though; there is too much sensor dust.

6/21/2006 7:22:59 PM

I just ordered this camera for my trip to China:



I hope it works well for a compact camera

6/21/2006 7:30:40 PM

i must say i have never heard of that company

6/21/2006 8:00:18 PM

ditto

6/21/2006 8:02:39 PM

random stuff from today

6/21/2006 8:42:26 PM

^^^^My, I say, that is a big lens you got there

6/21/2006 9:17:10 PM

Ricoh makes the Caplio R4 - the all-in-one printer/fax/scanner/etc machine in our office is made by them. mckoonts convinced me to get it.

From what I've read, the R4 came out in England and hasn't really made it over here yet.

^Yeah, I commented on the lens assembly too.

6/22/2006 1:03:36 AM

Ricoh was a pretty good company way back in the day... no clue how they are now.

6/22/2006 9:08:01 AM

it's not an SLR, but my camera finally got here

6/22/2006 11:21:01 AM

Congrats! Its a nice camera too.

6/22/2006 5:27:54 PM

i'm selling my lenses

oh man this is gonna hurt my soul.

6/22/2006 5:38:42 PM

Why?

6/22/2006 6:38:08 PM

ambrosia...you'll like the 12x zoom. take some pics!

6/22/2006 7:04:25 PM

I've been playing with it at work

I am LOVING this camera...thanks to everyone who reassured me about my decision, be it here or elsewhere

6/22/2006 7:05:34 PM

post some of the photos you've been taking at work

6/22/2006 7:42:16 PM

i'm still at work, and the USB drive on this computer is disabled

6/22/2006 7:49:04 PM

k, I expect macro shots of paperclips soon though

6/22/2006 7:55:19 PM

how's a walkietalkie?

6/22/2006 7:55:54 PM

congrats on the camera!

6/22/2006 8:41:33 PM

Bored at work...what?



Both taken on super macro, right up against the screen


Yay dirty keyboards!




Yay texturegasms!


My bf took this picture, playing around. If there's ever a fire here, my books will be one of the first posessions I mourn.



Light meter- spot evaluation. Aimed it right at the filament

Tungsten setting, automatic

I forget

Quick StitchAssist...the original is HUUUUUUUUUUGE. I can't wait to use this in the mountains. This is ~120 degrees

6/22/2006 11:36:02 PM

^holy cow that last one is cool....

and haha shout out on the aim list.

the texturegasm and books are pretty cool too. the books have an old school feel. i think it's the bookcase. maybe it's just the books themselves, and the pic. idk.

6/22/2006 11:56:54 PM

I forgot a card


Evidently, I posted the "thumbnail" (as much as they can be called that) version of my pics. d'oh!


Too late to edit:

i´vé béén taking somé night shots off of my friend´s apartment building rooftop here in buenos aires, but somehow i feel like the mirror is causing the extra long exposures to become blurry, because the camera is stationary on the building... is that super common? i dont have experience with "locking up" the mirror. thanks!

also: great that more people are now contributing, great shots on this page and the last.

docido: i didnt catch those shots for some reason, théy arén´t loading on this internet cafe computer, i´ll have to check ém out later

-!ZiP!-

6/23/2006 10:53:22 AM

its possible. then again the mirror doesn't slap for very long...

6/23/2006 12:52:47 PM

I've got a question about getting a new fast prime lens for some low light / portrait stuff, here are two of my choices:

EF 50mm f/1.8 II is only $80, cheap price for a fast 50mm lens, no USM though so its slow to focus
EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is $290, is it really worth it over the f/1.8?

Also, I know they make this lens:
EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM, its $385

Exactly what advantage does this Macro lens have over the the two above? is it just the very small minimum focal length?

6/23/2006 12:54:50 PM

I'm loving the pix, but reading this thread makes me aware that I don't know shit about photography

6/23/2006 1:00:35 PM

^^ I have the 1.8 and I love it. Its a cheap build and I've heard of defective instances but everyone who has one can live with it over the 1.4. With that said, I know some people that live by the 1.4. If I had the money and inclination i'd get the 1.4 but I dont need it. I think the 1.8to1.4 does let in a good deal more light.

It is somewhat slow, but an amazing sharp lens. The macro capability is amazing. I own it and I am super happy with it.

As for the other ones, the 1.4 is worth the price over the 1.8 mainly because it is USM. The build quality will be MUCH higher, focus will be faster and more accurate, and it is a faster lens. You get what you pay for.
