wow, randy, that's reallllly pretty. do you have the original i could get? it'd be cool for a desktop, esp @ school.

6/29/2006 12:42:57 AM

Here are a few from today, the first time I shot with my new lens...none of which I like very much, but I wanted to get some practice in.





this one is a little darker than I wanted, but it was pretty overcast and I took it mid-stride

6/29/2006 1:32:21 AM

^haha, funny dog

whats this new lens you got?

-ZiP!-

6/29/2006 1:36:44 AM

got this baby yesterday: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3302&navigator=6

I was unsure about it at first, but shot around with it in the camera store for awhile and had to get it. I think I love it...not to mention the fact that I had been using the kit lens from a film Rebel Ti for the past month.

6/29/2006 1:43:45 AM

I got some good pictures in DC...Dunno when I'll get around to posting them though...maybe tonight

6/29/2006 10:14:21 AM

does anyone know if Southeastern Photo in Cary would have a 50mm f/1.8? I remember the last time I was in there they had a bunch of lenses. I'll give them a call at lunch time.

Is there any other local places that would carry that lens?

6/29/2006 11:08:06 AM

i would imagine so... its a popular lense.

6/29/2006 11:25:28 AM

^^Are you looking to buy it? If so, I bought mine off amazon for like $71 bucks.

6/29/2006 12:29:17 PM

I got mine on Amazon too for about 74 bucks.

6/29/2006 12:47:28 PM

the Nikon version of the 50mm f/1.8 is like $109 i think but oh well, i've been very happy with it

i still need a fixed wide angle like whoa

Good ole nifty fifty.



Here are some shots from Wapred Tour. I don't feel like posting them, so knock yourself out with the link.

ok, but really, who is interested in a photography contest...

lets just say no money prize unless there is an entry fee(which i ain't dealin with)

maybe have different categories like "color" and "black/white"
or "people" or something like that...

i dunno, can i get an "i'd be up for that" or a "eh, nah not interested"

and keep in mind i'd rather see new stuff than old stuff.

Canon SD200 point and shoot

i took it several years ago at the rose garden behind hillsborough st



it looks better bigger but i cant make it bigger so baaaaaaah

[Edited on June 29, 2006 at 6:02 PM. Reason : bigger is better]

6/29/2006 6:01:37 PM

That pic is one of my favorites, Ronny. Actually, ALL of the Warped Tour shots are pretty damn good. I could see a lot of them used on those bands' webpages, in their gallery area. The AFI shots are really good.

^Bigger like this? Or bigger like a higher resolution?

6/29/2006 6:30:20 PM

hey chocolatervh --

my answer to your question about a contest:

"i might be up for it."

i wanna try to enter some at some point that could actually make it onto a resume.

im not sure that TWW counts

-ZiP!-

6/30/2006 12:52:52 AM

^^both but that will do... thxu

I have a bunch of shots from my trip from europe on my 20D....I havent uploaded them yet but when I do Ill post some here.

Ronny: did you take that set list pick with your 60mm Marco? Im having a lot of fun with that lens.

[Edited on June 30, 2006 at 8:41 AM. Reason : page 26 ]

6/30/2006 8:41:11 AM

Nah, I used a 24-70 for most of the Warped Tour photos.

6/30/2006 10:30:19 AM

page 26 needs pictures

6/30/2006 7:57:13 PM

too much blue on the dress. you sure do love your blues don't ya?

6/30/2006 8:01:43 PM

i have got to get some pictures up in here...if i get any good ones at the launch tomorrow, i'll post those

6/30/2006 8:02:47 PM

I picked up that Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 tonight, it was more expensive to buy locally, but I wanted it for vacation next week, cant wait to try this thing out

6/30/2006 8:07:23 PM

thanks for comment. i shot this at sundown so it was really warm, i added a cooling filter, i like it better more "happy" feel.

6/30/2006 8:14:52 PM

Now that's a ballsy ladybug.

6/30/2006 9:33:44 PM

That is a cool shot.
Very cool.

6/30/2006 9:57:36 PM

Awwwww, thank you for being nice!

6/30/2006 11:24:37 PM

my first attempt at any kind of post processing, mainly some resampling to reduce the size

i also tried some color play, but really had no idea what i was doing

7/1/2006 12:40:51 AM

Playing around with the tools is the best way to get started, lol. When I was young I'd just go through the help tutorials and try using the tools in their topics.

7/1/2006 7:52:50 AM

Gosh I wish I had a nice camera...the difference in clarity between my camera and some of your super high quality cams is amazing!!! But alas, my broke self will have to make do with what I've got.

Here's a little frog that I found this morning on my plants:

7/1/2006 9:17:13 AM

very nice shot

hows the summer treating you?

[Edited on July 1, 2006 at 9:34 AM. Reason : ]

7/1/2006 9:33:26 AM

thanks! It was good timing, but mostly luck

Things are going well...BUSY...and the traffic is insane, but beyond that I'm fantastic You?

7/1/2006 9:46:03 AM

extremely busy, dang tourists are everywhere

7/1/2006 9:49:32 AM

7/1/2006 9:53:51 AM

^^haha I hear ya...got big plans for the 4th?

^thanks for showing me up, Nick!

7/1/2006 9:57:42 AM

big plans? i work until ~7pm and have to be up early wed. morning, so I don't know what I'll be doing. you?

7/1/2006 10:59:38 AM

i'm charging up my camera for this thread. hopefully i can make y'all proud

7/1/2006 11:03:13 AM

^you have a DSLR? nice

-ZiP!-

7/1/2006 11:51:47 AM

^its not a DSLR, but i'm interested in seeing the pictures

7/1/2006 12:02:52 PM

^ yeah, what he said.

I'm going outside to see what Centennial has to offer

7/1/2006 12:51:38 PM

Since I haven't learned the ways of photography yet, pretty much all of the settings for these photos were at the camera's discretion

My Backyard:


Pass through in the parking deck near by


Venture Buildings


The Emergency pole is slightly off...

to get everyone in the mood, some shots from the 2004 and 2005 firework shows in Nags Head.

7/1/2006 4:11:02 PM

^^cool, nice symmetry

^nice man, can you tell me the best way you found to shoot those? what kinda lens + settings did you find yourself using?

-ZiP!-

7/1/2006 4:28:45 PM

the first 4 are with the d70, kit lens at 18mm (i parked too close), f5.6 mostly but could have/should have used f8 or f11, ISO 200, set the shutter to bulb and hold it down from when the shell is launched until you want to stop the exposure. the last ones were with a nikon coolpix 5700, 100 iso, 2-8" exposure, f4 to f8. basically i adjusted settings a lot and shot a lot, 200-300 shots each year, then edited out the bad ones and the rediculously bad ones.

this year I plan to get a little farther away and be able to use something like the 50mm f1.8 @ f8, give a cleaner perspective.

[Edited on July 1, 2006 at 4:38 PM. Reason : ]

7/1/2006 4:36:51 PM

Those are beautiful shots, I'm looking forward to more.

7/1/2006 7:12:33 PM

ah - thanks a bunch for the explanation - shooting on bulb is a great idea for it - and with 200 ISO you won't get any annoying noise i imagine - i'll have to test out your instructions on the 4th hopefully

-ZiP!-

7/1/2006 10:36:10 PM

7/1/2006 10:50:41 PM

the fireworks shots are great...i tried some last night - not so nice

shot this afternoon, its the flat-iron building near 23rd street in manhattan:

7/1/2006 11:19:27 PM

So this is definately not in the same league as the photos everyone else has on here and might not even fit the description but i think it's pretty cool. Took the original of my ex a year or a so ago:
