^^^^That photo sucks. It's so cliché

10/11/2007 9:10:31 PM

Take it easy Annie Leibovitz. Yes its been done before, it still looks good regardless.

10/11/2007 9:32:24 PM

j/k man...aeneas is good buddy. The attempt at refereeing was cute though

meh

10/11/2007 11:16:39 PM

^^ Where is that?

10/12/2007 12:33:28 AM

Lake Norman. That was taken at about 10pm.

10/12/2007 11:10:24 AM

many pics from Viriginia International Raceway== a few were taken with my Canon A540 so they are not the SLR, but most are

My SLR broke, but under Sears' replacement plan, they gave me a Rebel XT for a 300D!! 3 Years newer technology, 8mp v 6mp too. (The fact that I work there is not relevant, I had to buy the plan option, glad I did, same service for any joe customer)

^nice panning. looks like a sweet event, too

This is from Tokyo, during the 2 weeks out of the year when the Sakura blossoms are blooming

10/12/2007 12:53:33 PM

I edit all my pictures to be 1920X1080 so I can display the perfectly on a 1080p samsung LCD that has a continuous slide-show function, thus the 'widescreen' cropping that I did for those

Can't wait to try out the Rebel XT with more resolution in the future at races; going to be a good 2008 for me and racetracks

10/14/2007 7:37:37 AM

All taken with a D200. Some with flash, some not, variety of lenses from the Nikon 18-70, 50mm, and possibly one or two with the Tamron 18-250, I can't remember. These 3 weddings were a few weeks ago.

10/14/2007 10:49:52 AM

^That's some really solid stuff, Aaron!

Here's some of mine from a wedding/engagement last weekend:

fuck, thx for the warning...should be fixed now

Survey markers are just so neat to take pictures of. This is one at Blowing Rock

10/15/2007 12:05:38 AM

i've always been fond of right-of-way monuments

10/15/2007 12:08:14 AM

so i have a Canon Rebel XT, but im still new to photography. What's the best way for me to take some decent pictures in low lighting without it being blurry? i know it's tough with digital, but without a flash it's always blurry, with a flash it doesnt do anything for a bigger area.

10/15/2007 12:24:17 AM

It's called a tripod.

10/15/2007 1:48:26 AM

im sure that would help tremendously, but what about when it's moving subjects. For example i took pics during flag football, but they were either blurry or dark

10/15/2007 2:25:44 AM

Unless you spend $$$$ on a fast lens, f/2.8 or better, you're gonna be stuck using a flash, and even then, action shots at night are still extremely hard to take photos of. My advice, find something easier in a better light situation to take photos of to learn photography on.

10/15/2007 2:31:42 AM

yeah thats good advice. what about something like a concert where pics are blurry without fast movement?

10/15/2007 2:33:00 AM

uhg, the people kissing in the photos really need to close their eyes

10/15/2007 4:51:57 AM

change the ISO to 1600 when it gets dark.

just don't forget to change it back to 100 when the sun comes out.

10/15/2007 8:52:49 AM

i should have pictures to add soon
replaced my battery charger so now i can get my pics off my camera
hope to be uploading some stuff w/in the next few days

My friend just took these, I won't take credit for them, I was just impressed on the clarity without the use of a tripod.

10/15/2007 12:32:37 PM

Nice work! Where was he located to get such a great view?

10/15/2007 1:41:47 PM

I have a Canon bag I bought a couple of months back when I bought my Rebel camera (something I have since returned for financial reasons).

It is in 100% brand new shape, and I spent $45 on it. Obviously I have no use for it, so if anyone here wants it, make an offer.

Photo in my gallery.

10/24/2007 2:20:59 PM

Sunday I will got to VIR for the last time this year, with my new Rebel XT, I hope it will be nice outside. Should come back with some awesome stuff, It will be my third time up there- I should have a good idea of exactly where to go and set up now.

10/26/2007 5:52:49 PM

I'm going to Chicago and Milwaukee in the next few weeks. Any suggestions on what, where to shoot? Besides the architecture of course.

I have the kit lens and the nifty fifty. What are some lenses you suggest for my canon xti?

10/26/2007 7:49:47 PM

I would junk your kit lens and get an EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens and let that be your primary lens. If you need something telephoto, then pick up something like a 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM. Lots of people in Chicago like to shoot the bean.

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 8:28 PM. Reason : 75]

10/26/2007 8:16:08 PM

^ exactly the setup that I have for my XTi, except i'm going to go for the 70-200 F/4L for my telephoto, a bit better quality than the IS zoomer and not much more $$$.

although i'm really wanting to get the 50 F/1.4 as my primary lens

10/26/2007 10:55:37 PM

10/26/2007 11:07:36 PM

^nice, ^^ thanks for the heads up, I'll do some reading on those lenses.

10/27/2007 1:24:59 PM

^^ That first on has dynamic range issues and the second one goes overboard on color saturation.

10/27/2007 2:21:01 PM

The first one was converted to b&w and thats it. and yea... I TWW'ed the 'bean' shot.

10/28/2007 12:54:59 AM

My new toy...not really mine, but whatever.

This is shortly before I locked the machine up, and had to cut out my knitting



Near the first picture.

Anyone have recommendations on a camera/laptop backpack?

I have been eying Crumpler and Lowepro but found there are other brands such as Kata and Tamrac. Which ones do you own or used and would recommend?

I tired the Lowepro CompuDaypack but it was kind of cheap and limited IMO. I was wondering if the Kata and Crumpler were worth their prices?
