Re: Photography Thread
I was at the camera store today picking up some film. I saw something on the shelf and i just had to grab it. Too many good reviews and recommendations to pass up.

Im currently looking at highschool AP photo classes and all I see and hear is bokeh, bokeh, bokeh. I bugs the hell out of me that so many new photographers (not directed at you in any way) use the technique to mask the fact that they cannot take a picture that is in perfect focus. Ansel Adams is rolling over in his grave as I type this. ;) |

An alternate viewpoint for your consideration. AS ALWAYS, shoot what you like and like what you shoot! (yup, ripped that off from cigars, buts its applicable!) I ditched my FongDong a few years ago. Relegated it to the occasional wireless 2nd flash usage before it mercifully got lost. Save the packaging on yours, head to walmart and give this thing a try. I shot entire weddings with it for the last few years. http://www.abetterbouncecard.com/a-b...-the-original/ That's the website and the ORIGINAL bounce card that I have, use and love. It look's like he's done a lot of renovations in the last 3 years and turned it into a business. He used to just show you how to make them. Feel free to peruse the site, but HERE is the video on how to make it yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNCmuExlHvM (disclaimer: he rambles, have patience) His rubber bands work really well (I have one), but you can use a couple of those colored wristbands every charity and cause organization in the world sells for a $1. I haven't tried any of his commercial products, but they look quite good and I swear by his original version. Rubber bands + scissors + walmart + flat-packing = win This was almost certainly done with that card - note the complete absence of raccoon eyes, and that was very much a spur of the moment shot with ZERO setup.

Re: Photography Thread
Really just a series of snapshots rather than a proper photo. Shot at ISO 3200, f/2.8, 42mm, 1/125-1/160, AI Servo AF, aperture priority.

Re: Photography Thread
Scary! Is this multiple set ups or did your lens auto focus between shots?

okay, I'll tell. it's actually two setups. first two shots are one take, second two are a second take. notice how well the camera stayed focused on the cue between 1 & 2, though the subject (cue) distance changed from 3.97 to 3.19m. those were shots 2 & 3 of a continuous shutter setup; but my batteries don't have their best charge (been running on the same charge for over a week with a lot of shooting) and the high ISO slows things down a little, so I missed the landing. At its best, though, this camera will only capture 3.x/sec -- and we're talking under a full charge and optimal ISO & lighting. it's a fun series, no? :D |

the first picture looks soft; but it may be camera shake. the second picture is over exposed in the foreground, probably from the flash going off; but it looks a lot sharper. PS, I wanna herf on *your* back patio. :D :tu |

Sure ... you'll get a lot of crap shots; but that's part of the learning process. Another thing: shoot in RAW and use the Nikon RAW processing software or one of the Adobe products (Lightroom or Adobe Camera RAW, which is part of Photoshop/Bridge). Aside from snapshots, the JPEGs aren't as useful. With RAW, you have a lot more control over your image in post-processing and are able to correct things that wouldn't be possible with JPEGs. Finally, join a good photography forum. I'm becoming a fixture on a Canon one. While I can't recommend a specific Nikon one, I know there are one or two out there (because I've heard them mentioned by Nikon folks). :) Have fun!!!!! |

Re: Photography Thread
woohoo, found some of my London pictures on the webserver. I was there for 6 weeks shooting, with a week in Prague mixed in there. That was 3 1/2 years ago, my post-processing routine has improved A LOT since then....
