Yep, right around the limit of depth of field, with fluroescent light. I calibrated the white balance and the colers came out really nice. Kinda blurry at that one part where the bottle curves around, though at the bottom.

Re: Photography Thread
But you are testing and messing, and that's what counts here at the ole Photography Thread.
Round these parts we don't cotton to folks leavin' their cameras in a sack. We want ACTION, babay. With that said, I am sorry that I left mine in the car after lunch. I wanted to shoot this new Little Caesar's " Deep!Deep! dish pizza. It's more of a thick crust, with the ingredients you SHOULD be getting on your hot and ready pizzas now but aren't. So for $3.00 more for a hot and ready, next time I will pass. If the crust was thick and fried and greasy like Pizza Hut's, I would almost let it slide. ANd hey, for $8.00, I GUESS its not BAD. But the deepest thing about this is the crust. I was drooling thinking about this being like I consider a deep dish pizza to be. Not today. Last edited by OLS; 04-11-2013 at 12:42 PM. |

Re: Photography Thread
Ehh, what the hell am I SAYING....just because I don't have MY camera in the bldg, THIS IS a
media department, I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a media tool. Cheapie lil Samsung compact camera works good enough for this test. You get a double pizza box, with 8 thick slices of pizza, you can tell by the pepperoni how big they are in relative terms. The way they are cut, they even LOOK like a good deep dish pizza. But that's as far as it goes. Once you bite it, you can peel pack the cheese a bit and see this thing is 4/5 crust and 1/5 stuff. For $8.00, ehh, OK, maybe. But if you are expecting a meal in a slice, it ain't happenin'. |

Re: Photography Thread
What? That's absolUTE-ly funny. I mean, unless you are chinese and easily offended.
I like that more than mine, which was merely slightly humorous. I guess Shark is not playing this week. Unless his beer label is to be construed as humorous. Next week....well, I was gonna say "angry dogs", but your pic was funnier, you can pick the theme for next week. |

Took these today while at my grandparents' house cutting their grass. NAS Jax is not far from their house, thus the P3 Orion.

Re: Photography Thread
Just ordered a nikon 50mm 1.8 for an upcoming trip. Going to be shooting with lots of water around so I picked up a circular polarizer as well. Any of you guys have tips on shooting with a polarizer on? Did I waste $20?

since they can really screw up the sky in wider angle shots. But if you keep an eye on your images after you take them, you can determine if you should continue to shoot with it on or not. It is only a problem in certain sitchos. It can cause dark streaks/swaths in the sky. |

Re: Photography Thread
Man, I am torn. Weather in New Orleans is going to be good this weekend, but it also happens to be the
French Quarter Festival, and the main reason I was going back this weekend was to shoot during the early hours of the morning when the light was good and there were not cars parked in every damn shot. But if its FQF weekend, not only will there be cars and people everywhere, but stages and trash cans and cables and porta-potties. I guess I will save myself for another weekend. |

Re: Photography Thread
Also remember that when you shoot with it, and you turn that camera sideways without a second thought to shoot
that tall shot, that you circ polarizer will be turned off axis and the effect will go away, so you have to remember to turn it 90 degrees. If there is one thing I have learned about amateur photography, its that its all so clear at home, and when you get on the scene and start shooting, everything you wanted to remember just flies out the window, lol. I imagine that its also easy for the pros to forget, but I bet its much less so. And there are no marks on it, you just turn it til the colors bloom or the effect you see is the one you desire. They are cool but it is easy to forget you have it mounted, and you may get home and see you forgot to turn it and all your pics in one direction look great, and all the ones the other orientation are dull and colorless. 5HI+ happens. |

really just shooting to test the lens. The D100 body tends to crush the blacks which is a nice effect if you want it, but could be considered a con or a defect in design when looked at critically. As a pro flower shot, you likely would not want it to be that dark overall. This is also the problem I have with the 1st generation DSLRs from Nikon. The LCDs are SO SMALL as to be useless in outdoor light for really being able to critically view your shot and make adjustments. So while my excuse is 'it was just a photowalk lens test', my dilemma remains going forward. But my main body, the D70 is a little smarter. You can see the two days' results, the first day with the D70, the same basic shots are better overall in terms of light balance. A further dilemma is the whole concept of fill-flash. I am not steeped in the photographic tradition. I have been shooting with SLRs since the mid-70s. But that was just the START. I dropped it as soon as my mirror assembly quit working about 1981. And I never was a good technique photog. The concept of fill flash was yet to be learned when I stopped shooting. Then in the mid 80s, I became a shooter by profession, video-wise. But when I began shooting stills again, I picked up a point and shoot. My composition and technique are solid, but my fundamentals are weak. I do not THINK about a shot in technical terms. I have a tool, an adjustable output flash, and I get so caught up in shooting the shot that I forget to raise the flash in appropriate, non-low-light sitchos. Same as I told Salvelinus about the circular polarizer....don't FORGET its THERE! Last edited by OLS; 04-12-2013 at 07:17 AM. |

Re: Photography Thread
Wow, talking about my first camera made me think back a long way. The very first thing I wanted to do
with my camera when I got it was to take perv pics. I guess that's why everyone gets that out of their system when they got a digital camera, gotta take shots naked just to revel in the fact that it will not have to be developed. But when my dad gave me this camera, I wanted to catch a cheerleader in mid-high kick. I was obsessed with it. And I got good at it, lol. But when you had to send the film off, it was about as risque as I thought I could get away with without the lab sending the FBI after me or something. I think its funny that now that we are a generation removed from ever CONSIDERING that there is no more LAB involved, I wonder how kids even THINK about their first digital camera. When I got my first digital back in the early 90s, I immediately started asking women to pose nude for me. They had thought about it, but would never want a lab to see the pics. It was a REAL selling point. I could shoot a ton of pics, burn a CD for em and keep my promise not to share the photos, and count on word of mouth to keep me in hot girls naked in my house. Anyway, back to my first camera............. |

Re: Photography Thread
OK I lied...actually THIS was my first camera. But my dad took it back after I didn't seem to like it much.
I guess I was 10 at the time. I took it to camp, shot some shots, but never had any desire to use my allowance to get the film developed. He took it back and used it and made a darkroom out of his bathroom every now and then and developed the shots. but I never touched that Brownie again. He gave me that Sears mamiya/sekor about 5 years later. |
