I used a circular polarizing filter in the above shot, IMO with some amazing results.

Did I mention that I love this time of year?

Brad will hook you up. He doesn't buy or sell junk.

I bought a t4i recently. Been eyeing it for a very long time. Pretty happy so far.

My first DSLR was a T2i, the T4i is a very nice camera, congrats.

The wife uses the XTi and I have a T1i
Love the results we get with both

Been looking around, Thinking the canon 50mm f/2.8 macro would be a good place to start for me, maybe get the extension tube along with that since the lense is pretty cheap.

OLS · 10-31-2013, 05:51 PM

I'll say one thing about it Ron, I rotate those cameras and take a lot of pictures with those ole hunks of junk.

I tried to stay true to the idea that I can do anything with any one of em if I play by the rules. Low light
is the only time I ever feel a little trapped by the body I take somewhere, but I also have the lenses now
to get me out of trouble. My brain and my impatience are the only things that hold me back.

Unedited as I still need to learn all that.

PASS!!! For $3,000 I can pick up a nice D700 and still have enough left over for a couple of very nice lenses.

Thanks! The mystery car was (I'm sure you knew already):

IMO not too much editing needed. I use Photoshop Elements, which is kinda like a "Photoshop Light" without all of the bells and whistles of Photoshop CS. Maybe a little tweaking with contrast and levels to bring the colors out a little more. IMHO, the light post is a bit distracting, as is the stop sign. Just my opinion, of course.

Desoto Fireflite. Yeah, even a stodgy company like Desoto made some pretty nice looking cars in the '50's:

Steve · 11-05-2013, 09:52 AM

I love that car! When I was a kid of around 10 or 11, a good friend of my parents, who had worked in the NY garment business and been a hand model in her youth, had one under a cover in her garage. The story was that every year she got herself a new, pink caddie. She was an 80 year old sport model for sure!

Lightroom is a really good tool, it can be a challenge at first, but offers enough options for both beginners and more advanced users. It handles RAW files very well and I really like the organization options it offers.

I got two emails, one from B&H and one from Ado about this, and I have to tell you, I have resisted
EVERYTHING NEW that Nikon has ever produced. THIS......this might be another kettle o fish. I went
to the link and looked over it in DEPTH to see if it was something I wanted, check that, I WANT IT.
Something I should spend money on.....another matter. But it specs out to me as the perfect camera
for me. Before I buy ANOTHER used D700, I will get this one. I really like the 'low' Megapixel count on
the full size sensor. But in black and silver, HELLS NO.

Devanmc · 11-06-2013, 03:24 PM

Why have 2 of the same camera? You mentioned buying another d700.

Devanmc · 11-06-2013, 06:41 PM

This turned out well without a macro lens or macro flash
