I figured that would be good to start, I am sure once I fall further down this slope I will upgrade lenses quickly. Once everything shows up and I snap a few photos I will be sure to put some up.

I've had my T2i for about a year and a half, good camera. Do wish I would have spent a little more on the 60D, but I'm happy. Rented a 24-105mm L lens and man, that makes a HUGE difference. I few of the pics above were taken with it. Scraping together the money to buy the 24-105....can't wait!!

This place is a bad place to be if you're trying to save for a lens. Soon you'll see all that money going "up in smoke" lol

Thanks brother! Yeh I was proud of those. Took those with my old camera, Nikon D3000. Since upgraded to a Nikon D90.
I'll be selling some Holiday days next year too.

Ahh! A thread I can jump head first into!

Photography was something I always wanted to get into when I was young, but it was too expensive (mistakes on film get costly), and I'm one that learns by doing. But when digital SLRs came down to around $1000, I jumped in.

I've been shooting on and off for about 4 years now. I really need to have the passion to shoot, otherwise my shots just look like anyone else's photos. But when I'm really in the mood to shoot, it's obvious that I put feeling into each shot.

I'm terrible at picking out what's my good work and clumsy work, I'm my own worst critic, but I think these are some of my better ones.

I'd be impressed if anyone knew what this macro was:

I shoot pretty much everything and anything that interests me, and have on occasion been paid for my work.

WittyUserName · 10-03-2011, 12:39 PM

Great photos, now what is that macro of?

Bingo! It's a 12AX7 vacuum tube macro.

For those that don't know, it's a preamp tube that's about the diameter of a nickel, and about 2.5" tall.

Here is a quick images I found on google.

My shot is a macro of the internal wiring. Those flat copper bands you see welded to the copper pins are about the thickness of a hair, and the pins are about .5mm

Good guess, I didn't think they were that "messy" looking but at that magnification I can see why they appear that way.
