Last stuff from the shots I took... This T1i is a nice camera... the 70-300mm is brilliant! They say the Tamron SP70-300 is sharper but this lens really does a good job

[foss]

really nice shots MISHI,

after carnival and I save some funds hoping to invest in something...

[hoverauto]

Anyone uses the Nikon D3000? I looking to venture into DSLR territory. Ah scared though...lol. So far my little point and click Canon SX210 IS has served me well.

However I can see loads of potential for me and a DSLR. Hell my father-in-law has one and he doesnt make use of it at all, as far as i can tell....such a waste.

Buy the D3100 if you are going Nikon. The canon guys will advise you on what is the best canon out there. The 18-55mm VR lens is excellent so you can buy the kit without any upgrade remorse for a while. The only other lens you will really need is a 35mm f/1.8DX for low light and DOF effects. If you need telephoto (Which you may not right away), The 55-200 is very cheap, really sharp but not the best build quality and slow autofocus. I suggest you skip over 200m and go straight to a 300mm zoom if you can afford it.

As for me, i want to upgrade my ancient D40 soon to a D7000.

Thanks for all the advice man, much appreciated! I will definitely check out the D3100. Still learning about the different type of lenses. The 18-55mm will be good for shooting small subjects like insects right? I have recently re-discovered the world of the small.

Very cool photo. Looking to do the same kinda thing.

What he said^^. The D3100 seems best suited for beginners who are new to the DSLR world and want something easy to shoot with, easy user interface, and serves as a great intro camera. But be warned, you'll soon want to upgrade! (try your best to resist the upgrade bug and work on your skills instead - it can get expensive!)

The only other lens you will really need is a 35mm f/1.8DX for low light and DOF effects. If you need telephoto (Which you may not right away), The 55-200 is very cheap, really sharp but not the best build quality and slow autofocus. I suggest you skip over 200m and go straight to a 300mm zoom if you can afford it.

The Nikon 55-200mm zoom with VR is a very good lens for someone now starting to learn how to actually use a telephoto lens for something other than just zooming on far away stuff. It's sharp, the range is good, and the VR will save you from most blurry shots. 300mm is better if you want to do some birding or want to bring far-away objects closer (i've had that feeling with my cheap-o sigma 70-210 lens) like airplanes, cars on a track, etc. If you want to get into more serious work, esp. with portraits and on-location shoots, you can always upgrade to a more "Pro" lens like the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 or F/4 L-series lenses, or the Nikon equivalents. Or you could go the slightly cheaper route and buy a set of prime lenses like the 50mm f/1.8 or the 35mm f/1.8 like crossdrilled suggested

[ruffneck_12]

not pro photographer quality, phone pics,,,, took them to try photostitching

















stitched



I used a program in Ubuntu called Huggins, really cool once you learn how to use it

but Microsoft ICE works almost instantly and it's free


I want to do a huge panoramic view from Mt St Benedict one ah dese days

like http://www.70-billion-pixels-budapest.com/index_en.html
a lot smaller doh

Here are a couple from my trip to Panama:





Also got a question for you guys: my digital camera allows me to have shutter priority, ie set any shutter speed I want and the camera will automatically set the aperture. I was trying to take pics of the rain today, trying to capture the drops mid air, so I was using a very fast shutter speed but the pics were coming out very dark. I know that faster shutter speeds means less light coming in, but my question is, if the less light is a big factor...how to people take nice shots of fast moving objects? Is it that they have cameras with better image sensors? Does my little canon not have a large enough sensor for those types of shots?

Btw, doh ring meh out nah....I'm still learning.

^^^First off... use a higher iso, or put your iso to auto. Guaranteed perfect exposure. If you want to shoot at lower iso to reduce noise, you can use flash to freeze motion. Do not worry about your shutter speed being 1/200 seconds. The flash exposure lasts in the range of 1/1000 of a second, freezing your subject.

You real exploring the world man!!!

too high an ISO will result in a grainy photo, especially if the camera sensor cannot handle high ISOs

If you cannot use a flash to take the photo, you will need to get a "fast" lens i.e one with a low aperture like f/2.8 or f/1.8 or lower. The lower the number the wider the aperture is and so lets in more light. You can shoot at 1/200 shutter at twilight with a f/1.8 lens without using a flash

Keep in mind that the lower aperture number, the shallower your depth of field will be.

Thanks for all the advice, I will try the higher ISO setting and see if that works. There is no swapping of lens with this camera unfortunately. Wow, this photography thing is very very interesting. (*shaking my head, another thing for me to obsess with, lol) I'll try to hold on a while with the camera I have and resist buying something better, however....I'm very tempted. But I guess i can use the one I have to learn the basics first. Then I'll be unstoppable!

Still messing around nature, in my mind i can see the picture, but getting it on cam seems to be eluding me

i wish you guys would post the camera model , lens , settings etc for all the pics you post ...it would certainly help the noobs like me pick up tricks faster
