DSLR and Digital Photography Club

[Wile E]

Figured we could use a thread to show off our cameras, photos, and photography stories.

I use a Digital Rebel XTi. So far, I only have the kit lens.

No pics for me to post as of yet, as I need to dig them up out of the archives first. I'll edit this post to add some later.

[RevengE]

Nice camera Wile, I am thinking about getting a Nikon D40 or something among those lines.

[Wile E]

D40X would be nicer if you could afford it.

[RevengE]

What Is the difference? Lens?

[Wile E]

6.1 MP vs 10.2 MP

[RevengE]

I see. I'm learning photoshop right now, I was looking for a camera for taking photos of nature,my finace,cars you know pretty much everything.

[Triprift]

Sweet I myself have a Nikon d40 DSLR wich is 6.1 mp does a great job. Comes with a 18-55mm lens and i have a 52mm hoya filter for it as well along with a lowepro bag.

http://users.on.net/~swenny/IMG_0712.jpg

and heres a few images taken with it.

[RevengE]

So I'm assuming you like yours triprift?

[Triprift]

Yes most definitly very easy to use and with advanced features you can ease into using does a great job.

[LittleLizard]

nice camera

[Triprift]

Thanks mate produces really good pics for the 6.1 mp.

[wtf8269]

I use a D70 that I got as a hand-me-down graduation present from my dad. I've got the kit lens for it as well as a 70-300. I'd like to get a macro lens eventually, as I like shooting macro and HDR mostly. Still working on doing really well with HDR. Here's a good portion of the pics I've taken (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=45751&id=745025574&l=6bb437e4f1). The winter/snow pics are from when I had just started.

[Castiel]

I'm planning on getting the Canon Mark5 DII soon.

[hat]

Do the pics HAVE to be taken with a DSLR? All I have is a cheap, second-rate HP camera that cost $30 when my dad bought it from my uncle.

Nope, it's the DSLR and Digital Photography Club. I just thought it sounded better than the Digital Photography Club. lol.

You have to put them on an image host, then use the IMG tags with the image's url. I use techpowerup.org

[Bandit]

Bear with me just trying to figure this out :) Well that sucks.

[Triprift]

Like wile e said host ur pics get the url then click insert image (next to blue one) delete http then paste ur url to the pic should work. :D

[Bandit]

I'll be able to put my camera to work here shortly. I on two weeks vacation then I got to drive to California for work. Plan on taking a lot of pics. Ohio is where home is. I have to drive to get my truck and tools down there then will be flying back and forth. Hopefully I'll have time to see a lot of sites.

[T3hPwn3r3r]

Going to California in November.

Maybe Germany at the end of this summer

Spain in the spring, if I can get a good GPA/accepted into study abroad.

Will take lots of pictures with my cheap Casio!

[Bandit]

Nice :D sounds like a lot of fun. Mine will be a lot of work. Damit

[T3hPwn3r3r]

Mine's for the PRSA conference, so it's kinda work related! All in all there will be good times to be had though.

[wiak]

i use a Nikon D40x 10.2MP with
Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX
Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 AF-S VR DX

Nice one mate you wont regret it. My advice pick up a lens cleaning brush as they can get dirty quickly and get some decent sized sd card 2 gig one would be able to hold plenty of shots.

[T3hPwn3r3r]

I've decided to snag an Olympus E-520.

It's got a decent stock lense and is easy on the wallet too! Will have LOADS of pictures for you all soon.

Also found a 1700$ film SLR made by Konica Minolta in my basement :D

[Lillebror]

Hey all!

I got a canon 450d - some shots comming later ;)

I was wondering.. Does anyone know how to make it take a picture with a pre-defined timer? like, i want it to take a picture every 5 min of a small tree i got. But is it possible or do i have to go make some ghetto mod for it to work?

[RevengE]

Will do.

[T3hPwn3r3r]

Any opinions on E-520?

[cdawall]

[strick94u]

Hey ppl I got on here ! anyway I have been shooting with my trusty D100 for years And this year I got a D80 which is decent and does all I requier and than some plus all my old nikon lens still fit, it's not near as heavy duty or heavy but I am a wedding/portrait photographer so dont need anything more.
I shoot mainly in auto focus with manule speed/apture useing a sunpac 622 pro flash. Both bodys have the battery packs and 2 batterys back in flim days we worried about going over 120 pictures now with an 8 gig card in jpeg mode 300 you still have 999 left to go sdhc the D100 is cf only so only 500 or so. Still have some nice old 35mm and medium format stuff and still use it.

[Steevo]

Anyone have a opinion of this camera http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830120355 and a few other lenses and filters?


Anything better for around the $1500 mark for a full setup, tele-pana, filters, high MP....


I don't care for the video part so muc, it is nice to have, but I also own a HG20 high def camcorder, and the lenses from this woudl fit as a added bonus.

[Steevo]

Bought the Rebel T1i just now, had it for $50 off, and got a 16Gb SDHD card, the extra handle, and extra battery.

[MT Alex]

I have the Canon Rebel 300D. I jumped on the digital bandwagon early, so it is one of the first generations of the digital Rebel (remember the stupid Aggisi adds), I think is only 6.8 Mp, but that has never bothered me, the standard image size is 17" x 11.3". I have 3 lenses and a Sigma 10mm x 20mm wide angle is next on my list.

Took this one a month ago, it is a little out of focus, but no tripod w/ my 300mm in low light, so it's not to bad.

Damn mosquitoes!

I ordered a Sony T900 compact. Should come on Monday. It looks like a very cool camera. The lens arrangement is unique and avoids any problems with pop out lenses. I'm looking forward to testing it out.

[MT Alex]

My wife took this one with our Canon while on a short hike.
http://img.techpowerup.org/091002/IMG_3520.jpg
Yah, she's pretty cool.

MM, that photoshopped pic is outstanding. Maybe you could do something like that with a pic of my son? Unless it took hours and hours, was wondering if it was some simple filtering. Hard to tell with such a small shot. I have Photoshop CS, but use it mostly to adjust levels and reduce JPEG weight for posting on the web.

[momentomoir]

it was a filter lighting adjustments and a few other things
i love that picture the girl is my cousin the white boy is my lil uncle and the other boy is my cousin

i'll get my other pics up later i am very impressed with the quality of my 6 megapixels
but i believe no matter how good or crappy the camera is it, its the photographer that makes the picture good lol

to bad i dont have the camera anymore it met dr pepper in my purse =(

Can't upload my pics as they are too big. 7MB per pic. Gort alot of them as I just got back from camping/fishing/sightseeing.

Lost alot of image detail doing the conversion on this, but made up a bit on sharpening the image with the software.

http://img.techpowerup.org/091009/IMG_0407a.jpg

Me, and two of four fish. The other fish didn't get pictured, but did get frozen. Two rainbows while troling, 19" or so, and two mackinaw (lake trout) 23/25" and lost one as the other guy couldn't get the net to me. :mad: And then I fell in the lake as I was trying to help him get his little 38" 25Lb mackinaw out, was a whopping 18 deg F outside too, so I had to quit as I coudn't feel my legs anymore from the cold/wet.

[Steevo]

Nice shots. Did you see my post about resizing?

Yeah. The software provided does a really good job of resizing with the image quality intact, and I can edit it easily. But I will try paint.net and see what it looks like from both.

I wanted to shoot some RAW images but forgot. :mad:, I will try some and import them. jpg just didn't do justification to the true depth of some of the pics.


next up i want a couple better lenses, first the telephoto.:cool:

[KieX]

I don't have my camera in this country, left it in my apartment in Spain when I last went there. The full kit I (don't) have (at the moment) is:

- Nikon D80
- Nikkor AF-S 16-85mm f/3-5-5.6G ED VR DX
- Nikkor AF-S 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR
- Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM
- Kenko DG Nikon AF Extension Tubes Set (36mm, 20mm, 12mm)
- Nikon SB-60 Flashgun
- 30cm flexible flashgun hotshoe extender
- Manfrotto 785B, Velbon CX540 Tripods
- Bunch of other stuff like filters, infrared remote...

Needless to say I'm missing these quite a lot. Used to work in a camera shop so got all these at almost trade value.

All I have at the moment is a crappy 3.2MP camera phone wihtout flash. And all my best pics are on the laptop I also left in Spain. I never thought I was gonna stay in UK this long so it's a right old PITA now.

Before it broke, I was using a Canon S2IS. I absolutely loved that camera. I'm in the market for something newer and nicer. Either from Canon or Nikon.

Dannibus do you live on Whidbey Island or were you just visiting?

Oh, and I'll join...by proxy...when my wife got back from Kuwait I bought her a Canon t1i with kit lens and a little 55-250 f4-5.6 IS lens for a little zoom magic. She's added a 50 f/1.8 II to the mix for some macro loving. I'll have to poke around here and see if I've got anything worthy...

Paint.NET is pretty bare bones. I don't do photography but I used to do graphic design, such as forum signatures. I use GIMP, it's the best free software out there without a doubt, except for a PS crack.

[Wile E]

Last I tried, GIMP did not resize as nicely.

Yeah probably not. It's far better for editing though.

[btarunr]

http://img.techpowerup.org/100819/bta9329.png

That temple was built by two notorious highway robbers in repentence for robbing piligrims heading to another, much bigger temple. Sadly, nobody goes to that temple because they consider it a product of sin and crime. But for its architecture, the Archeological Survey adopted it as a protected monument.

[Reventon]

I don't care if it that's sin, it's amazing. Seriously look at all of the pillars and the detail on the exterior.

I got a new Sigma 10-20mm wide angle in the mail today. It's going to make a huge difference. I took a couple of quick shots before dinner, just to compare it to my standard 18-55. They aren't very good, but are a good demonstration.

Both shots were centered on the telephone pole.

hmm shot is kind of blurry. I hope you were just shaking with excitement and your new lens isn't faulty.

[MT Alex]

I've been wondering the same thing. I'll have to try it out some more.

[Polaris573]

try stopping it down a bit. Did you shoot that shot with the aperture wide open?

[de.das.dude]

believe it or not. we dont have a camera. not even a cell phone one.

[MT Alex]

Sure did. f/4.5

I'd also like a mega wide angle lens to play around with. Might look around for one in a bit.

[Polaris573]

Nice. That one seems a lot sharper.

[MT Alex]

Nice shot, Joe.

As far as my new wide angle is concerned, it's a lemon and I'm sending it back for replacement. Really disappointing, since I went to a shop with my uncle (in-law) and shot with all the lenses and the Sigma looked much better than even the $800 Nikon. Should have bought locally instead of online:mad:

[Steevo]

I just bought a nifty fifty for the $100 it cost me. I am hoping that with a fixed zoom will give me some really awesome night shots. Plus a three pack of filters for it, i tried the circular polarized and it actually isn't truly circularly polarized, but more of a inverted horseshoe. It does however remove alot of glare and unless you are shooting something odd (like a TV you won't see the polarization lines.

I like those. I can never get a decent photo from a aquarium through glass and scratches.

A think decent polarizing filter and a bit of Photoshop would correct most of that stuff.

[Steevo]

Those are RAW converts. Get a set of stackable filters for each size of lens you have. I use a UV then my adjustable polarizing filter on top, just turn until the lights and people disappear.


I used my nifty fifty and those two filters, and even with the low light and the combination filters the extra f stops made all the world of difference, I want a 1.2 with stabilization now, and a full telephoto.

Never thought about bringing in my polarizer into a aquarium. With polarizers you usually lose 2 stops of light. And with aquariums usually being pretty dark you usually have to crank up the ISO on top of that. But will have to give it a try next time im around one at Sea World. But I would never put my polarizer on top of my UV filter. Dont you get vignetting at the corners of your pictures like I have when I tried it.

I don't get too much vignette with both filters stacked even at the wide angle spectrum. If you're shooting full frame then yes it probably becomes a problem.

Got my dSLR yesterday and took this within a few hours. Made some adjustments post, but think I could have dialed it in better while shooting.

http://img.techpowerup.org/110322/IMG_0038.jpg

I was looking at your exif info. Just some advice. You were using ISO 3200. Try lowering that ISO if possible for future shots. And it seems the camera focused in on the rear of the dog instead of the face. You were using F4 maybe play with your camera and try F10 for a shot like that so more is in focus. With a DSRL its much easier to get bokeh and whatever is not directly in focus tends to go blury much easier in the background. With compact cameras and there small senors the bokeh effect is much harder to achieve so this shot is easier in very good light for a small compact.

I especially like the first one and think I see what you did there. There are enough light sources and reflective surfaces that you could keep a lot of the detail from going black without using any HDR techniques.

I finally decided to learn how to use the manual setting on my T1i. It's pretty cool. Once you set the aperture (ISO is forced to 400), as you move the shutter speed, it eventually goes into minutes and seconds of exposure required for the image. I'm sure this is the sort of feature that's been around forever and I'm just finding out about it, but i think that is incredibly cool.

Cool thanks. These were all taken as soon as it got the camera. Yeah I posted over in the TPU Darkroom as well hoping to find some conversation. If you want to take low level light/night pictures, get a tripod, shutter release switch, open the aperture all the way and play around with the shutter speed that gives you the best result. You can get some really cool effects.
