Well on another forum i frequent a member brought a good thread about taking pictures and asking how and what cameras to use. And examples of pictures taken by fellow members and the camera they used.
So here's my submission: Following pictures were taken with my Konica Minolta Dimage X60 5MP + 12" Mini Tripod. (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/x60.html) ***Tips: Play w/ angles, try taking a picture from ground level (on the floor), use Photoshop only to adjust lighting (contrast/brightness), try not to use flash when in dark situations try using artificial lighting, get a tripod (no matter what size) steadiness counts, to get those light streaks at night dont use flash and have a steady shot, good practice is taking pictures of inanimate objects, that's all ive got in my photo snapping arsenal*** (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3772-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3771-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3780.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3768.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3767.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/Azusadownhill2-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3680.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/AzusaDrift.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/JPnDLO914.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/HachiModel.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/Targa.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/IMG_3601-2.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0022.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/TeamNarpSM.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0404-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0045.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0008.jpg) |

Again, very nice work.
It is true that shooting hundreds of pics does help to get that one amazing picture, but you need to learn in camera cropping and composition. Some of the shots I have to take you only get one chance, and you have to get that shot. It's a little more tricky working with large format cameras. You can learn a lot from shooting with medium or large format cameras, but if you really want to learn go to your local used camera store and buy a Pentax K1000. Learn all the functions of the camera. Then get your digital camera and start taking 100s of pictures or random stuff until you pictures of regular shit looks awsome without any photoshop. Oh, when you take pictures to sell stuff... the pics should be terrible as to show that you didn't doctor anything. I am always hesitant to buy piture perfect stuff from people online as I know how easy it is to make something look perfect that is not. |

Good info from Vacca as well. Equipment doesn't matter so much, it's the learning process and knowledge that matters. I have gotten some fantastic images from the ol' manual-everything 35mm and some attentive darkroom work. Luckily now I have some medium and large format cameras to play with too. I think digital has really shunned the artistic side of photography. It is great for the point and shooters, and can provide great results with a little know how. Manual mode! Learning the functions of the camera is very important. |
