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) |

Very nice work Zach
Your panning would get much better if you used a new digital. My D200 locks on a subject and will keep it in focus. I like your timed shot. I like to do night shots, but now that I have a kid I haven't been able to. |

Your panning would get much better if you used a new digital. My D200 locks on a subject and will keep it in focus. I like your timed shot. I would not be surprised if my Canon 350D had a similar feature. I probably know about 1/2 of the stuff it can do. When I was shooting more sports, I was pretty good a panning the old fashioned way. I'm just way rusty, and don't get a lot of chances to practice the technique. QUOTE Speaking of 80mm lens... if you happen into a D200 which accepts earlier nikon manual focus lenses the bog standard manual focus 50mm lens becomes nearly an 80mm when stuck on it (due to the DX format). So pick up a late 80's 50mm f1.2 for a couple hundy and you'll be in love. The Canon have the same 1.6 form factor. I keep 35mm prime lens on hand for portraits and snap-shots - actually, that is what I use for my every day lens. 35mm becomes a 50mm lens on most of the non-pro DSLRs, and a 50mm lens is my favorite lens hands down. Fast, light, small, and cheap even with good glass. A 50mm lens (80mm with the 1.6 multiplier) is too much zoom for my taste, unless you are taking your picture from across the room. If my 50mm prime was not a maco lens, I'd probably sell it. I almost never use it. While a lot of guys like the 1.6 multiplier, I really hate it. However, getting a DSLR that does not have it is much more money then I have to spend, and my XT does all that I need it to be able to do. Zach |
