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) |

manual focus isn't better for most. I bought a KATZEYE focus screen for my camera to assist with that. Its part of my process and I cant get away from it without feeling out of touch.
Another good tip for a super nice camera would be the Nikon D2H . Only 4.1 Megapixel but thats great for most amatuer shooters. Dont think it wont print nice large prints as it will 12x16 no problem. It will capture a nicer image than my D200 alot of people think, CMOS I think?? Anyway, its a professional level camera that is only slightly outdated now, but still an AWESOME rig for the money. I have had to resist buying one myself. (fix car, dont need camera) |

I have had to resist buying one myself. (fix car, dont need camera) I don't think I'd be happy with just 4 MP at this point. 10 gives you such terrific cropping and printing power. It's also good to have those extra pixels when doing certain image sharpening techniques. I've had perverted thoughts of selling the 914 for the new Nikon D3: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond3/ It's 12 MP if you use the good lenses and just 5 MP if you use DX lenses. I can't justify making the leap as I don't feel I've hit any real limits with the D200 yet. I think my only complaint is with the amount of noise you get in photos when using higher ISO settings. The D3 doesn't have that problem... One can dream a little, right? |
