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 Anyway, its a professional level camera that is only slightly outdated now, but still an AWESOME rig for the money.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) |

Another good tip for a super nice camera would be the Nikon D2H . Only 4.1 Megapixel but thats great for most amatuer shooters. Before digital, you used to be able to spend $500-$1000 to get a very nice Nikon (or other) SLR that would last you a lifetime. Now you spend $3000 for a professional DLSR and it's considered outdated in a couple of years. Useful life of a good camera has gone from 30 years down to 5 years.
