Not my best work, but its what i was allowed to post online. I also have to have a link to the site if i do post anything. I got in a bit of trouble for not doing that once..haha .Chris That's some good photojournalism though! I'm unfortunately working with an old camera (saving right now for the 5d..should be in the next few months.) |
A grad shoot recently, I wanted to edit out the stray hairs, but she insisted on them.

I actually bought my bike so it could assist me in exploring the city so I can shoot pictures.

I shoot with a Nikon D90, but I just got my bike this week, so I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.
Here's some of my other work though: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5202/...9b104514_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4151/...42b97709_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/...25622474_z.jpg And when I'm not shooting cars.. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/...710d1347_z.jpg more of my work on flickr: http://flickr.com/__max |

Nick, do you go to State?

As no one answered my newb-ass question about a good starter camera, google search led me to the nikon D3100, i'm wathcing a youtube review of one, but does anyone have any imput on this?
|
i would stay away from the 3100..i tried it and hated it. If you're looking at Nikon I'd say d90, d5000, or wait for the d5100 coming out soon

The best camera is the one you have with you. The smaller, the better. Disclaimer: I'm a former professional photojournalist and sports photographer. I've used everything from pocket cameras to 400mm f2.8 and lots in-between. My favorite photos are the ones that were taken with small basic cameras. |
Gilmatic, great shot, what type of lens are you using here ?

If you have an iPhone, that has a great camera in it. I think an SLR is probably the worst camera to start with. They are expensive and bulky. They get left home a lot.

My mindset is kind of set on buying one, but blah. I don't know yet. I always thought of entry-level DSLR's as the way to go if you wanted to learn more. |

How do I know when I'm ready for a DSLR (sounds like I'm totally jumping the gun, lol)?? The only reason why I wanted to upgrade is because I want to learn how to shoot nicer photos, and I figure if I'm willing to learn to use a lot of the features that a point-and-shoot camera doesn't have, I thought it would be nice to finally invest in a DSLR.

To paraphrase Helmut Newton, [Newton points to his camera] "This? It's automatic." [points to his head] "The photo is made in here." You have to imagine the photo in your head then use whatever camera you have to make it happen. There are MILLIONS of hacks with $10K worth of camera gear, lights, computers, and software that couldn't shoot their way out of a wet paper bag. A DSLR with a full kit of lenses won't make you a good photographer. Understanding light and composition will. Many of the great photos of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, were taken with cameras FAR less sophisticated than the $100 point and shoots at every Target and Walmart. Also, don't get caught up in megapixels. That's a red herring. I've had magazine covers with images that were shot with a 2.7MP camera. The best camera to learn with is the cheapest one with a wide lens that can go full manual so you can control the light and depth of field. Something like a Canon G12. |

Also...
Don't mistake depth of field or monochrome (black and white) for a good photo. They are to photography what power chords are to music. |
take it you're not a hüsker du fan then :D
