Leyez Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I know, it blows my mind that the lens can be like 6 times the cost of the camera! I just got a shitty 18-55mm lens with the camera, so I think any lens will be an upgrade. Maybe I'll start with a cheap telephoto lens and go from there.

I've got a thing for close-up shots, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Argle bargle accidentally hit F5 while typing. I'm not too into photography. I like doing it though. I know the rules n terms, law of thirds, aperture, f-stop, prime/zoom, white balance etc. You need to as most of it ties with film cameras too. My current weapon of choice is my phone camera, which is low quality but since it's always on me I get the most pictures with, and an old point-n-shoot I got 4-5 years back for college. It's rocking a massive 5 megapixels, it has knobs n dials, which I love as most don't come with stuff like that these days, all on-screen menus, and has a Leica like aesthetic that my college tutor fell in love with. I use it less these days due to having a phone that now takes competent n useable photos, and cos it's developed an issue with motion photographs. Which means even a slight wobble of the hands and it's more punishing that Operation. I'd maybe like to get a DSLR in future, funds permitting. It's something I quite enjoy doing, just not much around here at the moment worth taking pictures of. When I'm doing "Photography" i.e actually aiming for something half decent instead of regular snaps, I aim for interesting, quirky n pretty things. While I pick some nice photos out here's the images my 3 year old sister took at the annual village fete where my gran lives http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2066351/1/Phoebes%20Snaps?h=5749a0 Just dumped my old phone on her (It has a dedicated camera button on it, and a 'big' display) and let her run free with it.

Woah. I'm impressed. Coolest 3 year old ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 It's not a huge amount but here's a small selection of a few: http://www.dropbox.c...graphy?h=5b94cb I've got some images I like that have some photographic merit, buuut aren't much fancy and mostly just thought out "day out" snaps. As for phoebe, I was quite impressed to. I like the horse one. For the most part she just liked running around my grans garden n taking photos of things. On second thought I think Niomi (the 7 year old) may of taken a few. Cos that's Phoebe opening the gate I think Niomi will of taken the photos of the engines at the end. Phobe for the flowers.

Tiffany Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Canon EOS 5D Mark II and 100mm f/2.8 macro lens + 430EXII flash. Same as above, except natural light. More here. I'm a huge photography nerd, but just started taking it seriously a couple of years ago. I'm most of the way to saving for my 85mm f/1.2 L. SO EXCITE!

D-K Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) I normally focus on insects as well. "normally" refers to a point in time where I still had my camera though.. get it? "focus" DO YOU GET IT? DO YOU GET MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOKE? Edited January 1, 2011 by D-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of crazy bugs in your album. Where do you live that has such variety? Edited January 1, 2011 by TheForgetfulBrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmeyomoves! Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Those are some really nice pics, Tiffany. But I HATE bugs. That tree frog looks beautiful, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure where you live has just as much variety, you just have to look! Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
