After reading/answering a thread in the off-topic forum I could see that we have a lot of Photographers here. I figured I would start a thread for people to talk a lil about their equipment, their favorite shots, etc, etc.
Maybe one day this will grow into its own forum section, but we'll see how it goes for now.
Personally I've been shooting for almost 10 years, professionally for 6. I'm a Canon guy and love my 50d, have a few different pieces of glass but saving up now for the 16-35L (drool)
It's a flash. I have two that I use for shots like this. I mount my ancient Quantaray on the hot-shoe on the camera, set it to 1/16th strength, and point it to the ceiling. Then I put my Vivitar 383 behind the bottles/whatever. The Vivitar has a light sensor that will fire the flash whenever it picks up another flash. It's really nice because when you're working indoors you don't really need triggers, but it doesn't work very well outdoors if it's bright.
O definitely go for it. The 383 is worth every penny, I even want one or two more myself. It eats batteries for me pretty quick though, so if you don't already have them maybe pick up some rechargeables.
Bought a used Tamron 2x TC on ebay for $100 shipped and got it today. This thing is MINT! No wear marks or scratches anywhere! They seel new @ Adorama & B&H Photo for $175.
Here's some comparison shots taken from my back yard of a power pole in front of my house using my Tamron 18-270mm lens. Approx 50 yards away.
@270mm
@270mm with 2X TC, approx 540mm
I can't wait to go play other places to bring shots in closer :naughty:
got my own SLR the other day, always played around with my mothers cameras. And I have recently had the urge to get back into taking photo's...
Anyway, saw this little guy whilst I was about to walk into my girlfriends appartment, I dropped all my bags, whipped the camera out, and layed down with the lense in his face pretty much!
RAW - straight from the camera:
and I touched it up and cropt it:
night shots are hard to get, and I hope to only get better :thumbup:
You should be able to download the original size shot from there, if not then let me know!
