Grime Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Any scareactors looking for pics this year drop me a PM and we can arrange a night where I'll shoot you in your street for free ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Most recent update: Lots of cleanup on dead links, some more recent photo updates.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome! I decided to make a thread for my own photography. I'll post updates here similar to my wordpress blog whenever I go to an event and take pictures I'll start this off with just some of the photos I've taken over the last year or so. Feel free to critique anything you'd like, I'm always open to criticism. I'm also open to any questions you may have! Q: Why photography?A: Honestly, I just wanted something to do when I go to events and conventions. Too many times have I been sitting spectating an event and though "man, I'd love to take some cool pictures of this." Basically, it gives me something to do when I go out. And I love sharing my photos with people. Q: What kind of equipment do you have?A: I shoot a Nikon D7000 camera. I have several lenses. I primarily use my 17-50mm f/2.8 as my walk around lens. I have this on my camera 75% of the time because of its wide aperture and 17-50mm zoom range. It works for everything except telephoto. My 2nd most used lens is my 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6. This is my big lens for shooting wildlife and sporting events where the subjects are far away. My other two lenses are my 35mm f/1.8 prime for extremely low-light situations (like HHN) and my 55-200mm f/4-5.6 which has been pretty much taken over by my 70-300. I'll probably sell it soon. I also used an SB-600 external flash with a Gary Fong Lightsphere collapsible diffuser. I have a Manfrotto tripod as well but I don't even remember what model. I use two straps. One is a Crumpler Industry Disgrace for when I'm using my flash. The other is a Black Rapids R-strap that I highly recommend if you're not using an external flash. Edit: Added a 50mm f/1.4 that will be my primary HHN lens alongside the 35mm f/1.8. Also added a 60mm macro lens. Q: Nikon or Canon?A: Doesn't matter. Both companies offer nearly identical bodies and lenses in nearly identical price ranges. Nobody will be able to tell what brand body or lens you used by looking at your photo. I went with Nikon only because the D7000 was the best camera available at the time in its price range. If Canon had a better camera in the price range, I would have picked Canon. It does not matter at all, do not let people tell you otherwise. Pick what's comfortable in your hands. Hell, I love Pentax bodies too. My friend shoots one professionally and his images are PHENOMENAL. Photos_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ More to come!

Grime Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Thanks man You know I took some last year, but there just weren't that many great opportunities as compared to previous years. But back then I had also had my camera for just over a few months. I've done a lot of shooting between then and now so hopefully I get some better results. And of course, hopefully we get some better scarezones. I'm trying to get my hands on an 85mm f/1.8 before September as well for portraits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grime Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Pics from today are up. Went to the paintball field. Shooting through a mask is difficult. The rest can be found on my flickr link in my sig. *edited dead links* Edited July 14, 2015 by Grime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsik_22 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 All of them are AMAZING! Especially love the Hogwarts castle one, looks better than what you find at the souvenir shops on post cards at UNI. Keep it up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Scareapy Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Those are some amazing photographs, specially the Harry Potter ones. I see that you have a Manfrotto tripod, how do you like using it? I am thinking about buying a Manfrotto 055XPROB along with a 322RC2 head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used too many tripods in the past, but I definitely like it. It's lightweight and very sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thehappymason Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I bow to you my Lord, your potter pics are phenomenal as are the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnylvr Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Wow, Grime, your pics are simply stunning. The HP pics are absolutely breathtaking! Uni should hire you for PR. I love the seal, too.. so adorable! I cannot WAIT to see what you do for HHN. When do you go? Hell, I'd follow you around. If you see a middle-aged woman with her face painted (with 2 friends in the same condition), and you think they are stalking you.. we are.
