Michele Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Some of my favorite pictures I've taken. I had just started out with a DSLR around the time HHN started this year, so I sadly wasn't the best then. But I'm looking forward to next year. I got most of my good shots in RHPS, probably because I practiced most there. Please share your favorites as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 All I can say is, Wow!!! Those are really amazing photos you got there! I am really not much a professional photographer, I'm just a photographer who happens to get lucky shots that turn out to be good. But really, those shots are amazing!

Drewfrickitydo Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I agree, you are getting really freaking good at taking pictures!!! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thank you! I just started using a DSLR during HHN last year, but since I haven't had a job since, oh, September, I've had plenty of time to practice. Practice definitely helps. I got Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2 for Christmas, and they have really helped the pictures look better after processing. I'm still getting all my network set up, but I'll share some more pictures later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you take pictures of the snow, when/if it snows there. I'm sure you can get some pretty landscape shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M. Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Your DSLR money is going to diapers now mark. No No. I have the excuse of - I need a better camera to take baby pictures and HHN. To keep it on topic, either the Canon 50D or the Nikon D90. Debates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewfrickitydo Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 FFS we have to stay on topic here. im in trouble. And that is a good excuse mark! A perfect one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 As soon I have the money, I'm going to buy a new camera. I'm undecided as to which one I'll get so far. The biggest factor to me is noise reduction at higher ISOs because most of the shots I take are in low light, and I try to avoid using a flash. The Nikon D3 is the top camera for what I'm looking for, but with accessories and such, that would be around $6000! I'm still trying to find a middle ground. Thoughts?

Drewfrickitydo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Do you order off ebay , or retail, my friend has been getting some really good deals one bay for cameras. And when they showed up in perfect condition. What would you be doing with your old camera !?*ponder!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at the Canon 50D or the Nikon D90 still. Then I'll add accessories to that, it is all about the lens though.. the better the glass the better shot you will get. This is where I go for all my Digital Camera reviews: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/cameraList.php. Just click on the boxed "R" and it gives you a pretty detailed review. They haven't reviewed the 50D yet, but promise it by the end of January. All the top Nikon's have been reviewed though. They even have decent forums if you need to ask any advice.

Michele Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thank you! I am in the Midwest currently and need to get out and get some shots of the snow. But, I hate being cold. I might get some over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I got back from LA/Anaheim on Saturday. I have the quick and dirty processing done on most of my pictures so far - Universal - Disney - LA - I'm going to really work with the RAW images and try to get the shots as nice as I can. I rented a very nice lens for my trip. It gave me a lot of great shots and weighs probably two pounds more than my normal lens. Here's my photobucket with all the pictures I have so far with just very minimal editing - http://s606.photobucket.com/albums/tt146/m...ifornia%202009/ All of the pictures are in subalbums, and there are A LOT.

Hush Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Michele, What fantastic pictures! Looking through your sub albums was such fun too, it looks like you had an amazing time! I love the picture of Bela Lugosi's star...that's great! And I can't believe the Fred Segal store, it's like it's camoflagued...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks. I love Fred Segal, and I wanted to stop and look, but I was in one of the open air bus tours so I didn't actually get to shop anywhere. That might be a good thing since I'm unemployed, though. It seems like more and more people are going with Nikons. I think you'll like D90. My aunt has that one, and she think it does well. I decided to open back up my ebay store just long enough to save up the money to buy the D3. I hate ebay with a passion, but I'll deal with it to get the camera. I'm just hoping I get enough by the start of HHN. Then I'll probably have to keep it open to buy the lens. LOL! I also plan to buy my camera on ebay with one of the 25% off coupons that I get. If you have any ebay account that is fairly active, you might keep an eye out. If you buy from someone with a great feedback record, you can get an awesome deal.

I was comparing cameras earlier with all the ones talked about between here and the vault (DX3, D90, 5DMKII, 40D 50D). I saw that Suike suggested the Canon 5DMKII to you.. so I went to DXOMark and did some research. Have you considered the Nikon D700? Great reviews and REAL close to the D3, with a little better Low-Light ISO setting and about 2K less. HERE is a link to the comparison between the D3, D700 and 5DMKII.. as you can see the D700 is right there with the D3, and well.. Canon is a little behind, also the D700 being the cheaper of the 3. Here is a review of the D700. The D3 and 5DMKII don't have a review. http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/nikon/d700-review/ Just wanted to throw this out there for you. Both are out of my price range, so I'll stick to the D90 for my first SLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Nice! Are you getting the camera before HHN? I would recommend the 35 mm 1.8. It's easier to get closer than further away! My camera fund is completely neglected. I might have a new camera....in 40 years. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamstalker Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Here are some of the pictures i took from this past week in orlando, I need some more practice but all in all they came out pretty well.
