The camera/photography thread

Grainy night photo of the moon over the neighborhood.

 

Hello there.

I am just starting my adventure in photography. I was trying to take those pictures for the last 4 days. I have used Nikon d7100 with preflash triggered Yongnuo YN568EX speedlite.

 

Nice Greg, what lenses were you using?

 

Playing some games with the camera settings this morning.

Some B&W:







And some color games:

 

Awesome flower photos!

Lots of great shots here!

 

just realized how long its been since i posted in here....

 

Beautiful handle and saya! Who made these for you? =)

 

I did

I've used Nikon 24-70 2.8G. I thought that these lenses are broken, but it is very easy to blame gear instead of own skills. I wish to have second speedlite and two white umbrellas. I could take quite a nice pictures with that setup.

 

Some awesome photography right there!

 

Maybe a cheap lightbox could serve you as well as umbrellas… and you wouldn't need that many speedlites, just some common lamps.

 

some very nice shots Jon

 

I have recenlty found that Google is making the full NIK collection Free (which they sold until recenlty for $126.oo) Free is a killer deal. I've started using it with Lightroom as a host program and it seems to be very sophisticated. My reading indicates that it is considered a heavy hitter with lots of pros using a couple of the plug ins. Silver Efex Pro is said by some to be the best color to black and white editor out there.

And to top it off, Tim Grey is offering a 4 lesson video tutorial on NIK for free.

Just got a 35mm prime lens and playing around with it. JPEGs straight out of the camera, no special lighting. It should do nicely if I start using RAW and do a little editing.

 

which 35mm?

 

Nice bokeh on the cat shot

 

Sony e-mount, 35mm f1.8.

Thanks! I'm going to like this lens, I think.

 

Really nice pics everyone:like
