I got a battery pack on my 10D. It gives me longer battery life and vertical shutter button. Also, it shows I´m serious about my photographer and not just some rich bitch that can afford to buy a DSLR

3/7/2006 2:51:49 PM

I like a bigger camera because I have big hands and it is easier to function and operate. The 350D feels kinda small in my hands, plus a bigger camera I find is easier to keep steady. Plus, when you get some long glass on there it won't seem AS awkward if your camera is a bit bigger and heavier.

^^hahahaha
thats basically exactly how i feel about my battery pack

i love vertical shots
AND
looking more core than others



[Edited on March 7, 2006 at 3:24 PM. Reason : ^yeah, the 350 is kinda small]

3/7/2006 3:18:55 PM

i just called every circuit city in the area and warned them that a guy named Ronny is going to break a canon xt intentionally and try to cash in on the accident protection

3/7/2006 3:19:11 PM

hahaha, whatever woodfoot, you still look like a n00b with that lens

3/7/2006 4:01:22 PM

I work at Circuit City, dipshit. I asked my manager if there was any way I could exchange the camera I have now towards a better one. I'll say that again... I discussed this with a manager, and found out it cannot be done.


Nice try though.

^And yeah, that 18-55 lens is complete garbage.

meh, i'd had the camera for like a week
and was trying to get used to it

i rarely use it now ok

(i haven't shot anything period in a while anyway )

3/7/2006 4:12:39 PM

I can't hate, it is still the only lens I have simply because I can't afford anything new at the moment. And instead of buying another mediocre lens for a hundred bucks, I'm just going to wait until I can afford something nice.


I need money

3/7/2006 4:19:58 PM

the more i look at it

the more i think that is my 50mm

and i love my 50mm

^you should really just drop the mid-level money and get one from a couple years ago
the 1.8 is just as good as the new 1.4 (unless you are willing to spring for the USM)

3/7/2006 4:21:42 PM

You have the 50mm compact macro? That is a damn good lens. I was gonna save an extra 150 or so and get the 60mm, just because I heard it is L quality glass and half the cost.

3/7/2006 5:23:07 PM

hey Ronny

you should take some pics for the contest thread

3/7/2006 5:24:56 PM

What contest thread?

Sure I'll take pics of TWW hotties ladies.

Metricula does live next door to me after all.
However, to avoid being creepy (see:iphotou) I won't ask anyone if I can take pictures of them for TWW.

3/7/2006 5:33:49 PM

a am a little bit nervous about this whole photography thing eating up all one's money

-ZiP!-

3/7/2006 6:02:59 PM

^ I'm only $500 in the hole for the last three months of photography. That's not too bad, right?

3/7/2006 6:08:19 PM

It is an addiction. Be careful.

3/7/2006 6:09:59 PM

errybody got one of those shots



and trust me

in the long run

digital slr = cheaper than buying film, paper, chemicals, and taking the time to develop the film and/or development fees

3/7/2006 11:55:12 PM

I have not been keeping up with this thread, but WW ZiP!

3/7/2006 11:57:42 PM

^^hefty camera there chief - good stuff - your earlier times-square-looking shot inspired me to shoot that tonight

^haha, i think that's a compliment? thanks!

This one I just submitted for a photo contest whose theme was "for emergency use only"

first shot:
interesting that theres such a definite falloff point of the focus on the wallet - nice that its pretty abstract at first glance.

second shot:
seems to feel a bit grey overall? but very cool subject to shoot.

third shot:
i like the soft white reflection on the bowl a lot, but the actual subject doesn't really do anything for me

did you take the pic like chinamen do?

did you crouch and contort your body to get the perfect shot?

3/11/2006 4:35:16 PM

when i took the shot of the people getting on the bus, the bus driver layed on the horn, then ran out, and got up in my face, very angry...

him: "did you take my picture?!?!"
me: "naw man, you weren't in the shot"
him: "you can't do that! this is the MTA!!"
me: walking away

Why would anyone ask if they can take photos of someone for TWW?

i think that's referring to the "spring break bikini contest"

3/12/2006 11:17:45 AM

is there a good camera store around here? Southeastern Photo in Cary is closed on sundays, and Wolf Camera blows

3/12/2006 11:34:00 AM

haha, u took out your long lens to stalk those guys in shots 2 and 3. Stalker!

I don't know their hours, but Peace Camera (Peace St.) is the best camera store in Raleigh.

I wish I could afford a digital slr, but i love sony p200, I've gotten amazing photos with it.

3/19/2006 11:16:38 PM

they've gotten more affordable -- you can potentially get the body of a nikon d50 for $550 online

3/19/2006 11:18:42 PM

Random shots from the other night.

3/19/2006 11:19:55 PM

nice man! i'd personally brighten #1 and #3 a touch, and perhaps pull up the blues a touch (they feel a bit on the orange side). the middle one looks great!

-ZiP!-

[Edited on March 19, 2006 at 11:25 PM. Reason : the tight focus is great]

3/19/2006 11:21:37 PM

ya i haven't priced them with my discount. but i am content with what i have.

3/19/2006 11:22:59 PM

Yeah, I haven't adjusted any of them. Just resized them, since 8mp is a big much.

3/19/2006 11:25:13 PM

ah gotcha --

yah, adjusting definitely is time consuming

-ZiP!-

3/19/2006 11:25:49 PM

i've grown to love the orange tint my camera shoots



i love flashes on long exposures

speaking of playing around w/ long exposures

i need to take some more panning shots

3/19/2006 11:46:50 PM

we should have a tww photograpy contest. just a thought

3/19/2006 11:49:06 PM

^^that panning shot is sick! wow, im impressed

^yah, punchmonk and chocolatvh were talking about that the other day

-ZiP!-

3/19/2006 11:57:57 PM

i'm up fo' it

3/19/2006 11:59:54 PM

if we get suitable time allotments and such (and lots and lots of rules), i'd give it a whirl, but if we've gotta churn somethin out super fast, i may pass, its tough during the workweek sometimes

-ZiP!-

3/20/2006 12:03:29 AM

I'd be down, but someone who knows what they are talking about would have to set the rules, and there would not be any fucking "elders"

YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR NEW YORK CITY

3/26/2006 11:42:51 PM

I'm gonna go take a bunch of pictures of the Kenly skyline tomorrow. It'll put these NYC shots to shame.

3/26/2006 11:43:57 PM

don't adjust 8mb. adjust a small version and try out what you want to do, then do it to the big version. You can just have a script run adjustments
