Any photographers in here?

I wouldn't even bother w/ renting a body man.. get a gorilla pod and a 24-70 with a teleconverter. done.

Yeah, I've tossed the body out - just glass.

Trust me, at f/2.8, your body is more than adequate. I've seen the pics you take... you'll do fine with just glass.

Word of warning: don't rent anything you're not ready to buy... This will make you want new lenses in the worst way possible.

Thanks man - and I totally understand the warning, that's part of the reason why I am renting!

Just dont' get robbed. Get the 24-70 and a TC..you'll be fine. Plus on a crop..you'd almost be at 200mm for telephoto and shooting about 2 stops slower.

Thoughts and opinions on this photo?

was taken with a nikon D70. A bit of photo shop done as well. I don't hav great Photoshop skills...I only know bits and pieces of it.

Mainly just looking to get some pointers or thoughts on the photo! I want to become a better photographer cuz I really enjoy it.

Thanks

it's kind of busy. What's the subject? The car? make it fill more of the frame, and maybe use a larger aperture so that the background is more of a background instead of confusing the composition. Also, it looks a little underexposed. Keep shooting and keep your photos simple and straight forward!

Thanks! I have a couple more shots of the car...I appreciate the help, I enjoy photography a lot I just don't think I have the "eye" for it yet.

Just shoot me a PM of the date range that you need it. I only use the body about 3-4 times a year; this year it'll be June 19, June 27, July 18.

I just ordered the 10-22mm, the 24-70L f/2.8, and a CP filter for $250 for 2 weeks... Not bad IMO

gr? I think I'm gonna stick with my camera since I went with such wide lenses. I'll still meet up with you for 5 Guys though!

 

[gr?]

You should hang out with Outlawstar. he's always bored ^_^ (see PA thread lol)

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

LOL... can't really say I'm bored since I work 60-70 hours a week. Still want to do a shoot with you sometime

Here are a couple HDR photos from the Andrews AFB Airshow this past Sunday:

CH-53 Sea Stallion with Engine Compartment Open

P-51 Mustang

Memphis Belle Nose Art

I usually can't stand HDR, but those look good.

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

Yeah they do... wow

HDR done right is awesome. its just when the tool gets abused that it gets obnoxious.

 

[gr?]

I have Photomatix but can't get results like that lol

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I have Photomatix but can't get results like that lol

this is my only HDR to date... background doesn't lend itself to HDR well, and its definitely not the quality like above.

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

I can't justify buying photomatix, but man would I love to get results for that!

 

[SeminoleMan]

Thanks for the feedback! I know HDR is either loved or hated, but I really like the results. I just wish my D40 had the auto-bracketing feature!
