Just tips on general to get better on photography. Thanks guys!
Hey guys,
I know very of photography but I'm a drawer/artist. Any tips on what I can do to start? What type of things to pictures to take? Camera brands? I'm planing to buy the aNext camera with a 16-55 lens. What's the difference between a 16-55mm lens and a 18mm lens besides the size of the lens? Any though about this camera? I'm going to be using this camera for photography, make digital drawings(photoshop), and art(drawings,paintings,etc).

Really? so then why do people pay 1000s of dollars for expensive cameras if they can just use a wall mart special? (serious question I always wanted to know)

My best explanation is control. With the compact digital there's always a bit of luck involved. In the shot of the Bistro I took 7 pictures of it until the camera focused on the part I wanted it to focus (the chairs in front - notice that the red neon is slightly out of focus). I know all the tricks with the digital compact and sometimes I still can't get the shot I want.
With a pro SLR you're in control. The focus is right where you want it, if you play with the exposure, you get exactly what you should be getting, so in a way you can only really learn photography with an SLR (in theory a compact that has the full manual mode is also a good learning tool). If you know how to take good picture with an SLR you'll take better pictures with a compact.
This said the advances in the digital compact cameras of the last 10 years have been tremendous. You can do stuff with a 150$ digital camera that you couldn't do with any of the compact film cameras. Internal digital processing and low prices have really put good photography within reach of anybody who's interested.
Yeah, we don't even have to look over our shoulder that much anymoreI guess our gain is North Korea's loss
Nah I don't have any new pics of Amsterdam. I rarely have the opportunity to walk around the cities I'm in anymore. My last three visits to Paris this year (before this one) were all in the duration of a few hours. I actually barely saw the city because of the subway.
Still beats working at a desk in an office (at least it does for me - you'd be surprised how many people hate traveling and actually quit their jobs because of it).
Great thread. I'd like to contribute but i can't add attatchments.
Is it a 1,000 posts requirement?
No it's not. Anybody can post images.

Somehow I immediately thought of Dali when I saw it.
If you could have avoided the power lines it would have bee even better.

That was actually taken in Western Kansas. I was visiting friends there (don't ask me how I know people from Kansas) and we had a massive ice storm. It was absolutely crazy. Just to the east of where we were they had a full inch of ice ac ulation.
Deleted the image and included it in collage in next post...

Took these images in a 24-hour period a few weeks ago... It's a sunrise, that day's sunset and the next morning's sunrise.
I loved the three different looks. There was never any intention to photograph anything but the last pic, but the first Sunrise was amazing, and the dim tones of the sunset were equally captivating. I had known the next morning would bring snow, so when I saw the first sunrise, I figured I'd just go with it.

Only an inch?
I remember one winter, we had quite a bit more than that. It was a while ago though. January 1979, just before Global Cooling ended.
Slomo those are cool they didn't show up on my laptop when you posted them the first time. You send them into Artslant?
