For you photography-minded posters

[2pac]

I did a lot of photography back in the day. I got a new camera this week to get back into it.

This one is great!

[Kori Ellis]

And this one ...

These are some of my favorites too. I am going to frame a couple.

I could post some pictures but I don't think most of the posters in here would like my pictures.

[Jekka]

What kind of camera did you get? The photos are nice.

[2pac]

Canon 10D

I like photography too.

I use an old Cannon Rebel.

I'm not really into the digital camera thing but I'm going to break down and get one.

Is 3.1 pixels good enough?

[exstatic]

3.1 pixels will make everything look like a block or cube. I recommend at least 3.1 megapixels.

I would never use a point-n-shoot for photography.

The new Digital Rebel is like 8 MP and will cost around 900. Its nice, but 6MP will get you a 20x24 picture.

I love my Rebel and have gotten some great pics.

But I mostly experiment and see what I get.

3.1 megapixels it is.

Thanks

Canons are the best - great lenses. I hate that mine is a APS, but eh. I have an old Nikon, too though, that's about thirty years old that takes awesome pictures. I will always maintain that digital cameras are great for some things, but for pictures you're really going to care about a regular film camera is always the best - you can always get a photo CD if you want stuff for the computer.

[JoeChalupa]

I agree. I used to have a nice Pentax with a nice zoom lens but it got stolen.

I'm currently into trying different filters and effects. I like black & white photos too.

If you process your own film there are some cool effects you can use - one I found by accident is partially solarizing the negatives. If you're printing your own photos there are some fun tints to use, especially on black and white. I know there are a couple of companies that make a tint for B&W to metallicize the black portions of the print.

Now that I have a 6+ MP SLR, there is no reason to want film.

[JoeChalupa]

Wow, that rocks.

To be honest, I don't know enough about the digital camera technology to really compare to film but I personally, enjoy working with film.

Can you get the same effects on digital such as time elapse pics and dual images? Do you have the same ability such as filters?

A guy who's a photographer but has his username as 2pac....interesting..

[JoeChalupa]

Yeah, kind of hard to picture.

All the same filters, all the same time-elapse, although the process is a little different. I plan on trying to take some of the highway and seeing how it works.

2pac is about as cracka as they come.

Very Cool Pic's

Thanks for the link

I know I'm a purist, but there's just something about the actual light imprint of the real image that I love. It's like the difference between digital and analog recording - one really captures the event and the other does the best impression that it can.

I worked in the [digital] darkroom tonight.

Enhanced Photos

[JoeChalupa]

Nice. I bought a inexpensive Kodak digital camera just to fool around with.
Haven't downloaded them yet.

But have some great 35M shots developing now....at Wal-Mart.

[2pac]

Develop at Sams.
