You have gotten allot better ITR.What camera do you use? I am going to a tarmac rally event on June 2nd so hopefully i will get some good shots. I have been dying to get out with my camera but i am always at work..ahh. I just want to go out one day for a few hours all alone and take some pictures.

 

[CDailey]

Thanks, I use a Canon dRebel 300d. I'm looking to upgrade to a dRebel XTi though.

Here's another shot I forgot to upload earlier.

It could very well that 300D is almost 99-100% the
same inside as 10D except the external package
and the software running on it. 300D is a marketing
strategy for Canon. They had already planned it
this way from the beginning... Remember, most of
time it always cost them more money to remove
hardware functions in 10D than to keep it. But it
cost them almost nothing to remove software
function in 10D and market it as 300D.

They REMOVED some of functions in 300D on purpose
because 300D was marketed as lower end product
than 10D. This also served to make people bought
10D FEEL much BETTER, otheriwse they will think they
have been ROBBED.

I have seen hacked firmware for several cameras so far. I believe one was a firmware hack to make the DRebel XT into the DRebel XTI. I had a DRebel xti and i wasn't impressed by it at all. My Nikon's blow it out hard. So you might want to hang back a bit and see what the code monkeys do with the firmware

 

[CDailey]

I know all about the 300d/10d thing, haha. I have the hacked 10d firmware on my 300d.

I didn't know anyone had hacked it as of yet?

ITR would do that because he's a shady fellow, sorta like your neighbourhood drug dealer.

Just a heads up to "David" of Miami, Florida, (if you're on here), I would stop hotlinking photos from my site because they are going to be replaced with something not so pretty.

Haha, it's been hacked for a year or two now. I bought the camera off ebay with the firmware already switched and full documentation on how to reverse it if i ever wanted to.

Sssshhhh...don't tell anyone about my night time dealings, silly!

some shots from today

You have given me some ideas of what I can do in terms of taking photos at my Brothers wedding in November.

feel free to send my any royalty checks if you feel so inclined, other than that, glad i could be of help

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

oh also I have another shoot I'm working on scheduling with a 4.15L twin turbo G35 that should be fun to drive!

 

[tait]

 

[breakpoint]

Oh man this is a great shot. Its very different from your normal stuff, which sometimes isn't a bad thing.You don't want people to know you took the picture because of the style, but because of the composition and the quality:tup: Sometimes the style is important, Bansky wouldn't be bansky without his unique style. So, its a good thing sometimes. I just haven't been able to take a good shot in about a month, just lost some of my drive the last little while... Do you make all of your frames or use an action?

 

[GilesGuthrie]

That's a great baby shot.

I like the fact that you're clearly so horrified at taking a baby shot that you feel it necessary to post a textbook AH shot straight after!!!

I've got nothing to show at the minute. My best shots recently have been of other people's kids, and I'm not posting them without the permission that I probably wouldn't get if I asked. Such is the world in which we live.

 

[35mm]

Focal Length (35mm equiv.): 420mm
Aperture: f/2.8

How much would a lens capable of this would cost you?

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

I agree AH that baby shot is great!

DM: it depends how adept you are at bargaining and/or stealing

Nice shot. A compact's lens is smaller, and is therefore capable of wider maximum aperture numbers, but the aperture and thus depth of field are equivalent to higher numbers in 35mm terms. On that basis, a 300mm F/5.6 lens on a crop body would be capable of the shot in sheer numeric terms. The Canon 75-300 F/4-F/5.6 IS lens retails at around £150.

Thing is though, I get gear-heads trying to tell me that the shot is great because they took it with a four-grand lens. Doesn't work like this, and your Panasonic compact is an illustration of that.

It's Banksy, not Bansky.

I know, I know...
I was just messing around.

Thank you.

Thanks for picking apart my spelling errors, do you want me to post some of my work?

Broke out the manual 35mm Old, old Minolta.

 

[CDailey]

I really like the skateboard shot, bp. The pentagram is pretty sweet too. 👍

 

[breakpoint]

Thanks, the pentagram is a stencil i sprayed on the flat part of the mini ramp...board was sitting on the deck. Just thought it looked pretty good with a manual camera, seems like the lighting and all is always better with manuals.

... nobody ever responds to mine.. ehhhh.. o well
