Official Misc Photography Crew, Part IV "You're not close enough."

[ShoryuBrah]

May also have a quick TFP shoot tomorrow with someone I found on model mayhem who is a surgeon but does fitness modeling on the side.

thanks for the tips EP. Decisions to make...no rush at all although. I figure from the cons from the 610/750 (no 1/8000 shutter speed, 250 flash sync) are no problems. I doubt i'll ever be shooting something as fast as 1/8000 (heck i don't even think birds are that fast!)



If i ever make it to hawaii, you'd hook me up wit dat dere misc photography crew discount?

Everything is discounted already lol, especially for cameras - the Navy Exchange is a non-profit, you don't pay sales tax when you shop here.

Haven't done much shooting or miscing lately. My wife and I just bought our first house so I've been busy cleaning, painting, moving etc. Also had a Disney vacation we just got back from. Bad timing, but it was booked in May before we knew about the house. Oh well, soon things will settle and I'll be back to contributing. In the mean time here's a Disney snapshot.

tfw a guy was randomly taking pictures at an event I went to and is now selling them and they look cool like I want to have them and put them on ******** but aren't worth buying

$11 for a 5x7... no thanks jefferey. The previews are also too small to tell if they are any good at size and have a huge watermark.

I rarely ever shot anything at 1/8000 when I had it. I don't even notice that it's gone on my 6D.

There are definitely times where I'm thinking of replacing my 24mm/50mm with a 24-70. Shooting 24mm at f/1.4 makes for a unique photo though. I'd definitely miss that.

It's only going to be an issue in full sunlight with a fast lens and dialing back ISO to 50 or using an ND would solve the problem.

That doesn't change the fact it's a stupid limitation.

If it was a feature only available in the pro models that's one thing but the Nikon D7100 and Canon 7D both go up to 1/8000 so that's not the case.

Memo to Canon and Nikon: charge more for a better sensor and build quality but don't cripple cameras to avoid cannibalizing sales of more expensive models.

One from yesterday. I'll go back at some stage and clone out all the boats, birds and mainly the light leak from my ND filter at the bottom once I get some spare time. Thought I'd just upload something as I haven't done so in a while.

Just had my son doing whatever he wanted. while I messed w/ different light positions and power. I liked how that one turned out, cause if you know my kid, you know it fits him well.

A few last ones from the alps. First one is me cross country skiing by sunrise, basically put seal skins under your skis so you can walk up a mountain with them. gets you to cool places.

Next one is a random capture of a rain cloud moving through the mountains on a half-sunny day.

Let me know if anything could be better.

^^ I like that picture of your kid a lot. But I'm evil, so...

Question: I'm looking into buying a 70-200mm, and they just so happen to have a used one on B and H. On their rating scale they have it as a 9 and it's $2,000 (savings of $400.) Is that a solid deal? Is now a good time to buy said lens? Advice please, and thank you.

Ask yourself if you really need the VR (or whatever it's called if it's Canon). I got the 80-200 for around $800 or so and am quite happy with it. I'm sure I'd want the VR if I was shooting events with it though, it's my new go-to for location portraits. (Home studio is a little too tight to use it much)

[wellyeah]

That's called a stink bug and if you didn't kill it, the negs are coming.

I try to respect all nature lol, especially when they're outdoors and not bugging me.

Here's another shot from last evening:

Honestly, I don't really NEED any of this sh*t; not doing anything really serious at the moment, just wanted something with some more reach when I'm out 'jacking' around. I do have a friend with a wedding coming up, so I may be shooting that to see if I could handle it. I would normally just buy all these things new, but if I get the $2,000 one, I can get it a few weeks earlier as I'd have the money saved up. I lack patience. Just wondering if B and H was gonna try and sell me some beat to hell lens (I like my stuff to look nice because I take care of my equipment.)

[KRANE]

Two more uploads, finally the weekend so I can work on pics more.

Impressive vector and vanishing point. They should have called you on opening day.

As for the car. You only tipped the iceberg. There's so much more that can be done with that little beauty. Diffused lighting/angles/etc. I suspect you have more. But there's at least 100 photos there.

Excellent shots, all of you. You all should be quite proud of them.

If i ever get a chance to go to hawaii, i'm just gonna try to hit up the exchange and tell every clerk "u aware?"

[FappinBrah]

Im back brahs!!! Been a long time but feelsgoodman.jpg


I need to check out the work you have all done because I have been off this for awhile.

I also won a photo contest at my school for a photo I took of my pup

I purchased my 70-200 f4L lens from them...used...works like a charm and I do trust their rating system. Buy it a few weeks ahead of time so IF there is ANY issue...you can get it sorted out

[Ralph Wiggum]

So I got this random e-mail the other day.

Hi My name is ...
I’m the art manager at ...... in Monterey California. We’re a small publishing firm that specializes in educational supplements. We’re finishing up a series of science books called Skill Sharpeners Science. The fourth grade book has a section on wave power and we’d like to use your photo of the Powerbuoy. I’ve attached a copy below along with a pdf of the article. Would it be possible to get your permission to publish this photo in our book? If so please let me know and I will e-mail a permission form

I'm not really sure what to do. Any tips?

I took a picture of a buoy (built by a company my job was working with) that was being deployed while on the job with my personal camera. Is this considered my intellectual property or since I was technically working at the time, even though they didn't ask me to take pictures, is it owned by my employer?

Awesome. Thanks. Hopefully they still have it in two weeks.

[FappinBrah]

Awesome. Thanks. Hopefully they still have it in two weeks.

No problem. they also have either 30 or 60 days return policy too

Saw weiner dogs racing today.

Just changed the WB here, haven't really touched any of the photos from the race yet, but thought i'd share the cuteness of this pic.

It was kind of interesting shooting this event with only a 50mm and a 18-55 mm, made you feel creative about how you were gonna shoot these small but long dogs. Lots of kneeling...good portion of the track was closed off too which brought interesting challenges.

[IamIchiban]

sup brahs, just decided to be more serious on photography.

This is a photo I shot few nights ago.

Canon supposedly announcing something big:

http://www.seeimpossible.usa.canon.com/

Could be anything though. They obviously make more than cameras. Inb4 new colors for the Rebel line up.

[VmissileX]

Excellent photo.


But man, thats a gross looking subject.

Poll: Would you buy a high MP Canon EOS 5DIV?

"I am fine with 20 to 24 MP."
"I don't need all those megapixels as I presume that fps will drop in that case."
"Personally I do not need more pixels (as others said before, would need more storage and all that)"
"For my use, I do NOT want more megapixel."
"No. 24 mp would be enough for me"
"Not concerned with megapixels at this moment in my photographic life. The 20 or so that I have now seems to work just fine"
"Megapixels are just fine now."
"I'd hope a 5D4 wouldn't go past 24 mp"
"High MP is not a priority in my shooting"
"I would never buy a camera just because it had more MP."
"More pixels don't interest me for what I'm shooting."

[VmissileX]

This review right here of the nikon d750 by Ross Harvey has been a huge hit over the weekend i've been seeing:
http://www.rossharvey.com/reviews/nikon-d750-review

I've read through parts of it, but i'll be one to say, he is quite a talented photographer himself. His work, especially his post processing is quite beautiful. He does a comparison to the D3S, and finds the d750 works better for him for his line of work (weddings). He makes many good points about the ISO performance of the d750, but as i've been looking at the many comments on the web regarding his review, i'm getting the impression people assume that they will get the same results if and only if they get the d750. I do think he makes good points the camera works for him because of the ISO performance, autofocus, and the FPS works well for weddings, but for many the similiar results can be done with practically any camera with good skills in post and a good ability to capture interesting things.

5D3 is close to what I'd consider a perfect camera for my usage. If they could just improve the sensor among some other things, I'd be sold. Although I'd be perfectly fine with the current sensor if I had one.












































Also 40mp + 8fps and built in 2x extender
