TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 Nice pics. What kind of camera did you get? I saw a cabrio Laurel in Old Town on Friday night. Thought of your car. Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Bigprfed22 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Posted December 5, 2010 Its actually an affordable super zoom. Fuji Fine pix 2700HD. I hope i could get a DSLR soon, so many different lenses give you an infinite selection of effect. :top: i got two wheels cleaned up :wavey: Nice pics. What kind of camera did you get?

cmcveay Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 That tunnel shot is awesome! I've been thinking about getting a little shoot and go digital to put in the car. I won't leave the DSLR in the car unless I'm within sight of it... Nice job though!

orcadog Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 That camera takes a nice shot! And you compose well too. This is a little OT, but one of your shots of your car (I love the Laurel editions) inspired me to tell you that a pair of Hella Black Magic's would look sweet in place of your traditional Hella's IMHO :embarassed:. I too aspire to own a nice DSLR. I currently have a Canon G9 and a couple of Canon PowerShots for "pocket" use. Great car and great pics! Have fun your new toy!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 When you guys are ready for a digital SLR I would be happy to get together and let you try my Canon Rebel. It's an entry level SLR, I like it a lot. But already have my eye on a more professional model Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TATTRAT Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 I have a couple Nikon D80's that I can offer up for testing too, for something different. flickr
cmcveay Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 And the same goes here, I've got a Nikon D40x and a D5000. I've got the matching kit lens (18-55mm) lenses for each and I also have a 10-24mm, 55-210mm and a 35mm that will work on either body. I plan on making it out for the C3M event next Sunday and I'll be glad to offer up either of them for someone to to try out. I'm finding myself spending more and more of my time in "just short of manual" mode by using a shutter or aperture priority and I have even gone into manual mode a few times where I have to set both of those. It takes me back to the days of my Minolta SRT-101 and X-700 35mm SLR's! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

It takes me back to the days of my Minolta SRT-101 and X-700 35mm SLR's! How do you like the 35mm prime? I have been shooting a lot more primes lately, and have been tossing up the idea of the 35, or an 85, mainly for portrait, and interior work. flickr
cmcveay Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 I like the 35 and I'm looking for an 85 as well. The prime does make you work for the composition, you can't rely on the zoom to get what you want. I've been having the most "fun" with that 10-24 though! I lost my monopod last weekend (funny story that I'll have to share sometime) so I need to replace that handy little tool. I just changed the Nikon neck strap for a shoulder sling and I do like the way it shift the body to hang at my hip. No bouncing and/or punching me in other places when moving around. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 I've got a 50mm prime which has become my workhorse. I also have a 60mm macro and a wide angle (which is great for shooting multiple cars in a line). Just for fun I just ordered a Holga, medium format film camera. I can't wait to play with that for some vintage style MINI shots. I hear that the photo event with C3M next weekend is being rescheduled. I'd love to do more with the cameras and our cars. Like Craig I'm playing with the manual mode more often lately. A friend of mine taught me a decent trick to shoot a few shots on auto, take a look at it, see the settings then go into manual and adjust from there.

TATTRAT Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 I shoot full manual, 100% of the time, even when shooting tethered. I love my 50mm, I have a 1.8 and 1.4, but will be simplifying that. Oddly, my 10-16 has really become my favorite walk around lens. It stays on one body, while the 28-300 3.5 stays on the other. The holga is such an awesome toy! I was shocked to see them being sold at Urban Outfitters. I like the quality the produce and certainly think it is easier then doing the manipulation in photoshop, as I am a n00b and a half when it come to PS. What is the event next weekend? The C3M, guess I should check the events calender, lol. flickr
