areaseven Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I don't own a DSLR at the moment, but I'm happy with my Canon PowerShot SX230 HS. Here are some pics I took at Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam last year: And here are some pics from Hong Kong this past February: Quote
Jefuemon Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Just got a Canon Eos Kiss X50 Double Zoom kit. Still playing with it, but I like it. Go Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters! From where we were sitting, no zoom Full zoom on my 55-250 mm lens Quote

Vegas Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 from my last trip to Monterey Nice shots man, what lens did you used on those? Quote
eugimon Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Nice shots man, what lens did you used on those? thanks, child's play compared to your shots but I'll take any compliments I can. The boats I took with a tamron POS something something and the aquarium shots were with a NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G handheld. Quote

Jefuemon Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Past the peak blooming season, but there's still a few cherry blossoms to be found. I asked my wife if it was taboo to take that last shot, and she said it was OK, if you don't mind seeing ghosts in your photo. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Got a question-----any suggestions for a camera for someone techology-inept? As in, for my mom. (it'll be too late for a Mother's day gift, but she would like one before she goes on her next trip) Basically, it needs to have 2 buttons: On/off, and "take picture". Also, "pressing the button half-way to focus, then all the way to snap the shot" is a BAD thing---she will never ever master that. Any digicams that DON'T have their shutter button operate that way? It basically needs to have an ultra-super-fast autofocus---because otherwise she'll miss every shot, asking why it didn't take the picture when she pressed the button down. Quote

(it'll be too late for a Mother's day gift, but she would like one before she goes on her next trip) Basically, it needs to have 2 buttons: An iPhone 4S perhaps? A Nikon S3300 or a S2600...Maybe even a S100? A Canon A2300? ELPH 110 HS? A Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH-6? DMC-S2? BTW, if this gonna be "Everything Photography" at least geek it up and list the camera model you use to take the pic. And if you're using a DSLR, you should be listing at least the model and lens you used to take the pic. Quote

Alot of people are using the sony NEXs line of cameras. Most of the tourists here that visit Vegas are rocking one so it must be easy to operate those cameras. From yesterday.

Agent ONE Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 When seeing the thread title I wanted to just unload with pictures of me kissing my biceps, but since you guys are awesome at photography, I will take this thread seriously. Amazing pictures everyone! Quote

treatment Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Nice setup you got there. Youre pretty much covered on all focal lenghts. thanks! trying to keep my NAS from spiraling out of control. tho i reckon i still want a nice dedicated macro-lens to complete my set and still am lusting after the D800. it's really a good thing that most Nikkors and stuff are almost always both out-of-stock and prohibitively expensive. all wants, never really an actual need.

eugimon Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 nothing as awesome as those cityscapes... some shots from the SF zoo Quote
Vegas Posted May 15, 2012 Author Posted May 15, 2012 nothing as awesome as those cityscapes... some shots from the SF zoo These are nice,especially the flower macro. Also curious about the alien looking bird. What is it? Quote
treatment Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) shot of Venus with the tamron-burrito last week, and cropped/zoomed in at 1000% via gimp. (nef is left, jpg on right): i really have no idea what i was doing. wrong and otherwise. can't even replicate the shot anymore in subsequent tries. oh, well... Edited May 15, 2012 by treatment Quote
Major Focker Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 awesome nightscapes vegas! checked the EXIF and was quite surprised at the relatively large apertures you were using. curious on your rationale -- noise control, or perhaps to avoid starbursts? Quote
pfunk Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Wow, some really professional shots Canon T2i 18-55 which I hate and 70-300 USM IS. These are raw so a bit washed out From my trip out west Quote
eugimon Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 These are nice,especially the flower macro. Also curious about the alien looking bird. What is it? thanks, the flower actually isn't a macro... it's just a really big flower... The bird is called a cassowary. Quote
Vegas Posted May 15, 2012 Author Posted May 15, 2012 awesome nightscapes vegas! checked the EXIF and was quite surprised at the relatively large apertures you were using. curious on your rationale -- noise control, or perhaps to avoid starbursts? Thank you! The reason behind that is i didnt want the shutter speed to go over 30 seconds which is the max of my camera to get a right exposure but opted to compensate with the aperture. I did not bother to raise the ISO. shot of Venus with the tamron-burrito last week, and cropped/zoomed in at 1000% via gimp.
