Photography thread

One of the reasons I don't use this camera anymore is that I have a DSLR (D40 with pretty much the same two lenses) the other is with film you have to be a little more picky on what you shoot. You can go through a roll pretty quick if you're not careful. With digital, you can shoot almost forever and can end up throwing half your shots away and doesn't cost you a thing! I'm not looking for anything for the gear, well at most a case of beer perhaps. I prefer it to go to someone who will put it to use.

 

The short version here is pop that camera and those lens' up on CR for a case of even Bud Lite and they will be gone within hours.

 

I recently sold my old Nikon 300 2.8 EDIF lens. It weighed a TON and was sharp as a razor. I still have some Nikon glass but have been shooting Canon for about 14 years. Canon went full frame sensor 2 years+ before Nikon and I had clients wanting the higher res files so I went Canon. Canon has some excellent optics too. I was a film Nikon guy for a very long time. Still have a few old F3's and a F4 around somewhere. Sold a F3 to a friend a few years back who is shooting B&W with it.

 

I love my F3. So well made, great features, and designed by Giorgetto Guigiaro, who designed the lotus esprit, alfa romeo guilia, 1965 mustang, the list goes on.

 

I may be interested. I'll see if my niece still has her darkroom equipment. If so, I may get back into black and white film, just to smell the chemicals again.

 

I think he's talking about cameras, not bikes...

 

It's yours if you want it. Let me know, I'll put it aside for you.

 

lol, Not MV's?

 

Yeah, I'll take it. My eldest is getting into a digital photog class in college, maybe he and I can do some old school B&W as well.

 

Thought I'd revive this thread with some pics I've taken lately. I think they are all cell phone pics. I haven't used my dslr in so long!

 

Wrong time, wrong place or ET could have posted selfies.

 

As ET isn't here, feel free to step up in his place..:smug:

 

Sorry Pete! No cell phone. I am compiling a booklet on 99 things that can be done with a selfie stick.

I always figured somebody would make a sequel to ET with him/her returning as something close to Alien.

 

i must admit I personally hate them - almost to the point if someone sticks one in my face they will find it snapped off...

 

As soon as I finish, I will do a sequel aboot 99 things that shouldn't be done with a selfie stick.. Thanks for the idea..

So would you buy using one on say a Nikonos or a point and shoot in an Ikelite housing when having a go with a 500lb Grouper or a big Moray Eel? Those Aussies ain't got nothin on critters just below the surface..

I wonder how many gallons of green paint it took to get all those bushes looking like that.
