The Photography Thread

Have questions about photography? Want to show off some of the awesome photos you've taken? Need some critique? Have at it. I won't pretend to know it all, but myself (and hopefully the other members :D) will help with whatever we can. Please keep any pictures tasteful and unique. What I mean by this is nothing such as self portraits of you and your gf/bf or other random snapshots. Other than that have fun and get some new ideas. To get thing started, here's some that I've posted before but are some of my favorites.

Just started out with photography; I need a lot more practice in this department. Also did a bit of editing in photoshop because the camera I'm currently using sucks.

Here are the very first batch of shots I took:

What camera are you using? I like the first one.quikdash6

My cell phone. :P

Haters gonna hate.

What do you think? First is the original photo edited for color slightly. Second is after using a filter program. Kind of makes it look HDR. Too much?

Prom, a day that will truly live in infamy.

@MrGeezer I like that picture with the guy, and the duck.

I swear I've seen another one with him holding a rooster/chicken.

@ comp atkins, nice macro photography. I also like the landscape although it could stand to be a little sharper. The tree, not so much.quikdash6

Uh, I think this pic is just a bit to risque, not in the fact that she is grinding up against someone, but that it borders on child porn for one little thing that appears to be exposed, at least from that angle.

If you do not want to fork out the money for a DSLR while you get your wings with photography, something like the PowerShot SX40 HS is a good advanced camera to learn with. If you want the option of using a seperate flash instead of the built in flash (reduces red eye), then the Canon PowerShot SX20IS will let you use one. These are advanced digital cameras that have features of a point and shoot camera along with features found on a DSLR. If you saw the pic I took of the lightning (posted somewhere around here), I took it with the SX20 IS.

I want to get started with photography, but I am not sure where to start. I want a good camera and I will need a lens too. It is overwhelming. But these pictures look great.TonyDanzaFan
