You may not be aware of it, but that`s a insulting question. It`s not the camera, it`s the photographer.

It`s a Canont XT btw, (EXIF)

I take all of my pictures with a brownie...

My first (horrible) attempt at photography.

I also have a quick question for you Rebel XT users. When I have the camera dial on the "P" setting, I can't seem to transfer the images over. Is there a way to fix that?

Jess, that probably means your camera is set to give RAW files when you are in the "creative zone" (The Av,Tv,P,M) When you are in dummy, eh I mean the green mode and the other picture styles it delivers jpgs. Set it on P and check the settings for Image quality.

Anyone that shoots film and hasn't tried slide film needs to get on that. I was late to the party, but now I see what the big deal is. First one's a little underexposed in the background, but I think I like it. Film is Fuji Velvia 50.

Pretty sure I told you the same thing Jess...

Not completelt true. I can make some pretty good pics with the right equipment (got 3 mags, 4 CD covers and 2 newspaper articles published with my pics )
But with my current cam It's just not as good as it was. My good gear got stolen and insurance didn't give enough money to properly replace it. And it shows unfortunately
A good cam just gives you so much more possibilities with the settings, lensen and filters

Any DSLR is capable of those pictures, but if you compare to cheap compacts of course.... Good gear has never been cheaper than now, wich is great.

I do most of my digital work with a Canon 450D(XTi I think it`s called in the US) and a 35mm f/2 , 85mm f/1.8 and I borrow a 16-35mm f/2.8 when I need it.

I had a Minolta 500i super, with Sigma 200mm, 14mm fish and 3 "normal"lensen. I now onely have a Sony DSC-H8. Wich is not really bad. But still.



oh, and I don't like DSLR. I like film

[Blix]

oh, and I don't like DSLR. I like film

I love DSLR`s, as I get paid almost every time I use mine

Personally I only shoot film, from 35mm to 8x10" large format, develop and print B&W myself. You do your own development? If you don`t try it. Really fun and pretty easy to do.
I love the smell of fix in the morning

[Basch]

My dad develops his own, So basicly I did too. I still help every now and then

[boarderaholic]

You told me about the P being the raw image...but that's it! I guess I'll go back to fiddling with the camera...hrm...

This thread makes me wish I had a camera, don't leave your backpack at the top of the hill because it will get stolen. Oh well I'm getting a D40 for Christmas.

Wow. That looks like some sweet film. Do they have black and white slide film? I tend to shoot black and white.

[getitrightsteve]

I'm trying to get more 'out there' with my photography. Do you guys have any suggestions or ideas of how I could some photo jobs. Maybe an internship or something similar. I'm just trying to get more experienced and maybe make a little money with it.

I've worked with my local newspaper a little, but they don't really need any help anymore.

I figured I would ask you guys. Thanks.

[ridesnow.]

I <3 35mm.
The background is a little under exposed, but with filters and burning and stuff i could make it look nice. Scanning sucks.

[soccerforlife]

Im not very good at photography but if i see something that looks kinda cool ill take a picture of it

[Steez Police]

Kodachrome is dope. But I'm too lazy to drive half an hour to the Ritz to get it sent for development.
