..hey, can we make a rule? You can't take a picture of your face, or someone take a picture of your face, unless you are: Female, have a tan, dont have bug eyes, and or looks like you have showered recently.

Cuz you guys is ugly. I mean you are uglier than I am ugly. The graveyard tan works if you have a tattoo or something. Otherwise you look like a pasty Canadian that's hungry.

Are you referring to me?

**monkeyhead** · 03-24-2009 08:43 PM

Some of my newer stuff. I'm thinking a slow shutter...like 15-30sec of the picture of the beach would be sick...with the sea mist flowing over the hills and all.

Anyone else photograph surfers/bodyboarders? Seems like you need a LONG lens. I'm thinking I should pick up a cheapo 70-300mm. Will this give me that much more range? Take the picture of the surfer for example, at 300mm, how much tighter of a crop would I have? Can anyone recommend me a cheap 300mm lens (for nikon)?
View Large...It looks much better

get a waterproof housing for like $3XX and sit out there on a tube or raft and shoot some closer shots
seems cheaper to me, and if you like shooting surf you might as well.

**Crappysurfer** · 03-24-2009 08:53 PM

i was just cruising amazon for lenses and scoped out a 70-300 for $150 (for nikons)

Is it a Nikon lens or a lens that fits Nikon? Because that Nikon Lens is ridiculously awesome but there's no way in hell I could ever afford it... I think I might try to get the 55-200 VR

**jlmitch** · 03-24-2009 10:06 PM

There's a push-pull 75-300mm Nikon that is probably around $150, but it won't autofocus on anything lower than a D70 I think. I got it on a whim and I'm not sorry.
