Yeah. Do a bikini shoot in UAE :D :lol:

[Tareq]

Believe me people, if i can have that then everyday i can do that.
send some from where you live and you will see how great images i will post.

[imrtun]

Being bored with the 5D isn't the problem, the same stuff would be out there for you to photograph if you had a 1d mkiii. Maybe you should spend less time at the computer and just force yourself, there's plenty of great photos all around us to be had.

If you must be on the computer how about visiting a webpage that isn't so focused on gear such as www.radiantvista.com, you could also try reading this http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/next-level-2.shtml.

Hope this helps, all the best.

You want me to send my sexy friends?

You pay shipping!

Do you realise just how "absorbing" that shot is? To hell with bikinis (on or off), I know which I prefer,

I actually had an eye opening experience just two days ago regarding "what is there to shoot?" I let my daughter use my camera for a little bit (with great anxiety on my part :rolleyes: ), and I must say, it was very interesting what she thought was "photo worthy", and she actually had some really wonderful ideas! Possibly ask another person what they would take a picture of, if they were holding the camera, and try seeing the landscape through their eyes? Of course, if you do decide that the 5D is just too boring... I'd be more than happy to see if maybe it was more interesting for me ;)

[imrtun]

I'll 2nd that one!

[cosworth]

Impose rules on yourself. Portrait only. Tripod only. Things that are blue. All shots must be 1/2 second exposure.

You'd be amazed what joining your local phot club can do for you seeing things a different way. Not that there is one in your are, just for general discussion.

Great, my older daughter is about 6 years old, so she never now what she can shoot or say she can never use any camera, only standing there asking me to shoot her all the time.

Oh, so you want to try my 5D?:p

[Tareq]

I'll 2nd that one!

you too want to try 5D? oh no, it will be really a long night.

I am very sorry, but really i didn't understand or got your point.

Leave your house and decide to take pictures of onlt a certiain type. It forces you to see things differently. Simple concept.

I will die of poverty, homeless, and so....LOL
AHA, i understand now, you want me to die so you can get all my gear;)

Wellllll when Michelle (my youngest daughter) was 6, I absolutely doubt I would have let her touch my camera... but she just turned 13, and asked very politely if she could try taking some close up shots (which for a teenager - asking politely must have been an effort in itself!) She has her own Canon p&s, and has actually done some amazing work with it. An idea might be for you to get down to your daughter's level with her, and ask her what she sees - and what she'd like to see her daddy take a picture of? Not only will it possibly give you some new ideas and a new way of viewing the world, but it may also start a love of photography in your next generation. :lol:

[Double Negative]

You've got an awful lot of top-notch gear. If you can't find something to photograph with it all... We can't help you. ;)

Lol I've tried all the camera gear I need, I work in a photography shop! Every time I pick up a 5d I want to buy it, luckily I sold all our stock for this week!

[nicksan]

I understand you pain.
I rarely get inspiration from where I live. I usually get my best shots when I travel outside my area.

I think what he meant was that when you go out and shoot, maybe decide on a theme. That might force you to think outside the box a little since it forces you to be creative because the subject is limited.

the problem is there is no travel or far long journey, even close journey is not there, and i shooted many scenes so far so nothing new interesting, if i can go far all the time or amny times then you will not see me online everyday.

[imrtun]

Well all I can say is, expect the price to drop to £2550 pretty much as soon as it's on the shelves.

If you can get discount then ok.
I never been to England, i wish to visit but UK seems to make us to avoid it as it is so Expensive country in the world.

attach your 100 macro and extension tubes and show me some exotic desert bugs.

Tell me about it, I could earn more working on a checkout at a super market or in a charity shop, but I love cameras and the customers so much that I work at the camera store.

If you let me know you're coming I'll sell you it on staff price (as you're a friend ;)), which is about £500 cheaper than RRP, hence the reason I know the price will come down, staff price is NEVER that much of a deal usually!

I will see, i don't know when i will visit England, maybe after 2 years, then maybe many new products will come out and that MKIII will be old.

I expect you're right. I'd love to meet if you did decide to come visit England at some point, something to look forward to.

Bugs as in insects - your local equivalent of this:

put some honey out and see what it attracts.

you know why i feel bored and upset? because i want to travel as much as i can, but my work give me only one time per year to have a vacation, and not sure in any vacation i will travel.
So my next vacation will be in August or delayed to November, not decided where to go but mostly i think i will go to Thailand or Australia.

I will do that and see, because all bugs [insects] we have are: flies, bees, wasps, mosqitus, little small spiders, and very very rarely i can see a black beatle, and ofcourse the most are ANTZ.

stick on an extender and your long lenses, 300 and above...

then go spy on the neighbors! It'll be creepy fun! :lol:

Good, i hope you come and visit UAE, you will see that only few cities are nice and interesting and my city is not, only very quiet calm, thats why i love it and many come to stay here instead of crowded cities around.

[TBAATAR]

can you photograph people in the street? e.g candid etc?

JPEG out of the camera, no PP, Resized, 1/100, F2.8, ISO3200, 24-70L used.

Instead of using iso3200 and handheld, try using a tripod, lower iso and longer shutter speed. Expand your horizons with different styles of shots. By slowing down you'll end up concentrating more and you'll improve your knowledge and skills in the process.

i just learn how i can get good photos out of my Camera in fast way, so then someday if i don't have tripod and some asked me to have thier photos then JPEG in low light will be a great idea, and i don't think i can use flash everywhere, thats why i am learning on JPEG out of the camera.

so out of those parts of my house yard, what is interesting there to shoot?

I will try to go out but if i can do that then i will not post those shots of the yard, most of the time i am at home so i hope to find something interesting surrounding or around me to shoot then i will have time to get some shots, i am wasting my time always staying at home without shooting.

That's a pretty nice house, Tareq. Shoot some flowers. Tile patterns. Wall textures.

There is so much to shoot everywhere, just not enough time. It doesn't matter where you are. Work on your eyes, get off of the internet, quit obsessing about gear, and learn to see. Go to galleries, buy books with photography in them, look at lots of photos, get inspired.

Hi all.
Anyway, i decided that i shouldn't share photos or asking for help or ideas to shoot, i will enjoy to shoot as before rather than try to shoot for you or others, this way i will have fun, so forgive me if i don't show anything for long time till i can see clearly that i really got great winning shots rather than many wasting shot either good or not.

Thank you for everything and really i like this website and you all so friendly kind, i will keep watching around and hope to share something interesting soon.

Have a nice time all and Enjoy!!! :):):)
