What was the 1st pic. you tok with your DSLR?

stckciv · 2nd of August 2005 (Tue)

Wondering what you did when when you first got your camera, what you shot, where you went, etc.

I bought my 350D from a friend at 11:30 at night heading out to shoot pictures of the Bullrun (similar to the Cannonball) that was going through town. My first pic. was of Dennis Rodmans Lambo. that showed dents in the side when someone ran into him.

Some flowers on the table. Why? Because that was the first thing I saw when I held up the camera for the first time!

Perhaps boringly I took a series of lens test/target shots in the store with my own CF card. Then I went home and processed/checked them out using Imatest. All being good I went back to the store and did a deal.

Then when I went and took this.

Sleeping husband (who got tired of me reading the manual and anxiously awaiting the battery to charge). Didn't notice it was set to the green one, so the flash fired. So this is the first one I took.

You mean after the one you take with the lens cap on, lol? This looks like my first shot after I got my 10D home 2 years ago. The reason for the camera was to take pictures of my daughter so this is probably pretty appropriate first shot.

I think I've improved not getting huge things in the way like that table corner.

My living room as seen from the dining room table. Put everything together at the dining room table, turned it on (set to the green rectangle mode), hit the shutter, the flash popped up and I got a very uninteresting photo of my living room.

Fortunately, it's all gone uphill from there (generally). Statistically speaking, I've had my 300D for exactly 100 days now and have clicked off 4,167 frames.

Seems that way sometimes. I did a car show and a ballet over the last weekend and almost 1,000 frames were from those two events. A few hundred were from several portrait shoots. The rest are just leisure activities.

As a point of comparison, I took 8,800 frames on my point and shoot camera over the course of a little over two years.

I think it was a crocus.

The first week I mainly took nature and flower photos, then I finally got to try the camera out properly during a dance contest. The dance photos were the first shots I posted on POTN.

Single shot of the wall with my new 20D. Then the next 30 shots were the same wall in one continuous burst. Wow, that was most exciting 6-7 secs of my life
