Thoughts on this new technology in camera... Work safe. I entered to win one

P.S. The focus one makes me laugh and Uncomfortable is also crack up (but not work safe)

you cant really say that, tell them who to bring, it sounds a bit off

Yep and thats the problem as the boyfriend puts them off 1 way or the other.
So Im dammed if I do and damed if I dont.

* before that a canon eos 500 35mm - which i got when my ricoh started to let in light and f* up my photos
* before that a ricoh slr 35mm (which i got when my zenit was dropped - not by me; same person who dropped my kyocera)
* before that a zenit slr 35mm - my first slr
* before that a little manual 35mm p&s from a chemist shop (which i got after my kyocera was dropped - not by me)
* before that (age 17) an electronic kyocera p&s 35mm with telephoto
* before that 2 different little 'toy' film cameras that took cartridges

hmm i see. Because i was looking in the past forum and someone in GKPE was using a 300D and just got a new camera or something.

Warren if you're here. Please tell me how you get those sorts of colors and vibrancy!
Regarding latest blog

I actually stopped using CPL once I started using my grad ND filters.
When I bought the 1D, I also bought a new 77mm expensive thin coated filter, and gave my other $100 to Kirst, as I didn't need two. Only used it a couple of times.

Literally, the 1D in Landscape mode takes such rich photos, that it would look like I've heavily photoshopped them if I used it with the CPL at the same time.

I've also found I got some bad reflections in the past between the various filters, but didn't get them without the CPL on.

Daniel had a 300D, and now has a 400D...

Here's couple pics..

PS, great portraits of Serra and Aaron

Please post photo from when you were 3 and 1 this week so we can see how far you have come

Oh i see. So its both you and the camera that produce those types of captures

My first experience with lighting

Well I think its that time where I re-evaluate where Im heading with photography. Time to explore other areas.

There is a theme comming through. I noticed it with my patternes of work. Horticulture and then computers. Umm lets see both involves things that dont have a mind of their own

People are hard work and stressful.

My first SLR was a Pentax ME82 or something, followed by an MZ-29 I think. After that I got a 300D, and now I'm using a 400D.

I'm sure there is a way you can be tactful and professional about it. I'm sure it happens everywhere.

I was curious with producing some kind of back lighting. So i went into my basement, bumped it up to iso3200 and stood in front of the light, the only light source and lined it up behind my head. I was surprised at the shadows i got. I don't know what you call this. I just thought it would be cool to try out.

Nice guns:p

What about something like "Images with impact capture the interaction between model and photographer. Anything that disturbs that interaction harms the photo shoot, and could require the shoot to be terminated. The model may be accompanied by another person, but that person may not affect the session in any way."
