BRETT!
First...Thanks for letting me capture that amazing panning shot of Ted's model in flight...
and Second!!!
WOW!
I DON'T USUALLY THROW ROSES WHEN I SEE PHOTOS...HOWEVER, BRETT!!! That last is one amazing glamour shot photo you took of Ted's CLPA art! My newbee Digital camera skills with my little so-so quality $150.00 Panasonic ZS5 so often reminds me just so often,(like the song sings) "MOMMA, DON'T TAKE MY NIKON CAMERA N' KODACHROME AWAY"
Shooting "RAW" before I bought my first little Fuji digital camera------I thought Shooting in RAW meant shooting photos SHOOTING GLAMOR SHOTS OF NAKED LADES WITH EVERYONES PANTS OFF!
barebottom line:
What's your favorite camera...(humm? My skills are pretty slim with digital camera knowledge and enhancement programs!
Perhaps, Brotha Brett?...
.Could you recommend a higher quality camera that still doesn't weigh a ton and need a gaggle of wide n' long expensive bulky lens and equipment?
Any chance that I could smoooooooooooooze you into sharing more of your favorite photos(and by all means.. your photos don't have to be CLPA related on the ol' "AS TIME GOES BY?"
Thanks...and have a great time at Tuscon huh?
I am not going to Tucson, I think I will likely be in Colorado Springs that week.
You flatter me! I am no Elwyn Aud, who I consider the master of the genre.
I just point the damn thing as something someone else made pretty, not too difficult. It's really hard to take a bad picture of Jessica Alba, too, I expect.
I recall another similar thread on this topic but I think that one got lost when the board crashed. I will take a shot at redoing the thread later (don't have any time right now) but for things like this, good or bad, you *have to have an SLR*. For stuff that is stationary, the point and shoots will work just as well, but when its moving and you have to critically time the shutter, you *have to have an SLR*, the best point-and-shoot in the world will not cut it. These were all made with a (new at the time but bordering on obsolete today) Nikon D90.
I did eventually figure out the exposure, BTW:
( Nikon D90 with a semi-ancient Nikon 70-300 F4-5.6 AF Zoom, f/9.0, 1/1250 second, pattern metering, program auto exposure, manual pre-focus at some unknown distance (since the lens is old enough it doesn't put that into the EXIF data), this is hardly manipulated, it came of of the camera essentially as you see)
