Posted March 4, 201114 yr Bought a Canon 40d from a friend last christmas, here are some shots I've taken.
March 4, 201114 yr Author thanks everyone and i did editing on a few of the lightning pictures, just auto tone and contrast in cs4, the rest of my truck and random objects, they have no editing at all.
March 4, 201114 yr Yup, impressed. Photos like these make me hat my little digital camera. It was free so i'm not complaining
March 5, 201114 yr amazing photos, is this your first SLR?? The shots of the dog seem a little off with white balance but insanely sharp... I'm thinking of picking up a second-hand Sony Alpha possibly...
March 5, 201114 yr Author amazing photos, is this your first SLR?? The shots of the dog seem a little off with white balance but insanely sharp... I'm thinking of picking up a second-hand Sony Alpha possibly...thanks and yeah, my first dslr. couple of the photos were shot in auto, and a majority of them were in manual, once i understood how to compensate exposure, aperture and shutter speed. I got this camera, because my point and shoot i have had for a few years, the screen had broke when i was on vacation one summer and its pretty much useless to take accurate photo's with it anymore.
September 28, 201113 yr Author going to bump this......i still have the 40d, but after i finished college up, i decided to treat myself and buy a 7D! (i love this camera!)
September 28, 201113 yr Author DAMN! nice pics man. Wanna sell your 40d? Nevermind. Lol. Just looked at the prices... thank you! and hahahahaha, I would like to actually. It comes with 2 batteries, charger, and some other misc. Has about 4k actuations on it.
September 29, 201113 yr lol... I picked up my A580 and have taken 5k in less than a month... Get with the program !!! lol :fing34: Edit: Forgot to add, you took some great shots bro.... Doing any editing yet?

Doing any editing yet?damn! i've taken about 1k with the 7d since june. and thanks, so far i just adjust the levels and some vignetting with cs4 and i use lightroom every now and then.
September 29, 201113 yr Yea, I've done alot of night time shooting with some prime and zoom lenses... Luckily for me I can try a few different lenses from time to time... But I need a good everyday lens.. I've been looking at this:it's a 16-105mm lens so it can cover decent range for the most part... But I def want a nice prime lens as well but everyone is telling me not to waste my money....
September 29, 201113 yr Looking over them again, I can definitely see how the pictures were "better" in the second set of ones you uploaded. Better contrast, better shot choices, just all around better in my opinion. I still rock Film SLR's. Might pick up a DSLR one day....
September 29, 201113 yr Author I didn't know it got cold enough in Texas for ice to form on cars... lol, a one time occurrence. it was supposed to snow, but instead we got ice.

But I def want a nice prime lens as well but everyone is telling me not to waste my money....that would be a awesome range for all around everyday lens. I've been using the kit 28-135mm lens on the 7d more so than the 18-55mm and the 50mm. but the 50mm is just so crisp and clear! Looking over them again, I can definitely see how the pictures were "better" in the second set of ones you uploaded. Better contrast, better shot choices, just all around better in my opinion. I still rock Film SLR's. Might pick up a DSLR one day....Thank you sir, I've been slightly improving, but i'm still no amateur or anything, just more of a hobby right now. I'm hoping to go to another coffee and cars this weekend and get a lot of shot's if it isn't 110 degrees outside!what film slr's are you using?
September 29, 201113 yr I sold all of them except for my Canon EOS Rebel XSN. I was realllllllly into photography in highschool and started taking pictures as a side job (family portraits, senior pictures, wedding pictures, stuff like that). I had so many i can't even remember... a couple nikon's and my Canon. Like all enthusiasts i had a Minolta. Besides the Rebel, i never had a camera for much longer than a couple months. But as soon as i got out of highschool, i lost access to darkrooms. In my opinion, developing is half the art and half the fun. Photoshop is fun and all.. but darkroom "photoshopping" is just what I'm used to doing and I think it's much more interesting. So for now, i don't take many "artistic" photos. Mostly photos to document places, events, and people. The hobby faded out for me :/ Plus, with digital cameras so prevalent, everybody out there can take crystal perfect shots. They don't need to worry about the speed of the film even. I'm just so horribly biased towards film cause It's what i grew up on. Photography is just like anything else in the world; the more you do it the better you'll get. Go out and take shots. Lots and lots of shots. You don't even have much of an excuse if you're digital

You don't even have much of an excuse if you're digital old school FTWi really wish i could see what all is involved in processing film. i read a lot about it in a couple of photgraphy books, but it always ends up saying, since everything is digital now, just go take all the pictures you want! film costs $$$, where as digital is free.
