I wonder if anyone has labeled themselves as a professional "selfie" photographer, rofl.

While in high school, I would grab a camera every chance I got and snap pictures of my junk.  It's a nice funny surprise.

I should have borrowed a few teachers' cell phones for that.

Cell phones didn't have cameras when I was in HS.

I figured, but they had the game snake?

Hell, we didn't have digital cameras yet either.  Well, affordable ones at least.  a 5MP camera back then was a few grand.

I remember being in junior high when the ones that took floppy discs were awesome.  

Sony Mavica something, must have been '98?

Ha, there were no such things as cell phones when I was in HS.

Made it easy to find the pot dealer, look for a pager.

I don't know shit about photography-I just adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and iso.

Same boat here. Done lots of reading and not enough shooting.

Hell when we were in HS cordless phones were new! No more rotary phone!

Yes there were, just huge and incredibly expensive.

If no one in your town has one, I'd say that is akin to no such thing. Hell after college they were still huge and incredibly expensive.

My father had a bag phone in the late 80s.  I had a beeper throughout HS up until senior year in which I bought an analog phone.  I actually miss that thing.

I Haven't shot diddly since high school. Did 10 years of photography and photo judging through 4h growing up, took top at state and nothing since. That was all film except for just a bit though.

I now need a Fucking portrait lens by Wednesday.

SOB!

Huh? Why so fast?

If you want the 50, come grab it. Beware the fast lens shooting portraits though. It will easily allow you to have one eye in focus, the other out and the ears uber fuzzy.

Flash is what you really need and two of them if you don't have real lights. I bought a 430 thinking I'd get a 580 to control it, but wouldn't have used it yet so I haven't gotten the 580.

So here is where my family is from.

and the "lake" nearby

Excuse the photo quality. The first shot is through the glass of a bus window while moving. The second shot was taken at about 50mph on a train. Didn't have a whole lot of time to dial in settings and reshoot anything. Added a little vignette to hide the road

I would have LOVED some blue sky I suppose there is a way to fix that in photoshop, but I pretty much shoot pictures and don't dick with them outside of a white balance fix here and there.

Taken with my craptastic 450d

Definitely not great shots, but a good learning experience on how better to do it next time.

I'l also travel with my pc though so I can learn as I shoot instead of two weeks later. Hard lesson of needing a tripod and not having one and forcing a shutter speed to be okay with movement and not being able to hold my f stop

Fuck that's beautiful. The valley reminds me a little bit of El Capitan off the 101 in CA--which I want to go backpacking through sometime!

Where were those taken Sean? Reminds me of The Alps in Switzerland.

Seriously? Maybe come see you Wednesday morning? It would be a week before I could get back over there.

I can't see my grandfather for fathersday with my family because of work, and my aunt rearranged blah blah blah, I get to see him Wednesday night now. As he is 90, this is one of those reasons I need one on hand and not rent.

Need to crash. Getting up early. I stayed an hour and a half late to take a skinny deal and fix 6-8 major problems with other people's sales.

:-)

I will connect with you tomorrow, and if it is ok with you and works out I might take you up on it! Thank you!

Almost all of the last few things I have done said no flash. Of course portraits are difference and for family stuff I could use them. The graduations and concerts I cannot.

Get Lightroom. 900 times more useful for us. Nothing to learn, just really easy and helps so much. Your machine shoots in RAW right?

I have heard aperture is a good one too, but I tend to trust Adobe.
