crossdrilled wrote:Apparently your photography course was geared towards reading the catalog of BHphotovideo, selecting the optimum gear for every single thing you want to shoot under the sun, and upgrading every year when BH send out their catalog (I get it in the mail too). Seems that you enjoy gathering tools (just like some weekend warrior mechanics). Been there.... done that.... moved on. I upgrade my skill, not my cameras anymore.

I enjoy photography, and don't let the fact that I don't have a piece of equipment on me get me bummy (anymore).

For your lack of comprehension of my original post:

1) I said the camera is great, and technical quality is excellent. Yes there is better, but nothing that a beginner will notice for many years to come.

2) My BB is my tool sometimes. I rather take a shot with a low quality medium than have no record of a beautiful scene at all. If i don't have a spanner, I will use my mole pliers to loosen the nut. It ain't the best, but it works.

3) I am a film proponent. It is a dying medium and I encouraging as many people to take advantage of it's superior quality and aesthetic beauty before it goes away forever.

I said nothing else in my post but you extrapolated onsettashit from those points. I never tooted my own horn about my skill. I know some sh1t... I share, I listen, I learn. I am an amature photographer. The real professionals are not active in this thread, they are out in the field shooting, making a living to care about us noobs and our "what camera is best to learn photography" question that we get every week. If I wanted to be mean I could have just said "search b1tch, we beat out this topic weekly". I choose to answer the question every time, and my statement about equipment does not matter is meant to be encouraging the person to just use what they have and enjoy taking pics.. not worrying about buying mostly useless stuff before "getting into photography as a hobby". Take the chessbun down a notch.

What i have tried to say was that it is important to understand that equipment is just as important as skill.
We expect that most photographers will have the vision and skill required to see a shot from conceptualization to finish.
If this is true, then there should be nothing standing in your way as long as you have the right equipment.
don't get me wrong as I also use My BB to take fantastic shots on a whim but I know that I would get much better shots if I was using a SLR

Like you I also shoot in film although rarely as I am the proud owner of a Canon AE-1 Film SLR, but as in the case of instant gratification I much prefer use a DSLR.

Ay i have a canon AE-1 also but i'm using it currently as a desk ornament. I would like to get it working so i can "discover the wonders of film photography". Anybody allyuh could recommend to service it.

Video men, I want to extract some frames from a movie I made with canon P&S. Any idea what software I can use to do this? I own Adobe CS5, but seriously only use photoshop and vector editing programs. I think I have priemire and afterefects. Advise any freeware that can do this.. please point me in the right direction.

Cheers.

What are good third party LP-E8 batteries for a canon t2i? The official canon ones are $80 USD each!

To the more experienced guys, i took the below pic without paying enough attention to my settings, and i left long exposure compensation off *stupid, yes i know*
Any ideas on postprocessing to clean up some of the noise? I tried a bit in lightroom, didnt particularly give the salvation i was hoping for to the pic... ideas welcomed.

RBphoto · Postby **RBphoto** » March 18th, 2012, 12:58 am

^^^by Hyatt? Leave noise compensation off...it is a PITA. What noise are you talking about? Don't see any. I think you are trying to fix the wrong problem thinking it is noise. Post a 100% crop of a problem area and describe what you want to fix.

RBphoto · Postby **RBphoto** » March 18th, 2012, 1:30 am

A lil blackberry pic. Hope more people use the camera they have instead of making Nikon and Canon richer.

I have 2 Energizer replacement/extra/spare batteries for my 550D (I has some vouchers that needed using up). I paid I fink 15£ from amazon and honestly have not seen any difference. I used both the Canon & energizer batteries in sub zero degrees C, and at 35 odd degress with high humidity and both seemed to last just as long. I am yet to do day a full day where I start with a full battery and have to replace it, but that will change next month as I plan to be doing a few long days.

hope that helps,

SMc

oh...The product code is CA-LPE8..and please do not hold me responsible if you dont like eet.

Some shots i took down by the temple. First time i've been there. Critique always welcomed :cool:

and a very friendly cat that likes photos

I have seen all of those perspectives in other peoples work except the one with the sun flare in the fourth one. Quite unique.

Nice perspective on the first one.

You are getting some posterization in the 2nd to last one. Shoot in neutral mode and adjust vinbrance, not saturation in post to prevent the most saturated colors from blowing out like that.

As for the cat on a nikon strap...... no comment.

Could very well be a default desktop that comes with PC's.

what is posterization? I shot in RAW so no input form the camera, and no saturation was used either, i just adjusted the tint bar some contrast and clarity.
But thanks for the feed back.
