I've been interested in this for a long time, and a friend of Mine on another site takes amazing pictures so My interest has yet again been piqued. I would love to get a digital camera at some point, maybe even ask for one for My birthday, but I've been thinking about starting to get out more this spring/summer to not only enjoy the weather and nature but to take pictures as well. There is a beautiful park mere blocks from where I live and I haven't truly enjoyed it in awhile, this will only give Me more of a reason to do so ......... I can't wait :)

As an artist, I respect all forms and expressions of art. This is a wonderful thread.

hi. i stumbled upon this site earlier, and thought someone might benefit from reading on bird photography. the tips are realistic, and i agree with the author of the article- it's not necessary to spend a fortune on equipment.
passion, getting close to subject, having a lot of patience, timing, and lighting make all the difference. oh, and waders ;) http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/birds.htm |
Happy to find this thread! Thanks for getting it started. :)
I've been a photo hobbiest for about 17 years now. I love sharing what I see and how I see the world with others. I keep a few public things public here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristystreet/ |

I have a question: what lens do you use for most of your shots? |
Quote:
I used to have a larger zoom that I was fond of, but it broke. :sigh: |
|
So, what are you shooting this month?
Do you shoot film or digital? Why? |
i shoot both..digital and film....something about the smell of developing chemicals and the feel of a B/W negative between your fingers ...and doing it all in a "dark BAG" or dark room..that i just can not give up.
Tho i must admit digital is so much easier and faster...cheaper, simpler and with adobe i to can be ansel adams.... (opps my prejudice is showing) I use digital for simple pictures..family stuff....and all that.... when i am photographing for my personal artistic gratification i use my 35 mm or my 126 or will make a camera out of a shoe box and have some fun...... This month i am photographing the new grandchild.the old grandchild....the rhubarb....the strawberries, the worms, my roses as they grow.....and continuing on my not study....i am now at not anymore :byebye: |

The Elph I use when I want something quick or when I'm cycling (it's very light and easy for me to grab). The XSi is my dSLR and allows me to play and experiment with a variety of things. I'm thinking of perhaps investing (once in Cali) in a new all-purpose lens. The one I have is ok but I'm contemplating if a different one might serve me better (which one I don't know yet as I still need to research some more). |
Here is one of my favorite shots so far this year.

i'll be sorting through pics again very soon. i know i saw those images not too long ago. drop me a pm and leave either your email or you mailing addy (not sure if you guys have moved or not). i'd be more than happy to send along pics or make a nice print for you. i have a great lab i use here that does wonderful print work. |
Hey photo friends *waves to little man and Freckle K*
i have been on & offing my two lens lately and it's getting tiresome. Freckle's 55-200 is great and she has a knack of capturing awesome shots in zoom mode. i found that Sigma has a nifty all purpose lens (18-200) i am thinking of adding to my gear bag. (we have an annual photo show in two weeks, might be good deals there). But then i also had my eye on the Sigma 2.8 28-135 for portrait work. Decisions Decisions. No it's not about decisions, it's about $$$$ Have a fab day all. |
went to the butterfly house with my sister. images here.

I hear ya about the decisions vs $$$. Keep your eyes peeled; sometimes deals pop up when you least expect them. I wonder if there's a craigslist or swap meet style site specifically for used photo equipment.... When are we going to shoot again? That was fun!! |
