1st car i bought was an alfa milano for $2500.

how do i justify buying a 7k camera... damn thing makes me nut.

i'd take more breath taking pictures like this:

the camera does not make the photographer.

it helps... but in the end, you gotta know what you're doing.

i contemplated getting the 1Ds MkII also. but then again, i look when the last time i took out my 10D and reality hit me... lol...

 

the other day on the speed channel, there was talk about a $22,000 23 megapixel camera...goodness

 

ya, i never really took the time to "learn" the camera.

i have to 300D i've been using for about a year now... then my cousin suggested I get a lens

my camera:



my 1 lens:


its really amazing what a difference that lens made.

but now my 300d is having issues... i think it must have been dropped 1 too many times... and there's a flap inside... anyways... the shutter is not functioning properly... it sometimes gets stock open... and a part of the shutter is getting "hung" and its blocking the pix:

example:


but sometimes it actually works:
(this is the last working shot)


fixable u think? that's why i started looking around for a replacement and found that ridiculously priced "box only" camera

the 1Ds Mk II is pretty old. rumors are that new models are coming.

 

you seem like you know what you are talking about...

why is it important to have high ISO, i always get jacked pictures whenever I get my ISO higher than say 200+... like, really crappy pix turns out.

i take mostly standing shots of cars...

that is a hot camera but too pricy. i bet 1 year and that one will be 1K

 

put on a few pounds eh joe?

 

canon showed a 1Dsn with a built-in WIFI last month as CES...

but otherwise, no big changes... well until the big show in april... that's when canon usually introduce the new models.

 

you're just adding more noise as you raise the ISO value. back in the old film days, you buy film with specific ISO numbers. or we would raise the ISO to bump up the exposure by 1 or 2 stops.

buy a "fast" prime lens:

buy a great steady tripod does wonders for stills. maybe even a remote sutter.

 

The higher your ISO, the less light you will need for a good exposure, but the more grainy your shots will be. If you have enough light, shoot at the lowest ISO you can. If you don't have a tripod and don't want to use the flash, sometimes you have to up the ISO and live with the results. Photoshop plugins like Noise Ninja help get rid of some of the high iso nastyness.


or so i've heard..

 

actually, i meant that some people just have "the eye"... personally, i have the artistic capability of a caveman (no offense to other caveman out there...)... lol

yes... yes they do... the canon L glass are the tops. and in this case, you get what you pay for.

if you are still under warranty, send it out.

if not, take the lens out. look inside and see if something can be done.

 

Damn joe is teh baller!

Hey joe you should find some wimmenz to model next to the shop cars rocking the rotas
