Well thanks for the heads up, my bro is a web design genius and he has his own server, I'll talk to him about this, and if I have to buy a server, he'll be able to program it easily.



Edit: Oh, my camera came in today! AIWHFIOHAI@(%&@)(%WIFH652135435235%##%F

 

nice, post up some pics that you take later with your set up.

 

wow finally. congratulations. always nice to get new toys. now show us what you can do with this camera.

 

Sure, I'm still learning a lot of things with this camera. It's fun to take pics I'll tell you that, I tried taking some pictures outside of flowers, but stupid weather, started to rain. I'm having some trouble with macro/sigma lens, the 50mm f/1.8 seriously, has some AMAZING portrait photos, I just took random shots of my mom/brother and they came out....beautiful. I took a couple of shots, lemme resize/photobucket them and I'll add, be easy I'm still new.

All of them are just test shots, but the last one was of a flower in my backyard, so I took a couple of those with the...kit lens I THINK, and edited it a little.

 

macro photography requires a tripod and perfect focusing (manual prefered).

 

Cool...I definitely need a tripod and need to learn this camera. I'm still a noob. I wanted to ask, when I have the flash open, say it's in Auto. I aim at something, and SOMETIMES before taking the shot or giving me the beep to take the shot, the flash goes crazy, it flashes like 3-4 times REALLY quick and says Busy on the screen? WTF is that?

 

obviously it's all about the eye of the photographer. a great concept w/ a hand made box/pin hole camera, holga camera or lomo cam will result in a sweet photo.

that said i would def recommend canon or nikon.
canon pro mkII or prosumer - 20D/30D
nikon pro D1H or prosumer - d200/d300
get a simple fixed lens of the same brand and then work your way into nicer lenses. the quality of these two systems at the mid to higher level is the best out there. you will notice it in the color/grain/sharpness and contrast.

i'm waiting for a full-frame d400 nikon

 

you probably have the flash set at red eye reduction. usually when flashing so many times, the human eye closes which reduces the red eye from the eye being so open. try to take it off red eye thing.

bring your camera at the next meet and i can walk you through a few things. love to help.

 

i am going to buy the D3 since it is a full frame FX which is actually better than what Canon has with their full frame.

 

this is my one and only favorite camera. it is a 1920 4x5 single sheet camera. 100% manual everything even without a metering system.

 

Hmmm...That IS the problem, It started doing that when I turned red-eye ON. Now I turned it OFF, but it still does it in Manual and Auto Mode?

 

read the manual, cover to cover, and in all languages.
