I ran into a photo blog with some crazy fools. They were spending a few days at a time out on the mothball fleet. Then was out on the Concord naval weapons station and Vandenburg afb. Among other places. Sick photos. Just not sure its worth the crime. They would seek in at night. Work at night. Then hide out sleeping by day. Most the time spending 2-3 days per trip.

 

so where are the photos then??

Wow that's really cool. I don't think I have the ***** to do it though lol.

 

Funny part was when the light shone on them when they were leaving,probly pooping bricks and it happened twice!!

Picked up the new Nikon 85mm 1.8 also today,I'll post some pick when I get back home tomorrow.had to let to of the Rokinon lens,mf is just not for me

 

It's the 85mm 1.8G right? How do you like it so far?

I still really want the Sigma 85mm 1.4 or if I can get my hands on a [cheap] used Nikon 85mm 1.4G.

 

Loving it!!well mostly because of the AF,pretty quick!!a bit lighter and smaller than the 1.4 which makes it easier to lug around.did I forget to tell you I finally traded my d7k for the d700

 

lucky! I see them for sale now for about $1700. Too bad I used most of my money on my coilovers.

 

If you guys promise not to poke fun and laugh AT me, Id like to join in and learn so Im not just another "photographer" with another digital camera.

Heres the test to see if I will be laughed out of here or not... my camera is the Canon T1i

Old Guy and I have shot together (the light painting of our cars back in Sep) so Id like to get to the semi pro level but to be honest I dont have the faintest idea where to start.

Ive been told I have a good eye for shots... but when it comes to the technical jargon and all the settings... Im a noob as a noob can get.

 

Even the pics make me scared! How did you endure that?

I tip my hat to you sir.

 

Also, Id really like to get and learn to use a software for editing as I would love to start getting my pictures out there for friends and family to see and maybe hopefully one day make a $1 or $2.

Just goofing around:

 

I too would like too learn so I'm not another guy with an expensive camera.

T1i is great for a starting camera IMO.

As a highschooler, I have found that having different spectrums of projects (Landscape, Urban Landscape, Car photography, Toys, Night photo, etc.) are good to find out how to do multiple types of photography. Due to this, I have a better sense of what makes a good pic, and how to set it up (Angle, lighting), however, I am still no expert, or pro. Still a progression.

If you go on Youtube, you can find How To's on editting photos. Like sometimes, I will forget what my digital Photography teacher has told me how to edit a photograph a certain way, so i just hop on youtube and get my answers there.

BTW, Pic looks good! However, I would personally drop the Whites down a bit.

 

@jac wagon canon??

ok now thats out of the way im the same with ya i picked up a nikon d50 and just started shooting with it.just played with the settings as i go and read up on forums for tips and tricks.i didnt really get pushed to learn more till i upgraded to the d7000,it showed me that theres still soo many things you can learn and have fun with.
