Dancing Dude went for a walk, took some pictures, what do you think?

so i went for a walk, took some pictures to test out how well my camera would take pics at night. i think they came out pretty good. any suggestions for taking pictures to make them come out clearer? the exif is in the photos if you're interested. anyway, what do you guys think of the pictures

Camera works fine. Pics are kinda bland and boring, though.

Nice! Do you have a night setting? OOO you inspire me. I'm going to take some (more) pics I love the night setting we'll see what happens.

they are, there wasny much to take pictures of. i really want to figure out how to change the exposure time. only other thing is that some images appear noisy when i take closeups, i think thats just the ISO speed though.

the thread from the other night got me wanting to test out the night setting, the last four pictures were taking using the night setting

i plan on getting one soon, several of the shots i had to set the camera down and use the self timer or they were horribly distored

Damn it! It's raining.

what kind of settings do you use for a macro like that? i've tried severl maco shots before, they always come out with noise on them? might it just be the camera im using? im using a DXG-409


Posted by Chris Crossland on May-18-2006 05:07:

I have to do alot of fine tuning with my cam to get real close up...

I think those first three sky shots could have been killer at a different location without all the city crap like powerlines. Maybe from a bridge or something. I'd bring a tripod if you have one. The only other options are the bump up the iso or use a lens with image stabilization but that only helps in moderately low light. In dark the shutter speed still isn't fast enough for the IS to get clear shots.

Heres couple macros I took yesterday in my kitchen

Awesome! You got spidys in your kitchen haha.

I'm lucky they were just the size of my thumbnail. After living in the south I'll take small spiders over roaches any day!

There is a guy in the NYTA pictures forum, bloodflower than takes some killer pics. Might be worth a looksee when bored.

Yeah. Being an NYTA myself, I look forward to his posts all the time.

I use a Canon 350D. Broke down in december and bought a couple grand worth of gear which doesn't add up to much. Shit is so expensive. Got myself a EF100 f2.8 macro lens and an EF 50mm f/2.8. Both are primes so limited but razor clear when u see the full size photos. I used to use a Canon G3, which takes awesome photos but it is just too slow to capture photos at the speed I want. I still use it for vacations though.

Looking right now at the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 and the Canon EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 IS as my walkaround zoom lenses. Thats like another $1000+ though so ouch.

How bout yourself?

I swear his last two, that frog and that other one were like something that should be on the cover of a magazine.

I'm looking to drop some $$$$ for a good camera pretty soon. I have about a grand to spend. Just need to look more into cameras cause im not sure whats the best.

sorry marco what?





and my favorite and most masochistic picture i've ever taken...




yeah macro's about all my camera's good for
slow as fuck and clunky controls, but when you're shooting something specific and want it perfect, it fuckin rocks


Posted by mezzir on May-18-2006 06:27:
