I got instagram for ****s and giggles. It pisses off iPhone users since it's on android now lol. And I'm pretty sure knowing how to shoot makes no difference if it's film or digital. I still use manual controls for shooting, and just the medium is different. I'll bet you wouldn't want to shoot a poorly lit concert with a film camera.

Noob question the higher the ISO the faster the shutter?

Sent from the brick
[Off-topic] jaszek:
The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the sensor/film is, which in turn allows you to use higher shutter speeds but also introduces more noise/grain.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
I really like grain... and found the best one: Rollei100 pushed 3 stops. its fcking awesome! with the contrast i want :cool:

Sounds like a reasonable price, but I know how you feel.:eek:

That's about what I paid for my Canon xha1 video camera back in 2008...I look at the 5d m3 and it's leaps and bounds more bang for the Buck. Sold my xha1 in mint condition in 2010 for only $2300. It hurt to know how much some cameras lose value. In your case though, you should get years out if it, and with a few jobs, it can be paid for in no time.

YEa, I'll have it for a few years. the 7D I have is running strong for almost 2 years and 2 continents, 4 different countries and 3 different airports, twice in each. lol

What I like in the 5D, since you mentioned video cameras, is that it has a headphone port. I missed that on the 7D. So now with the external mic I have I have no need for an external recorder. And I can't wait to shoot the show tomorrow. I'm thinking weather I should take my flash or not. lol
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
Headphones arg....that's what I miss. I opted to scale down to something more stealthy, so I got the OG Lumix GH1, mainly for the unlimited lens choices (2x crop though), and I was an early adopter of the firmware hack...I've had it for almost 3 years now, and its such a little champ.

The vocalist is considered as one of the best if not the best vocalist in Poland. If they got the same fame in US as they did in Poland, he would be the Freddie Mercury or Kurt Cobain of blues.

This was a little bit over an hour. I have no idea how many per minute, but i think it was about 30/min. I'd have to check the EXIF but my PC is off. I had it on Auto Aperture mode so didn't pay attention to the shutter speed, bu I think it was 2 second exposures with 1 seconds inbetween.

all of them unedited.... (still got to learn how to use lightroom :rolleyes:)
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Great work dude! I'm a big fan of black and white shots when they're done well, and i loved some of yours. A couple of the tree shots work well including the one with the sun seen through the canopy.

It's great being able to develop your own shots, especially now that the practice is largely redundant. My father, a keen amateur, used to have a darkroom to develop his own work. He had a couple of pictures taken using infrared film and developed himself that were really good.

Of course, being an old school photographer he'd approve of your images remaining un-edited and unadulterated. The art being in the taking of the shot, not in the editing of it afterwards. I would have to agree!
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:

Max. (From my Galaxy 2)
[Off-topic] jaszek:
That timelapse is awesome

And as for you photos, pretty good, but your horizons can use a bit of straightening. And lightroom is not that difficult to use ;-)

And @Dirk

I think leaving unedited photos is like not finishing the job. I really don't like it when people say editing destroys the art of photography. There almost always has to be some editing done. Also I hate people who hate digital editing, and that they couldn't do that with film. Umm guess where the name 'Lightroom' came from. Here is an example from the Soviet Era where Stalin wanted to get rid of a guy from a photograph (and I know the history behind it, it because Stalin had him executed and all of his traces erased so no one would know he was ever alive, but the original film was found and thats where the shot is) And guess what, today they would use the clone tool for that.

Here is another one.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
Well, imagine that this was the first true b&w film i ever shot(did shoot a couple chromogenics before, but they dont count).. and it developed it myself with no much practise... only 1 film.:D it was easier than i expected, to be honest.

xD you really shouldnt had mentioned IR photography xD i really want to try :rolleyes:

Glad to hear your father was a photographer(even amateur). How come you are in the digital side? Ever had "contact" with the analogue?:p tell ur father im jelly about that Infrared pics :D

regarding the un-edited photos... i believe too that the art is in taking the shot, but you can do miracles in the darkroom afterwards..( pretty much the same you can with photoshop, but with chemicals, papers, magnifiers, safety lights and literally hours of editing ;) )..

Technically, the phones can't have a "macro setting". Macro means 1:1 magnification. That means whatever you are shooting is the same size as if places directly on the sensor. So macro depends on the lense only.

ALso regarding the MPs. 10MPs is enough to print a 20X30 photo at 300dpi. Trust me I did it. If you want proof, for the low price of $30 you can get that print. lol

I hate the fact the 5D3 has 22MPs, and I hated my 7D with 18MPs. The 40D was perfect with 10MP, and 12MP wasn't bad either on my XSi.

Wish the guests taking photos at my wedding understood that.

My cousin used my 40D, I'd set it to shoot raw, sent it to her 2 weeks earlier to get used to it and when she hands it to me so I can set up a couple of shots she's got it in creative mode! Taking pictures of people? Ooo best have it set to the face setting then! So, lots of small jpegs, low ISO so blurry hands, and red eye at the disco from using the pop up flash rather than the flashgun that goes with the camera.

Thankfully there are a few decent shots, and I'm glad I noticed as I did a couple of group shots on a tripod/timer, which I've had printed as a 20x8 panoramic for my grandmother (just need to find a decent frame).

Now my dad on the other hand refused to use my 14mp canon compact (sx220 if memory serves) preferring to use his ancient compact. OK I thought, pretty sure it's 5mp so should get some decent sized shots, but no, it's only 2mp! Fine for looking at on the screen, but I wanted to use the photos in an A4 photo book.
