Went and saw my Papa today. He just got out the V.A. hospital. Found out he has lung cancer. Different story than why I'm posting in this thread. Almost 80 yr old man. Just wants to live out his last few yrs in peace. Gonna finally retire.

But this is what he gave me today.

Yashica TL Super

http://mattsclassiccameras.com/yashica_tlsuper.html

This lens doesn't fit the mount. Not sure what mount is either one. Still reading on it.

The yellow filter is in a case that has a bunch of Japanese writing on it.

Not sure what this is

Film case that says Vietnam on it

Not sure what to do with it now except read up and learn film again. I think it's freaking awesome and glad I got it. Seams like a cool camera. Kinda dusty inside on the mirror. No dust inside the film compartment. Not sure if the shutter speed is correct. It seems a lil slow to me at 250+. I remember my old Nikon being kinda quiet and seemed alot faster sounding than this one. So did my dad's Minolta. I'll have it checked out when I get the funds to do so. Make sure it works properly.

Found the manual for it

[Off-topic] veeman:
Rent a van or hatchback and set up a tripod inside with the back lifted up.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
But building a rig is much cheaper, and if there is a bump the camera moves with the car. For video a Van would be perfect, but with photos you want the car sharp and the background blurred.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
Just attach the camera to the car using a rig, put the gear on neutral and get someone to push it for 5-10m . Remove the rig in Photoshop if its visible on the pic

Nikon D3100 with 18-55 VR kit

I Have Nikon D3100 with 18-55 VR kit.. and i love taking picture's outside.. and i'm not that pro and i dont know what gear's are the right weapons :silly: for my cam. but at the least moment (i don't have money :D ), what settings are the most set by pro? here in my cam(D3100)? i know it's 14.2 mp(not that best) but i want to know more about how to make it more amazing i mean is it tweaking's, bricking, rooting like a phone on our the cam or configuring the setting's because all i know is switching from auto to landscape mode.. that's what i do.. recently i've ask someone (let's say a pro gay) i asked him about this cam.. he said it's better to used RAW than jpeg. and i was confused? why was that? and then he didn't explain in it to me and how :rolleyes: , does the RAW should be convert it to something else to become a photo that can be uploaded to a web or can be easily accesed since it is a big file right?. can anybody suggest or tell me what's the best setting to configured on my Nikon D3100 with 18-55 VR kit and the used of RAW instead of JPEG.?

I know i asked too much about my camera in this thread and i think this is the best thread that i can shared my photography skills.. :D

[Off-topic] dexter93:
Hey there, welcome

the D3100 is a great camera and the 18-55VR is the ideal lens to start with. What you need to do, is first of all read your camera's manual. 14Mp is way more than you'll ever need - in fact, the occasions where you need more than 5 are rare. Start searching a bit on Manual mode and get to know the basic theoretics of photography. As for the RAW vs JPEG, RAW data comes straight from the sensor, while JPEG is compressed and pretty butchered :p. Thats why we usually shoot on RAW when we want to edit the image later.
[Off-topic] veeman:
Cyber shot should be fine for learning framing and such. If it has manual modes make sure to try them out. Then when you are ready, upgrade to a DSLR.
[Off-topic] loudlyace4:
Aww! that's it. thanks for the advice @dexter93 mind if i can ask, you said we will edit the image later right? what do you mean? by lowering, cropping, or compressing it. coz' i'm curious how about if you will upload it to web? i mean in Facebook etc.? since it's big file and not jpeg (not compressed right) what does pro like you do? do you use software's to compressed raw file to jpeg since it's very big file to be uploaded to websites and do you put something, like filtering, smoothing effect etc(in Adobe Photoshop) ?

Sorry I'm a Pro-Noob in Photography skills! Haha :silly:
[Off-topic] dexter93:
1.file gets captured from sensor to memory card 2. File gets transferred to PC 3. File is edited appropriately, using proper software if the author feels like it 4. Copy of the file is compressed/resised/saved as whatever you like. JPEG, PNG, etc etc

Only half part of the final image is the capture, the rest is editing

[Off-topic] jaszek:
I've done startrails before. My camera still works. Here is one of them. The trick is to take a lot of short time exposures and stack them. Much easier on the sensor.

Startrails 3 by Jaszek PL, on Flickr

Also, another beautiful timelapse. I want to go to dubai now.

[youtube]Frhqhdlw6HQ[/youtube]
[Off-topic] dexter93:
what do you mean short time exposures? like a minute?

wonderful startrail and really nice timelapse ;)

also im thinking to drop the tamron 18-200 for the 17-50... just for the startrails and its flexibility.... any opinions on any of these lenses? :D
[Off-topic] jaszek:
18-200 if a good overall lense. The aperture is not that great but good enough in good light. 17-50 is a f/2.8 lense, so much better for low light photos, also better image quality.

18-200 would be good enough for stars. When shooting stars I usually use an aperture around f/8. And Thats what i meant. shorter exposures of 30 seconds to 5 minutes, then just stack the photos in something like startrails.exe. One day when I'm bored I'll try to write a guide. If only I lived somewhere with much less light pollution, and wouldn't worry about stepping away more than 6 feet away from my camera.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
haha! i see your point jas, even here i am afraid of taking out my camera :eek: and that light pollution sucks. i cant even see the stars, how am i supposed to shoot them ? xD

about the lens, to be honest i find that 18-200 too heavy and ackward... (that magnesium alloy body of d7000 is heavy too.. so they combine to a quite heavy camera ). I dont think ill have problems with 17-50 in startrails... plus i love the low light conditions :D

i do think of 18-200 zoom range that it would be great for all around lens AAAAA! im getting mad :eek: cant really decide xD
[Off-topic] dexter93:

strategy... im swapping the tamron for the nikon 24mm and started saving for the 50mm :D

The camera had very little to do with those shots. You can do it with any camera that lets you do longer exposures. I literally ran around the cab with my flash and pressing the button to flash the car. For one of them I used a bike light to get more light on the car. It's called light painting, and even if your phone allows to do long exposures you can do it.

Hey jaszek, what do you think of the Canon 600D? Beginner DSLR with a great video mode. I like it. One thing I don't like is the grip, feels small. Guess that's cause it is, but other than that, I think it's pretty cool.
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
If I can offer one more bit of info....just be aware that the 600d doesn't have autofocus when shooting video. You either have to half-press the record button while recording every time you need to focus, OR, you simply try to keep your subject at the same distance from the lens as you shoot.

Its a good starter camera. I started with a 450D. And it is small, especially for us with big hands, but the battery grip kind of fixed that.
