The PHOTOGRAPHY Thread

Do we have one? If not, I'd like to start one...

Getting a Canon Rebel XS or Nikon D60 this weekend. Not sure which but it'll be my first DSLR.

In the meantime, I have a Nikon Coolpix, 6.0 MP that I've been using. Simple point and shoot but I've gotten some nice photos out of it.

Here are some that I took today along the Mississippi on my bike ride. It was a beautiful day.







I'll try to keep this thread updated with the photos I take over the course of the year. Enjoy.

This thread would get lots more traffic if the pictures were of hawt women instead of dirty water. Just sayin...

I have a Canon Rebel (in film) and then a Canon digital (not sure of the model). My avatar is a picture I took over the summer at the beach with my Rebel.

After looking at those photos that I posted... my little Nikon seems to have solved it's problems. Every picture I took used to come out blurry as a mo-fo. No matter what the settings.

The wife and I own a photography business. We shoot cannon but have friends that shoot nikon....Nikons are generally cheaper I think, but canons are the standard.

I bought a Nikon D60 on Friday. I've been playing with it ever since. I wish it wasn't so darn cold out...

I ordered a couple of prints from the photos I posted above from Shutterfly.com. Gonna create a portfolio. I've already had two inquiries on photographing weddings. I figure that could be an easy second source of income. I'm doing one for free as a wedding gift, though.

Three photos I took today. Overcast skies and I think it's raining out now.

Here's a bump...

For those of you interested, here's my Flickr Photostream.

Sifted through 300 photos I took on Friday, kept 76 of them. I still have 385 from Saturday to go through tonight and tomorrow. Enjoy.







More to come.
