Yeah, I'm always jealous of people who have access to swanky places like that. I think I'm going to go photograph some of the offices around here. They were mostly built in the 60s and 70s and feature lots of yellow wall paper and rusty radiators. I think it might even turn out cool.

Well, to be fair these are sales sites and the only reason I'm out there is because they've recently updated the buildings. Believe me, the company in question has its fair share of rundown offices.

So I bought a 580 EX this afternoon (1 year no interest financing!) and bought what I thought was a NIMH charger with 4 AA batteries, but it turned out to be 2 AA and 2 AAA (those cocksuckers did that on purpose) so I head back out to the store to pick up some more AAs and while I'm there I get to talking on the phone with my mom so instead of just rushing in and grabbing the batteries I wander around the store for a while and I eventually end up in the clearance section and sitting in the pile of camera crap (mostly P&S junk) is a Canon 100mm 2.8 marked at $455 because it's been returned and I think "gee, I know I get a good employee discount on clearance poo poo" so I ask how much it is and she tells me there's no employee discount but there is a big banner ad sitting over the cart that says all items are an additional 20% off so I have her look up why it was returned and the person who bought it said it took photos too far away (I'm guessing it was sold to a first year photography student along with her Rebel, whatever, salesman should have known better) so I open it up and look at it and it doesn't have so much as a smudge on it, so all in all I got a brand new 100mm 2.8 for $380 after tax. Wooooooooooooooooooooh.

We were talking about photography blogs a while back. I follow quite a few, but today I discovered this gem. It's pretty Leica-centric, but applies to the discipline and the camera industry in general too, and it's all very interesting and fastidiously detailed.

This is insane, Kuwait bans DSLR, SLR status unkown. http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MzAwMTg4ODg1 Carrying a SLR sometimes causes raise a few eyebrows to perk up. People tend to think "oh he's THAT guy" but to associate a kit lens as a lethal weapon is a bit too much.

That's straight up scam. There is like a zero percent chance there is a camera at the other end of that listing  To be fair, there might be a broken Nikon D90 body with some kind of Canon sensor glued to the shutter. That I'd believe.

This is a bit of a long shot, and I fear I know the answer, but is it possible to filter out certain photos on Flickr based on keyword? I really hate the amount of poo poo HDR on that site and, if I were able to filter it out, it'd make my Flickr 'experience' a lot better.

Cross_ posted:Oh Craigslist My buddy actually got a free* 5D and one of the longer L lenses when he joined me to check out a Craigslist ad. I was there buying about a hundred bucks worth of P/K and M42 stuff (two bodies, eight lenses, fifty rolls of film - it ruled.) After I paid for that stuff, I saw the seller's 5D sitting on the bookshelf and said "Hey, a 5D? Nice." She told us the tale of how she'd been shooting seascapes with it when a big wave knocked her into the ocean, so now it was pretty much a paperweight that would be too expensive to get repaired. Then she just gave us the salty, gritty thing for the hell of it. The body seems pretty well hosed, the lens still works in manual. Makes a horrible grinding sound from all the sand inside the barrel, but my buddy has managed to get some use out of it and the glass is pretty much fine.

Martytoof posted:*does D200 green button reset* To buddy: "Hey ha ha it would be funny if I reset this thing but I forgot to change some stupid setting and all my photos come out looking like poo poo, huh? I look at my LCD after every single shot unless I'm trying to get action shots and I don't have time to check in between shots. Going an entire afternoon without ever looking blows my mind. I can't imagine ever being that confident, but I'm still a huge newbie so maybe that comes with experience.

Yeah, normally I'm like that too. I have no idea why I felt so confident today. Needless to say I turned image review back on. gently caress battery life. Getting 100 usable shots is better than getting 200 overexposed photos. I might turn image review back off, but just try to remember to hit playback after the first few shots of changing settings. Goddamn.

Image review is a funny thing.. whenever I shut it off, I miss having it on, and whenever it's on, I curse at the camera for not hurrying up and putting the exposure settings back up. I think the only reasonable solution is a camera with two screens!

Martytoof posted:*remembers on the train ride home that his D200 incorrectly meters +2/3EV with his Sigma 30 1.4 and green button reset the custom -0.7EV adjustment* This is the reason why the green resets on Nikons are almost never a good idea. Just change what you want to change manually, it's not that hard. Edit: spog posted:Why the hell does it do that? It's trying to be helpful. Ken Rockwell explains: Ken Rockwell posted:I reset everything every time I use my camera, much as a pilot uses a checklist before flight to prevent any switches from being in the wrong position. When I don't check first, I often have left my D200 in some screwy mode from shooting in the dark the night before. Except he's stupid because it obviously affects settings, including IQ options (it resets RAW back to JPEG and ISO back to Auto ISO), and it messes with custom functions. Long story short, Ken Rockwell should be avoided. Mannequin fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Nov 28, 2010 |

I'm just now coming around to this realization. I mean I don't even know why I did the reset.

The car looks horrendously out-of-focus So how did you guys get into photography anyway? I bought my XT a year ago on a whim from a goon (UGAmazing, to be exact) and didn't do anything with it for four months until I picked it up randomly one day and went shooting. Then I started reading up on shutter speed/aperture/ISO, and from there it quickly became into this obsession I have today.
