Edit: From reports I've heard, I mean.

holy crap that's ridiculous. What's it for?

Yeah, but it's got the Canon name on it, so it's more expensive than it should be. I think basically it's a telescope with a camera mount on it.

Hey why don't you just do this initial work for free, I'm sure it will lead to big things.

Everyone should read the entire "Everything New Sucks" just since it's the single greatest Dorkroom troll we'll ever experience but the digital camera section was too good not to highlight:


Gerddamn digital cameras not takin the pictures when I tell em to and forgetting the memory card. Gerddamn menus too complicated THE NINETEEN EIGHTIES i tell ya

This is insane and awesome!



It's a whole collection of old photos taken while put back into the scene, if that makes sense. Check it out.


I think my favorite is this one:

So I think I need to start carrying a step ladder with me or get platform shoes because I am just too short. I'm at 5'4" and the people I photograph who are taller than me I catch a weird lower angle. I'm not quite eye level, when I happen to get to a taller vantage, I think the photo comes out better.

Do those Nokia phones have actual shutters or do they use the same like, line rendering sensors that other phones use?

I've always wondered why they didn't make one of the 2.8 zooms faster at the wide end. Ok, maybe they'd be less sharp, but if you stopped down would it correct this while still having the option of shooting at wider apertures when needed?

I agree with this.

After all, fun though you guys are, if we dont get fresh blood, we'll end up like one of SA's weird sub-forums.

Or worse, like a typical photography forum.

My "Canon PowerShot SD4000IS 10 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 3.8x Optical Zoom and f/2.0 Lens (Black)" is set for delivery today. Which means I'll get home, have a "we tried to deliver" note, sign the form, and they'll deliver it tomorrow.

Still, pretty psyched to have a good P&S again. The wife never ever takes pictures because she hates using the big camera.

I assume it has something to do with the ancient sensors being about the size of a frame of 8mm movie film.

I'm getting a G11 and I'm more psyched than when I got my 5D. I think it's because it means mobility and fun, whereas the 5D represents seriousness and hard work, haha.

A question, if you'd care to answer, please...
The cameras I regularly use for shooting spoiled, ugly, demented, mutant children and their ignorant hairy John Wayne lookalike mothers are kept ready to transport, near my front door. But I've a few other cameras - all film - along with other associated bits and pieces. Right now some are in boxes or their cases, with a few here and there around the flat. So my question to you is: where do you keep your cameras?
In a cupboard/drawer? On shelves? Got them in some sort of display cabinet or something? I'm not sure if I like the latter idea or not, as perhaps it's a bit "Admire at my cameras and make comments!"?

Martytoof posted:

I couldn't tell what kind of camera that was, but don't the prosumer and up bodies have some level of basic splashproofing? Not even waterproofing, but maybe it was enough to keep the water from sloshing in and around the card area too badly.

I'd be willing to bet that the card was OK.

Unless it took some water while writing or something, then bye bye birdie.

Saw this on a friend's Facebook today. Jamie Livingston shot a photo a day for 18 years until he died. Nearly every day from 1979 to 1997, chronicled via Polaroid.

I just bought an auto-focus lens for my D3s because I felt silly having all these focus points and never ever ever ever being able to do anything with them and oh god it's good i'm a little weak at the knees. It's only a 28m F/2.8.

I'm never going to buy another big lens again, though. Only little primes for me. Unless I change my mind, and I'll have to hunt down this post and delete it so I don't look wishy-washy.
