I got to shoot a few frames with a D3 about a month ago. ISO 4000 on the D3 looks as good as ISO 400 on my D2X. I don't like going past 400 on my D2X.


Ditto with the D200. If you really get the exposure close, then it's usually bearable up to 800 if you promise yourself not to view the image full size. I was stuck shooting at high ISO at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Monday and I cringed with each shot. However, the results were pretty good.

You can see for yourself:

I'm hoping to buy a D3 before next wedding season. With fast glass and a D3, you could shoot by candle light.


Lucky guy!

Amateur that I am, I am very pleased with this shot. I shot with a $100 digital and used Gimp to put on canvas. I was trying to get a watercolor effect. Had to reduce the pix to get 914world to allow pasting.

Basically, anyone can take a great photo with any camera if they really try. Compose the scene you would like and then shoot a roll using different fstops. Make numbered notes of each frame. Anyone can learn to do anything anyone else does. It just takes practice.
Don't forget, the 1st cameras were just pin holes that captured the light of all those historical photos you have seen.

Nice work Todd

You and I have similar taste in photography. I love shooting nature and anything other than people, but people pay more generally (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

You got that right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm actually just north of Boring near 282nd and Orient. I tell people Boring because when you say "Gresham" they think "Rockwood"... I'm much closer to Boring than Gresham, but my address is Gresham. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm in the wrong county.

I like your frog. Brer probably does too. LOL

Most interesting photos are those nobody else bothers to shoot and the viewer uses their imagination to capture what the camera actually didn't.

I think Chux Davis (CD), a private member, should have shared a few in this thread too. He takes beautiful photos of nature and inanimate objects.
Lots of talent in all of the photos seen.
Thanks.

Here are a few of my favorites. I've had a Canon Digital Rebel for about 4 years now and have enjoyed every minute of it. I'm thinking of stepping up to the XTi before too long as it has some really nice features that mine doesn't.

Lens is either the 18-55 kit lens or a Sigma 75-300mm that I got cheap off of ebay.

You guys posted some great pictures. Very interesting subjects and composition.

This thread started just as I began looking for a DSLR. My first SLR was a Pentax K1000 back in 1980, I moved up to a Canon AE-1 and then to a A-1. Until recently I haven't look for a DSLR I just took the A-1 when a wanted to use something better than my wife's Sony digital point and shoot. I started reading reviews about the Nikon D40X, Canon Rebel XTI, Pentax K10D and Olympus E-510. All these cameras had their good points and some negatives. I was leaning toward the Canon hope my manual focus lens would work with the Rebel, they won't. But after talking with the local camera shop about the type of photos I was after, I decided on the Olympus E-510. It seems like its built good and will be a easy to use camera.

My background in photography is very casual, I had a couple photography classes in highschool and was a yearbook photographer. I diffinitely will enjoy having the instant feedback on how the picture looks instead of waiting for the film to be developed.

That was my first camera too. Do you remember what you paid for it? I got the full kit for around $125 way back in the late 70's.

The Olympus E-510 is a great camera for the price. I shoot with the 410 every day. Shooting sports at night games is challenging with these cameras as they don't do as well in low light but I still get the job done. You get the in-camera stability control with the 510. Although I must say that shooting with the e series cameras feels slightly unbalanced when shooting with a larger lens because the bodys are so light. I like the cameras and am going to get the E-3 when the Christmas rush is over. I hope to find someone with an overstock so I can shave a couple of hundred off of the price.

These were shot last night at the CCS Championship game with an Olympus E-410 at 1600 ISO and flash. The E-3 would have had dramatically better photos as it goes up to 3200 ISO. With 3200 I could have shot this game without a flash.

the one of the guy on the bus was caught in the middle of the street, pulling focus as it went by at about 30mph. tough trick but sometimes you get lucky. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
