I just bought a camera. These are my first (decent) photos. I'm hoping to get out and shoot some skateboarding soon - maybe go skate day that will happen. Post yours.

nice shots, what kind of camera did you get?
here are my photos: http://bleedblops.com/gallery
Very cool man.
I bought a Canon Rebel XTi
ahh that was my original infatuation... then i got a nikon d80 with a 18-135m nikkor lens. It's a bitch of a hobby to get into with its unforgivable wallet wear.
Indeed. I was fortunate that it was on sale this month - still burned a very large hole in my wallet though.
Not bad at all. I'd watch your exposures the pictures of the flowers are a little under.Originally Posted by lookingforgold
You probably have one but if you don't get a Skylight fliter as soon as possible, it's just a bit of clear glass that goes over the lens, better to crack a £15 filter than an expensive lens.

Hmm, how would I tell that a picture is going to be underexposed before looking at the larger version?/ how do i judge what kind of exposure to use? I know nothing.
Well, if you're using the manual function of the camera, the exposure would be effected by how much light you're letting into the camera as it takes the photo.
The more light you let in, the brighter, the less light you let in, the darker.
I believe it's controlled with the F stop? Correct me if I'm wrong. I have no clue how to control it on a Canon though.
you can control it with both F-Stop and Aperture priority
dang, those are some sick photo, so clear too. looks like a pro did them
I think I know how to change that - assuming the F-Stops are the F# part that is changed in the aperture priority function. what I'm trying to ask is if there is a way to judge what Fstop I should be using. It's kind of hard to tell on the tiny little display if a picture is exposed properly.
with time you can tell, also be aware of your ISO settings... the higher the ISO the more the likely you'll over expose. Just experiment and get to know your equipment. There is nothing set in stone it jsut all depends on the circumstances: camera, weather, lens, ext.
Aperture Priotiry is a must, you'll get more creative control espeially if your just starting out. Just a thought if you're having problems with exposures try using bracketing, basically you take your shot then take another a half stop under and another a half stop over. You do this by using the aperture ring on the lens, though with your flash digital SLR there's probably a setting that'll make the camera do it automatically.
Stick with it lookingforgold you show promise, you certainly have a good eye for composition, rule of thirds and all that.

Mostly skate photos.
I've taken 80% of the photos on that site including the ones in the first entry. Check it out.
All the entries that end with '-Chris' (or Marc) is written by me.

Why thank you, Mrs. Corrine
Today was awesome. Got some pretty sick shots and had some fun skating.
Anyone know the rules of putting up pictures of kids you don't know/ didn't ask to take a picture of?
That's the beauty of having a digital camara, back in the day people had to learn that after each development. Now you can just take a photo, look at it, and adjust the aperture accordingly.
A brief explanation on apeture.
Apeture and shutter speed go hand in hand to create a well exposed photo. If you're using aperture priority the camera will take care of the shutter speed leaving you to control what is known as depth of field. Without getting too tehnical it controls what is in focus and what isn't.
The smaller the aperture number the less of the image will be in focus the higer the number more of the image will be in focus, the trade off being that the shutter speed will decrease or inrease dependent on the aperture.
For example if your taking a photo of a moving object i.e. skateboarding you are going to need a fast shutter speed the chances are that you're going to focus on the skater not the background so a small aperture would be used. If you were taking a photo of a landsape you'd want the entire scene in focus so a highe aperture number would be used though your shutter speed would increase.

Yo is that ur studio? u got any music?
yessir, here is some stuff i've been workin on for my soapskumm release:
http://soapskumm.bleedblops.com/mp3
3 new photos I've recently taken:
Hey Mac, that first one is really good, I'd like to see that framed, a really emotive shot, it suggests action and freedom.
With the other two I'd of moved around a bit to make the background less cluttered.
As I said before Mac, you have a real talent for it. If you want any of your stuff printing, I manage a photo lab and will do you stuff for free (and the p&p) PM me if you're intrested.

very nice MAC, jk Mac, really like the first one.
My first decent panorama shot ever.
Burning Sky.
Some cool photos, I like the building and the record.
The flower pictures however need more focus on the flower itself and more of a blur in the backround.

I've added some pictures from a car show I went to today and will probably add a few more from some others later on. Criticism is always welcome; constructive or otherwise.
Also, does anyone know any good books I could read to learn more about photography?
I just returned from Croatia at about 3.30am. Phew, 2 weeks. MAN I'm glad to be home again.
I've got about 150+ pictures from the trip, I gotta sort them all out and upload the good ones to Deviantart.
BUMB!
Just wanted to show a new photo
Ooh nice one Mac. Nicely exposed, nice composition, I can see that being used for an album cover or something.

this camera talk is confusing!
Why thank you. And yeah, I'm kinda satisfied with it.
BUMB!
Just wanted to show a new photo
loooooksss sick
Can someone give me some tips for live photography? Basically I don't want to take my camera to show, risk it's life and have everything look like garbage.
Nice shots.

Alright well I ended up just going for it with the live photography thing last night...check out my blog for hi-res pics where you can see all the lame noise...or you can check out this cool flash gallery on my website that doesn't totally work:

Purchased a few new lenses:
Tokina 100mm 2.8
Nikkor 50mm 1.8D
Nikkor 35mm 2.0D
Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 - Should be getting this by Monday
Here are some shots, mostly with the 35mm
