mipanda Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 its a coal power station, so I think (hope) thats steam, not smoke it was just a remarkably non-windy day so the steam clouds got huge instead of blowing away! & I adore that song. am actually friends with the drummer & his gf but he quit not long ago because apparently some of the other guys were dicks such a shame, best new stuff I've heard in forever.

polythenelucy Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) I love those beach photos! something about the sand in focus and the blurred rainbow umbrella... nice photo, mipanda! just think it could use a tighter crop. I'm a big fan of backlit clouds and plumes though I'm pretty sure coal-fired plant plumes are toxic Edited August 2, 2013 by polythenelucy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacklambo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 These are some of my photos. I own a Canon 60D. It's a good camera it's not a 5D like crazybobbles'. But it's good enough. I've just got the standard 18-55 and 55-250 lenses. I've got the 430Ex II and the battery grip. I still do pretty good http://www.flickr.com/photos/96750600@N06/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mipanda Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 hay guise I was just thinking years ago we used to pick a photo & then all do our own version of it. Like um, bare feet on grass next to shoes. Or a loveheart drawn on your fingertip. Maybe that could be something fun to bring back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hay guyz, Tomorrow the bf is going to buy a Canon 7D and he's been wondering what lens to best accompany it. He takes a lot of action cycling shots and landscapes for his website. What do you guys think would be appropriate for that type of shooting? ps, neither of us know a huge deal about photography, it's an investment for their website. At the moment they use a point and shoot Sony and they find the photos can be washed out and grainy An example of the photos they take: http://www.cycleatlas.com/1/post/2013/07/zumsteins-halls-gap-australia-73km-red.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the latter and it does amazing wide shots. It's extreme wide so is perfect for sporty shots of cycling dudes flexing their tightly packed muscle flesh.

ninja Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks so much Bob! Really appreciate it. will report back on what they decide (whether the camera guy manages to sell us other shit) out photog friend suggested 25-105mm I'm kinda confused. When it has a range that large, will it still be able to do wide angle shots? Cause I've done a bit of reading and now understand what lens is what, but what happens when it has a range like that? Also, not looking for it now, but what would you guys recommend as a good general everyday lens for beginners? We want to start learning how to take lovely photos Edited August 9, 2013 by ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to start learning how to take lovely photos 24-105mm is neat too and has IS but not as wide, we are talking about crazy barrel distortion wide. You do however have more tele on the 24-105 but I don't think 24 is wide enough especially when it's a cropped sensor, 24 on full frame is nice (consider a 5d mark 2 or even 6d if you want full frame, they even come with good everyday lenses (24-70 or 34-105) Best lens to start with is a prime 50mm lens. Mainly because the limitation of focal length encourages creativity (which is why I'm rocking a fixed 23mm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybobbles Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ok some extra reading on the lens, sadly 17-40 isn't good for crop, amazing for full frame but not crop. Consider a 5 or 6d, full frame allows you to do proper wide shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zilcho Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 On a 7D you might want to get a 30 mm, for instance the Sigma 1.4 (or you could get the 35 mm 1.4, since you could later use it on a full frame camera if you decide to get one).

If I were to do it again I'd go straight to full frame to avoid the whole need for future proofing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
