New Toys - darkpuppet - 07-26-2009 decided to put some of my OT cash towards a few toys... more pics to follow, I'm sure. New Toys - NikiterZTS - 07-26-2009 ......oh.........i thought its gonna be car toys nice camera i guess New Toys - darkpuppet - 07-26-2009 some quick pics with the 50mm lense -- all on auto. too bad I have to do work.. but maybe have some more proper pics later. New Toys - NefCanuck - 07-26-2009 Nice shots with the camera... I like :) NefCanuck New Toys - FocusGuy7476 - 07-26-2009 nice choice in camera, I almost picked up a D90 in May but needed some car parts instead. I will be buying one within a year. New Toys - castone - 07-26-2009 Very nice buy! I picked up a D60 the other week, and love it. need to save some more and buy a few more add ons. New Toys - NikiterZTS - 07-26-2009 time for the rollin' shots! New Toys - reldridge - 07-26-2009 I'm jealous. :) Nice to see somebody shooting with a prime! I never realized how much you could do with a prime until I shot for two weeks with an old Nikon N2000 (film, oh my!) and a 50mm 1.8. My wife couldn't believe how good the pics looked. New Toys - darkpuppet - 07-27-2009 yeah..there's tonnes of stuff you can do with a prime.. it's a great all-round lense. I picked up an f1.4 50mm prime, but because my camera isn't a full-framed DSL, it's an equivalent 75mm lense... so it's not as wide angled as I would prefer...but the 50mm lense was $350, and a proper 1.4F 35mm lense would be about $900. -- I figured for the times I want a wider angle, the kit lense should suffice. If I find a need for one, I'll get a 1.4F 35 later on. I haven't even put the kit lense on the camera yet.... some more 50mm shots.. once again, mostly auto -- flash and focus points manually set. New Toys - darkpuppet - 07-27-2009 tried simple HDR from a single (underexposed) RAW file... not happy with all the grain.. next one, i'll pull out the stops and use bracketing like I should. New Toys - NOS2Go4Me - 07-28-2009 Nice setup, Steve! I'm hoping to trade in the D50 before Christmas myself. Yeah, the prime issue is because we're all DX crop-framed sensors till you get to the FX-series full-frame sensors. That's starting at $1700 if memory serves and works its way up to almost 5 digits if you stay with Nikon. I will be. It's good to see you have some basic UV-cancelling filters already. Decent tripods for hobbyists start around 50-70 bucks at most camera shops, complete with bubble levels. Also, I can let you know what parts you'll need to use a telescope as a prime lens (F-ring and eyepiece adapter). Equatorial-mount telescopes are recommended :) New Toys - darkpuppet - 07-28-2009 just ordered a remote since the camera can't take sets of bracketed shots while on timer -- something canon's can do. |
