I've seen little comments/discussions here and there about people dabbling in photography.

Just wanted to get a roll call going, for fun.

I'm just getting back into things, and for the first time just got a D-SLR. Just entry-level Canon Rebel XT. Only have the kit lens and nifty-50...but I'm so un-impressed with the shots the kit gets, I rarely even have it on anymore.

Most immediate purchase will be a 70-200 or so, or maybe just a better quality 30-??? range replacement for the stocker.

I need to build a gallery sometime with my personal favorite shots I've had in the last 1.5 months with the camera...but I don't have much.

I like PP but am still learning it...use Adobe Photoshop CS2 (because it was bundled with my Production Studio Suite) and love it, I just don't know it much yet.

Let's see your stuff!

Ok, I can't resist...this is my ugly mug, but I'm just posting because I thought the snapshot was great (me goofing around while riding down the road with the GF...and it just fell into place when I PP'd it).

I'm calling Shenanigans.

I know we have more photogs out there.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-29-2007, 02:45 AM

my photography isn't abstract or anything. I don't do it professionally or for a Hobby - though, I should. I'm just good at it.

Was on our High Schools yearbook for 4 years...and 2600 people isn't anything to laugh at.

If I ever take a picture for kicks, I'll post it, I promise. but I don't have any that I can think of...sorry. That's why I didn't answer at first.

*TAG UR IT* · 07-29-2007, 02:50 AM

What kind of pix are we to post? I mean....I just kinda take pix...vacation, etc. But, I don't play w/ the pix at all...black and white or otherwise.

*Mindz* · 07-29-2007, 05:26 AM

My friend works photography for a living. She takes some amazing shots and is selling a ton of poster sized prints at the local pool hall. I do it for fun, but rarely have a camera with me.

*KILLER74Z28* · 07-30-2007, 12:51 AM

I have a Canon Rebel ESO (not digital) love it as a hobby.

The picture of your mug is awesome.

I like to mess around with photography from time to time. I just have a basic digital camera but my dad has a digital Rebel EOS which I use from time to time.

Here's a few recent pics that I took (Sorry about the size)...

MerF · 07-31-2007, 12:12 PM

Damn, I can't see them from work. I also did some PP last night of some snapshots of the GF and kids. One of which I'm extremely proud of. I was goofing around in RAW format and accidentally just hit a perfect tint for a postcard-like image.

Need to post it when I get home.

MerF · 07-31-2007, 07:37 PM

Ok, I see them now. Good stuff!

My latest project. This wasn't the PP I liked the most, but the GF loved the roses so I re-did them to keep their original color and de-saturate/tint the rest.

*TAG UR IT* · 07-31-2007, 08:21 PM

^That is a great picture! I'd lov eto learn how to do all that...make it black and white w/ color only here and there.

stevenm357 · 07-31-2007, 08:23 PM

VERY cool B&W with roses still colored that was awesome.

MerF · 07-31-2007, 08:40 PM

Thanks guys! I love doing it, I'm not the best but I get by.

acscamarochick06 · 08-01-2007, 12:21 AM

Yeah I have yet to figure out how the crap to color one thing and then make everything else BW! haha

*Mr. Wyndham* · 08-01-2007, 02:48 AM

The only way I could do it, is by selecting everything with the "lasso" tool. VERY Time consuming...

That is a very nice picture. It looks like something I'd see inside a Photography Studio in the waiting room. VERY NICE!!!
