OSRep Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Extremely beautiful.......the photos ooze elegance! Is that light coming from the lamp in the photo? I have seen some of your work - amazing esp the "sunday close ups". Im currently using a Canon Ixus compact, considering a DSLR soon, been looking at the Canon 500D, Nikon 5000D or Pentax Kx (same sort of specs and proce ranges).......any advice as a professional?

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 The light is from a Bowens 500ws monolight through a 3'x4' softbox powered with a Vagabond II. I only know about Olympus and Nikon cameras extensively. I wouldn't buy a D5000, period (or a D40, D60, nor the D3000). It's easier to inform based on a budget than throw out suggestions. I shoot a D200 which can be had for $650 on a good day, but my lenses are $900+ each (except the Tamron 90mm macro). A Nikon D70s is still a great camera, the Canon 40D is a good camera as well. My next body will be a D3 or D700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I love my 40d. I have been toying with the idea of picking up a 50d since I can trade in my original DRebel and pick it up for something like 600 or the 50d kit for 800. Personally if you don't have money invested in lenses go out and try the cameras and decide on what ones you like and find easy to navigate around in the menus. Both Nikon and Canon would be great brands. 40d. original digital rebel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSRep Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Hey Philosopher! Another two great shots.......I prefer the lighting in the first two and the stairs (they give a better skin tone I think) The third one Emily looks a little pale (would make a great vampire photo though hehe). Thanks for the advice re the cameras as well. Its SO confusing. Your thoughts on the EOS 500D? Budget hmmmm I'd say $1K..... Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm not familiar with the 500D at all, sorry. I did use a cooler treatment on the third image - not sure it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Wow that's amazing. How long of a shutter time are you using on those shots of the stars orbiting around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 1 is 1 hour 15 minutes the last is 43 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 That is lovely, its not often I see a photograph that makes me feel like I am actually there.... very nice I wish I understood what you mean by that shutter speed.....I asume from the pics its a slowed down action of taking the photo? Is that something I could do on my camera? Which is just a family camera. Its a Samsung 10.2Mp WB500. I looked in the manual but to be honest it doesnt really say much apart from charging pointing and auto options. I would love to do that with the hand movement on my watches!! I assume the camera could make the hand look continous on a full rotation. Anyway regardless those are great photos Thankyou :thumbsupsmileyanim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
