Oh, forgot -- picked up a Canon G10 today. Really nifty camera for a point 'n shoot. It's almost as flexible as most DSLRs, shoots RAW, and the image quality is excellent considering the small sensor. I wanted something for family stuff etc. and to keep with me wherever I go without the bulk or risk of pulling out the big guns. Best Buy knocked $50 off just by me asking if they could do better on the price; paid for the SD card right there.

Looks like I will be getting my d90 will arrive at my house on friday. The 35mm hasn't shipped out yet because of backorder. Just might have to order a different lens too

looks good. it should be fun to play around with. my d40 is due here on tuesday! right now it's somehwere between Hodgkins, IL, and California.

^^^ looking good! I should pick up a macro lens one of these days. Speaking of macro, I got bored after editing wedding photos tonight, so shot this w/ the G10. Actually did a series w/ other cars, but haven't finished editing them yet. This is one great thing about P&S's -- you can get in stupid close.

I am totally inexperienced with the whole flash game here. I got my sb900 and have been playing around with it just need a wireless flash trigger. Ne suggestions?

solbrothers · #**651** (**permalink**) 05-16-2009, 03:54 AM

you dont need a wireless trigger. if you are totally inexperienced, start with bouncing the flash off a wall or ceiling. srsly.

also, hell yes, going to the AMA superbike races tomorrow and sunday. hope to take some dope pictures. gonna bring my 28-300mm lens and my 50mm 1.8

Kyle is raaddd · #**652** (**permalink**) 05-16-2009, 04:36 AM

Yeah, do what Matt said, just bounce it.
This is from the first night I got my flash:

And this is from a shoot I had last night (about a month of using flash photography)

Actually, you already have wireless flash capability-- the D90 does CLS and has Commander mode. You can use the pop-up to control the SB900 w/ nothing more to buy. Look in the manuals for both to see how to set it up. Once you try it, it's pretty easy and flexible too -- you can use the sb900 as your main w/ the pop-up as on-axis fill; you can use the pop-up as main and the 900 as fill; you can use only the sb900 as an off camera main, etc.

Fitcapo · #**654** (**permalink**) 05-18-2009, 12:05 AM

Figured out the wireless with my d90 and the sb900 last night won't have any pics with it until I get my other lenses.

Chikubi · #**655** (**permalink**) 05-18-2009, 04:15 AM

Cool, it's really simple, isn't it. And FREE!

Interstate526 · #**656** (**permalink**) 05-19-2009, 05:38 PM

my d40 came in the mail today! now i'm just sitting here waiting for the battery to charge.

Interstate526 · #**657** (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 12:18 AM

went out behind my apartment today and took a few photos with my new d40.

Kyle is raaddd · #**658** (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 12:26 AM

I love that second one.
Great composition.

Fitcapo · #**659** (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 12:48 AM

Cool. Keep up with the nice shots.

Interstate526 · #**660** (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 03:35 AM

thanks guys. im still kinda figuring out more about the camera. some of those were in P mode and some in auto i think.

I can't figure out how to set auto iso in P, so i think i kept it at 400 most of the time.
