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

 

Nice pick up there Chikubi....I got one for my father for Christmas....he love a lot that he hardly use his Nikon.....


Fitcapo...Nice can't for the pictures!!!

 

Well the camera showed up today. Still waiting on the 35mm. Will try and get some pics today we will see tho I am really tired.

 

sweeeet jake!

first paid shoot was today:


senior pictures

 

camera phone of my lubitel and sigma cameras in class tonight

 

Alright only got two pics from today. Only working with a 105mm macro right now and was pretty tired from work so here they are.






They are kinda fru fru pictures but ohh well.

 

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?

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

I love that second one.
Great composition.

 

Cool. Keep up with the nice shots.

 

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.
