It's been a while.... February 27, 2009, 11:01:06 PM First off, I LOVE my new camera and the most recent lens I just got for it this week. Some of you know how hard it is to get a decent night shot.....That being said I'll tell you this: These were taken WITHOUT A TRIPOD!That's right folks; hand held and no flash If I had taken the time to set up the tripod I could have stopped the aperture down to gain more depth of field and more uniform light. That's something for a dry night though. Quote Selected

It's been a while.... Reply #3 – February 28, 2009, 08:27:57 AM I can't believe that's with no flash.When my car is done, I'm going to get a better camera. Then the temptation won't be there to take pics in a dusty shop environment. Quote Selected

Then the temptation won't be there to take pics in a dusty shop environment.I stopped down to f2.5. The lens is capable of f1.8. ISO was either 400 or 800....Can't remember, I'll have to look it up.

It's been a while.... Reply #6 – March 01, 2009, 12:23:29 PM Those are some great pics. What kind of camera do you have?I've been looking into getting a Nikon DSLR for some time since the lenses will work from my buttstuffog SLR. Quote Selected

We got a DSLR last year for newspaper/yearbook and I learned which does what but now I cant remember. If I had the money I would go get my Gramps a DSLR. He would use it like a point and shoot but he takes pictures of some amazing stuff that would really benefit from the clarity of a SLR. Quote Selected
It's been a while.... Reply #8 – March 02, 2009, 06:01:39 AM great pics, your car looks great !!......... had it been raining ? Quote Selected
It's been a while.... Reply #9 – March 02, 2009, 10:35:22 AM Yes it had just finished raining.The camera is a Canon Rebel XS. As far as Nikon is concerned; D90 - hands down. Great quality at a reasonable price. Since I'm just getting my feet wet I went a little more entry level. I'll tell you what though; if I were to do it RIGHT NOW I would do the Canon 50D.http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=17499Here's a price that HAS to be too good to be true on the 50D as well: $469 for the body..... http://www.ontimedigital.com/products.asp?product_id=10872&from_search=10872&gclid=CL_doJrLhJkCFQEpGgodJzJimgI'm waiting for a deal on the lens I want. Similar to the basic kit lens Canon usually throws in, but with image stabilization, an f2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range AND L series glass. It'll only mount on a small sensor such as my rebel or the 50D so the $5000 camera bodies are out :hick: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-17-55mm-Lens-Cameras/dp/B000EW8074/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1236009270&sr=8-2Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 ISUnfortunately, even used lenses command a huge premium, so I'll have to get lucky....
