New Camera

[Azzaro]

In 1956 or was it 55, I got a Kodak Brownie and a sheet of instructions.. Couple of weeks ago I got a new Nikon and a 379 page book on how to run it.:rofl I hope I get thru it in my life time and understand it......

This is one of my first shots ... Maybe I need to reread chapter 3 and 4.

Well, maybe chapters 3,4 and 11,12, and 13 as well. Just kidding. This one certainly is a bit extreme, Azzaro, but what the hell.....you are the KING OF RED and you can do as you damn well please:D :D :D

Take care, buddy,

Tom

Very cool shot. Esp like how you arm frames that inset of landscape and the negative on the sunburst....

[Eia]

Hey Andrew, thanks for commenting. Its a little different pic than I usually do. azzaro

Hi Eia.....Glad you like it. I like to do shots like this, but I know it isn't for everybody.

I have been using a Nikon D40x, which I really like. It is really light, and produces really good IQ. I bought a D90 I wanted bracketing, better noise control, 11 point focusing ..... azzaro

I would like this image, new or old camera.

Congratulations on the new camera :thumb

Love LOVE this shot and the PP work:D .

I think it's hysterical how your D90 takes up so much more of your face--note your avatar and now this SP.

Curious--what is that dark spot on the top left of the shot. Almost looks like a busted windshield, but I know that's not it--just wondering.

Thanks Liz.......The dark spot is the sun, just reversed it from blown out to black ...blown out didn't work...the pic. was taken with a 10X24 Nikon lens set at 10mm..... Yup, bigger and heaver..... When I was young I carried everything I owned with me, now I'm old, I take one camera and the lens that is on it.:D azzaro

Hi Azzaro :D

A new camera and a new wide lens -- you must of won the lottery or been eating tuna for months :D I'm very happy for you :lust

As for your photo -- I really love it. The color is fabulous. This whole photo just blends together so well. Did you write the steps down :D I like how you did the sun. It fits so well into the photo. And your reflection matches up so well with the photo outside the mirror. I know I would of had some major issues trying to do that.

As I use to say long ago....Awesome, Outta Sight and in the Groove :thumb :thumb :thumb :thumb

[AaronNelson]

ready to take your new gear to Toro this spring?

Hi Nik..... Thanks for looking in........New equipment is always fun ......I believe you got a new Canon 7D a short time ago.....And impressive piece of gear............. azzaro

Yeah I did... First copy had some focusing problems so I had to replace it. Also got a copy of 24-105, so I'm totally ready for my next big outdoor event:
Canon 5D2 + 24-105L
Canon 7D + 100-400L
This way I have a full "near/far" coverage and don't have to change lenses the whole day!

Thanks Azzaro -- Isn't tuna great when you can get a camera and lens :thumb

[DaddyO]

Azzaro, interesting what ya got going on in this one.

Your getting a camera on or about 1955 and I'm getting brought onto the
planet. :D No instructions required for that.

Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with using this new camera
you picked up.

[Airedrifter]

I dabble with that sort of thing when I get a shot that has good composition or is interesting but fails otherwise.

Of the photos of swimming I take for my daughter in college, she and her friends really like the psycho ones... :)

I prefer tradition. :)

I'll post a couple in another thread.

Yours is extremely well done.

Thanks for the comment........ As shot, this picture was terrible, and I was going to delete it...... The colors gave it some drama and created the composition..... azzaro
