Man you guys rock? Do you guys use photoshop, have good cameras, or have formal training in photography? I have an old digital camera, and thats it. Nothing special. My little brother is taking photography in highschool, so I learn from him, but he is still better than me. I really wish I had different lenses, not the deep focus lense, it's just not as interesting for still photography, it's too messy.

I'm taking an intro class to photography for my last semester. I'm using an old SLR camera from the mid 70's. Messing with different lenses can be a hassle but you can do a lot with an old SLR with a 50mm lens.
I have no idea how to use photoshop, otherwise I'd touch up my scanned photos a little more.
demon, that first picture is awesome. Love the color and the lines, well framed.
I use a Digital Rebel and Photoshop to retouch my pictures some (not a whole lot, but for sharpening + color correction mostly). I used to use an old Nikon 3megapixel that was good for messing around, but not too great for detail and a variety of shooting environments (low light, etc). The DR is amazing and I'm constantly amazed at how well my pictures come out. Almost all of my pictures have been takne with the kit lens, which is very basic and I only recently got a pair of new lenses that are much better than the kit.

Here's a few I took last month with my PowerShot A80.
This is a repost from the art thread. it was pretty much my first wedding ever. I was told like a week before so i didnt really have any idea as to what i should be doing. they had places to take pictures already planned so i kinda felt like i didnt have to do much but meh. I tried to make the best of it.
I went to a visit to Belgium a couple of weeks ago, and took some pics with a digi-cam, although my girlfriend took most of em.

The Nikon 70 shots are amazing!
I only got a puny Ixus 40....buhuhu....but well, at least it's a quite handy cam, fit's into my trousers pocket's easily.
The Great Wall at Ba Da Ling. See it snaking up in the distance? Man, that was an awesome experience just sitting there.
Kennedy Town in HK. Right next to where I live.
Gate of Heavenly Peace at the northern side of Tiananmen Square, Beijing. Including massmurderer Mao.
The view when looking out of my apartment. Hong Kong (Bok Fu Lam). haaaaa.... =)
Poor Birdies held in cages at Yuen Po Street Bird Garden, northern Mong Kok (Hong Kong).
And the last one for today. Aberdeen Harbour. Thousand of ships in the harbour where people live, work and seldom go on land.
more pics on my blog, unfortunately not in english

I'm toying with the idea of either getting a Digital Rebel, 20D or a Nikon D70. The D70 is looking awfully tempting.

Haih la! You're right. Suzuki made a fantastic job in "characterizing" Kowloon. Better than most films do today.
Sometimes, when I'm walking around in Kowloon I just want to ask some people if they have seen any "sailors". =)
I need Shenmue 3 =(
:lol I went through the same when I bought a DSLR...Great King Bowser said:

Looking back, I'm very satisfied with the D70 and have no regrets. Since Canon released the XT and Nikon released the D70s (D50 will be out in June), you'll have more choices too.

Thanks for the advice, don't think I can really afford the 20D on second thoughts, especially as this'll be my first non-point-and-shoot camera, digital or otherwise.
Nikon are offering £100 rebate in the UK on D70s, so I may have to bite before I head off to Vietnam in the summer. Looking at the vacation as a nice opportunity to get some nice snaps.
consider the rebel XT and the redesigned D70 modification (forget what its called, D70s?). rebel XT is really quite a bit better than the rebel, and cheaper than the 20D. i can get a 20D, but now im thinking of just buying the XT, as 20D is a hell of a camera. too much of a camera for me at this point.Great King Bowser said:
Family picnic.
Some pics I took while on the bus up from Tokyo to Aomori.
Not really a good photo, but this guy looks badass so I like it
My backpack after traveling for 20 hours straight.
These are older ones already on photobucket so I'm too lazy to resize them (they aren't that huge):
Hirosaki's blossoms.

Yay for the sun
Note: I do not have any training in photography, all I have is a Powershot A85 and Photoshop!
From my trip to HK:
For the Shenmue fans:
The Jumbo floating restaurant, as seen in God of Cookery!
Kowloon Park.
Another Shenmue moment...
And another:
Queen's Pier:
Wan Chai, another place featured in Shenmue...
And no trip to HK is complete without a pic from the peak:
Friend's 21st birthday:
A bit of a CSI Miami look going on here:

I braided my horseys hair, but...
I don't think he liked it, since he made this grumpy face afterwards. :lol
Also, my doggie Vladimir:
I only post this again [showed it in the car thread] because some random bitch who supports the Patriot Act came out of nowhere to complain to me on my blog about a post I made inspired by a thread here [the one about expanding the PA.]
She then proceeded to insult my skates. Look, she even took the time to rate my photo a 1. :lol :lol :lol

Taken the other day when I went riding.
Not the greatest, but you try taking a good photo while on horseback. >,",<
Wow, this is great! I can never take action shots -- they always turn out real blurry.
I've never been to the races before; did you place any bets?
