Papakatz45 -- I did not say no negative comments. what I did say was to talk about the picture and not the person. Say the pic was to close, to fuzzy, cropped to small or should of been bigger. Not that she was ugly because she has tats.

I so agree with you. There are to many arrogant people here. To me this is a place to chat about photography. NOT about how ugly someone is. To me it is about how clear, fuzzy, dark, light the pic is, or what type of gear they used.
We all can have opinions. I for one believe if you can't say something nice, then shut the HELL UP.

Hello

I have used a Tamron 18-270mm lens for years. Here are a few pictures from it. ... In a few weeks when I have the $640.00 for it I plan on getting the 18-400 for the Canon. ... Most of these pictures just needed

cropping.

Hello,
For those ppl who want to know about SD cards ... Class 2 - Class 4 markings tell how fast they can be wrote on .... ( made up #'s ) lets say class 2 = 2 pictures a sec. ... Class 10 = 8 to 10 per sec.

UHS Class is more for video .... they have a min and max speed, so your videos show up a lot better ... full HD Video's ... need Class 10 and UHS 3

For all of the GEEK stuff go to WWW.SDCARD.ORG

I may be an amateur, that doesn't mean that I would need months to do a shoot. A pro I would think would have the equipment to job the next day if they had to. ..... As for doing a shoot like Snipershot wants to do ..... I have stuff already if I was asked or wanted to do ...

Hello Snipershot ... I agree with FJT ... a Canon Selphy printer is a great little printer. the drawback is it only prints out 4x6's ... I have used one for years. ... As for power .... all most all stores have power plug-ins for your car, around 15 to 30 dollars.

Have Fun

... Hello Spywayman:
Your SD cards have class #'s on them. The higher the # the faster it puts the picture on the card. The card its self has no affect on the picture. Let us say a class 2 card can write a picture on a card in 3 sec. (made up #) where as a card class 10 can write maybe 15 or more. the faster cards are real nice in taking sport pictures. One does not have to wait for the card to write before you can take another picture.

WWW.SDCARD.ORG this site tells all about SD cards . NOW some older cameras can not handle card over 4gbs because of the way the cards need be wrote on.

I just wanted to learn photography - hadn't a clue what I wanted to take images of. Was sold a Sony A230 with two kit lenses plus a lot of stuff that hardly ever got used. I needed to buy a remote shutter buton, polariser, N grad filter and cokin holder.....but that all came a little later. I bought a used Canon to get better slow shutter control and live view (that doesn't work easily). Took the oportunity to buy a Sony A65 for a better live view plus it upgraded 'everything' since the A230. Now stopped buying 'much'....got fun things at bargain prices just to play with. Until something breaks....I've done buying anything else.

PS Pretty much stay with landscapes so the kit lenses actually were a good original buy. Added a couple more just for variety.

Asking what you photograph has its place......for those that have a niche !.....but just worries beginners who may think that it actually limits them as to what they CAN take.......All cameras can take anything......it is just that some do certain things a little better than others. Not that most people realise or need.

Have fun with what you've got - till you know exactly what you need.

G Brown ... As a OLD beginner I find asking ppl new to photography what do they like to take over 50% of their pictures. Some just say ... friends at parties, bars and just hanging out. After chatting with them in those areas ... I say wellll ... the new cell phones would great for those pictures. Now if you like pictures to blow up and frame ... you will need a kit with body and lens. Then if you still want to do photography, you should know what way you want to go .... as nature - landscapes or a little bit of every thing or just better pictures you can then get lens or bodies for those needs. I feel why spend money for things you don't need RIGHT now. start with baby steps.

Hi All, I just joined a few weeks ago. I don't by any means think I'm a PROFESSIONAL , but a feel that I'm a bit more then a beginner. Myself I feel photography is more of a hobby then a living. Been using a Canon EOS Rebel T3i with a Tamron 18-270mm lens for 90% of my shooting for years. Most of the shooting I do is on full auto. BUT I strongly feel that before some one up grades they should understand the basics of picture taking. That way they should know if they need a new camera body or a new lens.

To me the biggest mistake most beginners make is not telling the sales person what they will be using the camera for. As mostly closer then 50 feet ? sports fast moving ? or outside, over 50 feet away. I told the man that I rode a bicycle and did a lot of hiking. He told me a Rebel T3i, for the fast shutter, and the Tamron zoom for 10 feet to about 300 feet. Been very happy with both.
