Hahaha, I once read an article by a photographer that said he figured for every two shots he "missed" it cost him a new piece of equipment.

I gotta tell you though, you guys are going to cost me an RC car. I have always wanted one...

Here is one of the cars the guys were running through the crowd at the regatta last weekend.

Fourth shot is best in this series... Good movement. I'm not sure about the over-saturation of the images not sure it does any favors. But good shot

I feel like the fourth shot is overly saturated too. As well as some of the others. Long story short I have been editing my pics on my gf's pc. Poor monitor, hard to edit. I dont really see what they look like till i post on here and check via my droid. Im no pro but I love photography. Thanks for the criticism.

You want to stray away from over-saturating anything, so dont go into saturation play with selective color !

To Everyone:

One of the best lens for the buck is buying a 50mm 1.4, it's like 200$ if that... It has a wonderful BOKEH (depth of field) and challenges you to be creative with your intended framing...

^ I just got back into RC recently. Its another pretty fun/expensive hobby (wish i could find cheaper hobbies). I was out of RC for awhile and a friend of mine bought a RC rockcrawler, I had never even heard of them. I thought the idea of going SLOW and crawling over rocks sounded lame. Ive always been more of a speed guy myself. Needless to say first time I drove his I was hooked!! Bought mine a few days later. So glad I got back into it. I drive it almost everyday and it gives me a good subject to shoot

phelan · 08-14-2011, 01:29 PM

still getting used to the speedlight...i'm not very good and figuring out the light and where to bounce light off of.

then again, i was practicing when it was still pretty good light out, so it was just overkill.

HKYStormFront · 08-14-2011, 02:48 PM

while i can't argue that it's not a good lens (because it is)... it is almost double that price now...

i dont like posting what I do.

k20z3 · 08-14-2011, 02:53 PM

I just think alot of the members are shooting with like a 1/3 cropped sensor, so the 50mm would yield beneficial.

k20z3 · 08-14-2011, 02:54 PM

I love full frame, because all the lenses are the accurate on them without variable tends to make lens choices less stressful

From my beach vacation last week, actually didn't take that many pictures. Going to work on some others when I get a chance.
