Camera axis* terry Richardson is by no means a legendary photographer... He's a good business man.

I knew mentioning his name would get that reaction LOL! Photography chat is fun!
Anyway, that shot was a fun experiment. Glad you guys liked it.

Nothing wrong with point and shoots. They are just very limited on the technical side. It's also a matter of artistic interpretation. Some of the best photographs I've seen aren't "technically" perfect.

Havn't really seen much of Richardsons work, but I do remember reading somewhere about how really creepy he was.

Ah, yes... the Charlotte Free accusations.
You probably see his stuff more than you realize. He shoots a lot of celebrities and a lot of his stuff ends up in or on the covers of mainstream magazines.

He was sexually assaulting his models

hello everyone, the newb here.... i want sharper picts than my kit lens does on my d3100...

is this a good buy? mostly for car and some scenic shots, some portraits, maybe some macro.
it's a nikon 40mm f2.8. appears to get great reviews.

It's a micro/macro lens, great for close up photography, but you'd be better off with a 35mm f/1.8 for the type of shots you take. For portrait, you want something above 50mm to avoid unflattering distortion. It's a great lens nevertheless and will probably pick one up to add to my lineup sooner or later.

thanks! :tup:

...and go!

I need to start planning ahead so I can actually compose the shot better, but here's the International Space Station from the back of my truck. It's fairly easy to see and get pictures of and happens 2-3 times a night.

cool^ hard to tell what it is tho, you almost need to zoom way in and see if you can tell what it is

Need a telescope with a fairly fast tracking mount or a fast high end CCD camera to be able to resolve any detail of the ISS. But it's possible, one of my old Astronomy mags has a picture a blackbelt amateur astronomer took of the ISS with the Space Shuttle docked!

hmmm... :challengeaccepted: :bowrofl:

Got a "Baby Boomer" from Buff to tide me over until I got a proper boom stand for lighting hair. It still didn't allow me to turn my beauty dish downward enough, so I tweaked it a little with a vise and a large adjustable wrench.
Much better now, minus the bite marks from the vise :ugh2:

DIY ftw :tup:
