Fast primes and a high iso are the way to go in clubs, then switch your mode dial around and bring your brand-specific flash into play.

I haven't stepped foot inside a cinema since 1985--Purple Rain if you care. Didn't feel an uncontrollable urge to jump into Lake Minnetonka after seeing it, and wife-beating didn't take hold of me, e...

I simply love everything about this photo, including it's title.

Nice Jazz. I much prefer #2, although the humor of 3 was fun.

I like to use a title that adds the single bit of information that might be missing, and hopefully helps the photo make more sense to everyone. But I also like to go with whatever pops into my head ...

While the original was fine for me, the later versions are what I was thinking all along. I'm trying to get away from solid black/white backgrounds myself, and both of your colored backgrounds are gr...

Great series of pics, Nia! I really enjoyed them.

Matthew said "...their Live-View cameras have viewfinders (that) are lousy verging on horrible" I can't disagree, insofar as the original series (A300/350) are concerned. Looked through an Alpha900'...

New Bass Day:P I almost bought a new 30mm F2.8 macro lens with my own cash plus a few birthday donations I recently received, but a new bass was more interesting to me. As a project. The decision ...

I like the "Saving Private Ryan" look: gritty, grainy, contrasty and under-saturated". While your example doesn't really strike me as having that exact look (probably the lack of background) it's de...

When I shoot in low light, I try for correct exposure but definitely prefer overexposure to under. When you bump up the exposure in post, the noise gets amplified, too. Correct exposure with my came...

Nia is such a nice cheerleader. :D I knew I wasn't alone with this. The worst part is that I can't make plans or come up with ideas because I know in my heart that it's just wishful thinking--plan...

I work, I drink, I cut the grass. I fix things. Repeat. Still haven't found a truck to replace my wrecked car, so I'm stuck at home far too much. When inspiration strikes I must ignore it. I know ...

I'm probably going to get a 30mm Macro next. $175. On my APS-C sensor that = 45mm, which is very "normal", and I like the macro aspect very much. After buying the 50mm F1.8 almost a month ago and ...

Reminds me of my rants back when digital cameras were new and the manufacturers didn't have a clue. Someday they'll get it right?

Oh God, I don't even want to know what's on my sensor. I used to change lenses in dirty smoke-filled nightclubs (before I got the 50mm F1.8) and I also smoke in our dusty home. Pollen has been off t...

I haven't taken it off the camera yet. Still trying it in as many different situations as possible. http://www.shuttertalk.com/forums/images/upload/DSC07914.0600.jpg http://www.shuttertalk.com/fo...
