PWRRTiger16 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Chris, you know I love you and all that doolarky. Those car shoots are pretty boring IMO. There's not much too them, they all seem the same. You need to spice them up a bit. And how come you're not on MSN as much anymore ¬_¬ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Its very very hard to make that type of photography exciting...Look at the difference from beaverun pictures (which i am very limited to composition due to there only being 2 areas you can take pics which both suck), and then look at Mid Ohio pictures, which I had the whole track. So its very hard to make the pictures interesting at beaverun. And I had to check your facebook to see who you were Haha rossssyy <3 I am always on msn, been busy hanging out with friends though and stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The End Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 the D40 is great, I'm going to sell mine soon, to trade up for the D90. I heard that the D90 incorporates many of the same features as the D300, with the body besides the video capabilities. being one of the only differences plastic vs. metal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 The d90 is a great bargain for the price. Its very comparable to the pro line slr's. Its going to be my next body too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The End Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 how close have you come to your goal chris? haha I just posted my D40 up today, yesterday the gf got me the Nikon SB-400 flash, a nice little flash, suites my needs perfectly. What DSLR did you start out with first? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 The d40 is my first slr My priorities so far have been to get lenses before a 2nd body, so as of now I have a complete lens list that fits every type of shooting I need..So my next purchase was a d90..but then I got into videography and purchased a very nice camcorder....and put $400 into stuff for the camcorder.. So I have $0 for the d90 But eventually I will get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The End Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I was in the same sort of dilemma, lens or the body? The lens I wanted to get is the new 85mm "micro lens" because I really enjoy taking macro shots, however the lens was worth more than my camera body, so i thought, what the heck, sell the D40 and get a better body, then get a better lens. Chris, any opinion on the 18-105mm VR lens? I've also considered that as a go to all purpose lens as a potential buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Well I researched for a long time, talked to lots of professionals, and went the lens route because the lenses are the most important part of the kit. One of my lenses was $850. On a $400ish Nikon D40 body. There isnt really any amazing "all purpose lenses" besides the 24-70 f2.8...but thats $2k and not really a all purpose lens.

vidar Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Na dont drift chris, is mates car I took pics of. Though hopefully i'll have a S15 soon, maybe then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Bodies come and go... Get the cheapest body with the best lens you can afford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Not really the cheapest body haha, The best body that fits your needs. For most people the d40/rebel xti are fitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Not really the cheapest body haha, The best body that fits your needs. That would be the cheapest for most people... First time DSLR buyers have no idea what and why they need (if they need it at all). Since bodies lose value a lot faster than lens, beginners should get the cheapest body. Without the proper skills and lens, they will take the same badly focused and composed pics even with a $6000 eos 1Ds mk3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Some people do sports and need higher end cameras though which would not always be the cheapest body possible. But then again for a good telephoto they are around $1000. So most first time slr users wont wanna even spend $1400 on just a sports setup. If your doing landscape then a d40/rebel xti are more then enough, I love mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The End Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 so I "sold" my D40 body on Ebay, so I thought, but unforntuantly it was a dead-beat buyer, so i have to relist again! dammit, so close to the D90 now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 That sucks man, I hate when people do that :/ How much was ending bid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
