DSLR Camera Reccomendation?

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

there's a special cleaner for that. Get a filter for the lens, a clear one even, so that it protects the lens from scratching and smudges. I have one, they're cheap.

Good lookn homie. This photography gamE is tough. Harder than I expected

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

Nah it's not tough really, once u learn a lil it all clicks n makes sense. The only hard part about it is the holes buying lens puts in ur pockets lol, unless u got a lot of cash.

Yup I just copped a polarizer for my 10-22 that shit was like a bill but it was worth it! LOL lenses are a good investment

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

Yup, glass is always a good investment, good lens will outlast your camera bodies.

if you're in the bay.... on the SF side, www.borrowlenses.com is my go to spot.

I ended up getting the canon rebel, with a package: extra battery, memory card, a carrying case and a light scope

Nice. I got a Canon Rebel too. Which one did you get?

It definitely is. I'd like to get a degree in Photography, but it's hard since the nearest school for me is Fresno. Might just say fuck it and go to one of those 1-year photography schools in L.A.

Might need a tripod or faster lens.

 

[Nevasoba]

Tripod or shit all you need is somethin to set your camera on...there are times I dont have my tripod wit me so I'll set it up on a newstand or on top of my car LOL

 

[ColdBlooded]

I like that old black N white look when the background is all blurry N the subject is clear. What do you call that setting???

If u don't have a tripod, use ur camera's neck strap if u got one for more stabilization.

@Northbay, for night shots don't use the flash, unless ur taking pics of people indoors or something like that. U slow the shutter speed down to 5 or more seconds n let it sit n soak in the light.

^Pretty much what he said. A tripod is SOO useful when taking long exposure pictures because it HAS to be as steady as can be, otherwise it'll come out blurry as hell. If you don't have one, you can get a cheap one from Target, which is where I got mine. They have a $15 one and a $30. Get the $30 one, it's sturdier and works great for general photo-taking.
