damn man u take the hottest pics. +1 for u
glad you guys like em
sick man..sick.
was this taken with the D50?
Yes, George and Walker both shoot with a D50
It's the only camera I have...but all of those pics were taken with a 70-300mm lens.
Dang, Matt looks like he's all business in that Black & White pic.
wow, looking at those pics makes me want to get the D50 even more.
All DSLRS have their high points and low points. Anyone can buy a body , but the lens type and quality is where youll start noticing the differences. If you buy a D50, Ill sell you the lens I used to take these pics. Each and everyone has their own different style. A good camera doesnt reflect on the pictures you take, trust me, I took some really nice ones with point and shoots. If you've got a decent camera now, start getting your own style of shots, make the most out of what you have then start upgrading your equipment.
thanks for the tips.
Greatadvice. I shot with a 2mp canon, sold it and upgraded to the Nikon 8700 point and shoot (George bought this one and then sold it to upgrade), sold it and bought the Canon 350D and began buying lenses. The camera is a small part of the overall equation. The big part is being able to see the shot, know how to get the shot, and making the shot happen. George, Walker and a few of the others on here have got the Night Car shoots down to a science and have had some really good shots during the day. Once you identify a style you like then work towards developing your technique. Me personally I shoot a really broad range from cars only to car/model (one of the hardest to do) to architecture to weddings. I am trying to become 'good' at them all but specialize in car/model and motorsports. Jaime (JaimeCBR900) shoots about the same as myself so we joined up to start our own company but we both learn new things everytime we shoot. Digital is a whole new world.
I really am not sure if DSLR is right for me, and that's what I'm trying to figure out. I want to get a camera that will last me a decent amount of time, and I don't really want a point and shoot, because the one I have really loses quality when you go to blow the images up. I am leaning toward some kind of DSLR because I want a camera that takes good pictures, and that I can upgrade if I need to. I don't plan on taking any really complicated pictures, but I would like to have the ability to once I learn more about photography. Thanks for the help.Greatadvice.

Oh yea, what is Walker's SN?
I will be honest with you, you have more ability with a high end point and shoot (Nikon 8700 or 8800 for instance) than you do with a DSLR. The Nikons listed are 8mp, now they are not the high end quality of an 8mp DSLR but they are still real good and the functions will allow you to learn and grow as you progress. The downside to DSLR's are the lenses. They give a much better picture compared to point and shoots but cost a lot more. You pretty much have to have a lens to cover what it is you are wanting to accomplish where as a point and shoot can adapat to pretty much any situation. That is why usually when you see a pro out they have a bag with 3 or more lenses to cover different shooting circumstances. I will offer this advice and I am pretty sure George will agree, from the sounds of your situation I would recommend getting a Nikon 8700 or 8800 and learn to use it and develop your skill and technique.
That might be the best route for me to take, until I figure out what I'm doing. I'll definately look into those and research them a little bit. Thanks.
A DSLR is going to be great if you plan on sticking with photography for a while, but if your main concern is about loosing image quality when you blow up the images just get a nice point and shoot camera with a high megapixel rating. A lot of people here, myself included, learned the fundamentals of photography using very basic point and shoot cameras.
Mine was a 2002' Sony Cybershot 5 Megapixel. As you take more and more pictures you'll begin to devlop an eye for what "looks right". As you grow with your camera you'll begin to explore the other "manumatic" features of the point and shoot. Doing this will, over time force you to alter the cameras settings to achive the look you want.
After shooting with my point and shoot for about 3 years, my skill set had finally grown beyond what my Sony was capeable of.
At the event this weekend I was standing with several other IA photographers and it was kinda funny to see everyone with their DSLRs, after watching the same people post pictures they took with their point and shoots. If you already have a pretty good understanding of the basics of photography, and aren't afraid to continutally have to adjust your cameras settings to achive EXACTLY what you want get a DSLR. If you just want to take cool pictures and practice photography get a point and shoot, you'll save yourself several hundred dollars.
George, your pictures are awesome. I knew a nice lens could make a difference, but I am astonished as to what a dramatic difference there would be between the pictures.
Who was the other photographer standing infield with us?

Great pix babe! <3

You are probably talking about me.
great pics as always.
:boobies: &= :idb:
Imbosile:
Also consider the Olympus c8080. I had one and loved it. I should've kept it to use as back up to my 350D. The only difference between it and a DSLR was the interchangeable lenses. It has a ton of features and is a full 8MP.
Check it out. It's very user friendly and flexible.
BTW, great shots George.
I see "Round 1" in the thread title. Where's Round 2?
