i'm rocking a rebel t3i that i bought off craiglist a long time ago that i only really ever use for family stuff and conventions/events but i'm actually pretty glad i got it

it's just so fucking fascinating how people might think we are here to only talk about videos games, but we have talented people in other fields like this.

all taken off my instagram (dont know how to actually save them so I just screenshotted them)

I had a decent camera from my grandmother as a gift back when I was really into photography, hopefully I'll get myself back in, it's a nice hobby. Sometimes I felt like I tried a bit too hard to be "artsy"

Would love some criticism

the lighting on the second one is pretty bad, probably hard for you to get a light source coming from behind you in those conditions though

yea, that was something that bummed me out a lot, my only way to get a better source of light would be to light up the entire spotlight room, which is not exactly a very good idea midway through a play :/

I was always told I was "good" at photography, but I never thought so myself. Used to be really into it but started getting into video instead. Thought I might as well post some of my favourites here.

Taken on iPhone cameras, my nanna's very expensive Nikon and my friend's Canon that he let me borrow. I don't know what model of anything though, sorry :(

What's your budget and what are you looking to photograph?

Anyone here shoot 35mm or medium format?

Mix of Portra 400 and Superia 800. The stuff with the green cast is Superia. Shot on a Nikon N80, with a 50mm because that's the only 35mm lense i have...

I also got this shot with my quad recently while i was in Vermont.

This is sorta true, but the dynamic range on the iPhone is still gonna be crap compared to any actual digital camera. I'm biased but if anyone is looking to get into photography, it's surprisingly cheap to shoot 35mm, and it's a great way to train yourself to be more conservative and actually learn how to use a camera. You can usually find good condition film cameras on craigslist for ~100, and the price of film and processing is pretty cheap as long as you live in a decent sized city.

some pictures I took in a photography class a couple months ago.
I used a Rebel T3i

for me i just had a shit load of spare time over the summer and a ton of great places to go in sf so i tried to make memories or whatever using my phone

what's a good new camera? i remember last time i looked i was considering getting a nikon d300 / 500, thoughts on those? would $500 worth of lenses + dslr be enough to count as "high end" or still no?

was walking home from school and saw the greenest tree I've seen in my life.

To be "high end" you'd probably need to spend at least $1000. But most people don't need high end. If you grab a $600 body you'll be just fine for most things. What really matters is the glass your shooting on though, so buying a used body, and new lenses isn't a bad idea if you're on a tight budget. I personally shoot almost everything on prime lenses, and get by just fine. They're cheaper than zooms, and the quality is always going to be higher. The only zoom I shoot on a regular basis is my 10-24mm, but that's only because it's the widest angle lense I have. Planning on getting a 16mm prime at some point in the future.

This sorta brings me back to my film argument though. You could get higher quality images for about a third of the cost if you shoot on film. My Nikon N80 body cost me $80 on Craigslist, and then you could spend a lot more on a good lens, even a high end zoom.

If you're just starting out photography, there's absolutely no need dump $1000+ on a high end consumer DSLR + good lenses.

Learn the basics with d300, t5, etc (mirrorless & 4/3 has made huge strides in image quality) and build your lens collection. A $200 50mm is the same exact one the pros use + it makes incredible images.

Buying a good camera won't make you a good photographer, I'm sure we all have those friends on Facebook with expensive ass setups who take unbelievably mediocre images.

I'll also note that my 24mm pancake lens is by far my favorite even if it's the cheapest lens that I own.

I really like birds

yea skeez i totally see your point, there's no point in me dumping money on somethng that i don't really need

i'll probably try and buy like a d300 used or something and try and go from there

yeah just don't skimp on lenses. I highly recommend buying a body used, but for the most part it's not worth buying used lenses.
