Just bought a Canon Rebel XS. I have been reading through TONS of info in the section. There is alot of helpful stuff thats for sure. I have not taken any pics with it yet im just going to keep reading up and then tomorrow after work I will pull it out. Im looking for a torrent for cs4 or 5. I have not used photoshop much but once I get it Ill just read through some tutorials to get me started.

I have already learned so much the past few days reading through this section. There are alot of realy good photographers in the section, keep up the good work!

Ah ya I need photoshop so bad. Cant wait to fool around with it. I have not changed the shutter speed yet, looking forward to doing that.

Here is a couple more.
I didnt have a tripod so I couldnt do a very long shutter speed, but ISO is 1600 and I forget what aperture was at.

My first HDR, I didnt made a few different ones with this picture, ranging from ones that look more realistic to surreal ones like this.

Thanks, I like it. There are a few things wrong in it, one being the umbrella.

I re-did a few things in this picture, cleared up the background a bit more, changed the eye color.. ect.

I need to watch some tutorials on it haha. I thought I would be able to figure it out myself, but here is just sooo much to it.

I wish i had money for a nice camera. How much does that camera go for? Please dont say, "if you gotta ask you cant afford it"

Whats up camera noob! lol
I should really update and add more Photography tip threads..

Your photos aren't bad at all. I could critique them individually but its a bit difficult with them not together or numbered.

You should sign up for Flickr, it's a photo sharing site and people can comment on your photos.
There's also tons of groups and discussion on all types of topics.

I also suggest you check out some camera/photography specific forums.
I'm a mod over at MyCanikon. And Canon Digital Photography Forums is another great forum.

PS: Here is my flickr account: Flickr: TomJanz.com's Photostream

I use a Canon 5D mark II and my back body is currently a 40D. I plan on replacing the 40D with a 7D some time this summer.
My lenses are: 24-70mm F2.8L, 50mm F1.2L and 70-200mm F2.8L IS
I have ton's of other gear that we dont really need to list here. LOL

well I will throw some numbers up to make it easier for you guys to critique them! It would be awesome if you added some more stuff to read. It definitely helps alot for people like me. Thanks for the sites, I will check them out for sure.

baha I bent my girll support.. I have yet to straighten it. It is going to be a pain in the ass.

Did you notice my photoshop special grill insert? lol i blacked it out. look at how it is in other pictures.

11 = sexy as fuck
I kind of wish I painted it that color.. I was bouncing back and forth between white and grey.

I think you should make that your sig^

Nice shots, i need to get photoshop too. Ive just been using the few adjustments on iPhoto or none at all lol
make which one my sig?
