Whatevers clever man. Post up. I seen some pretty amazing stuff on iPhones within the past years. Not totally par with DSLRs but definitely with point and shoots.

I started a new job in August and a startup package just came through allotting $1600 for a DSLR body/lens. Any recommendations? I've gone numb reading reviews online.
[close]

what are you going to be using it for?
[close]

Documenting my work--shooting photos possibly for publication. I work doing local food production/urban agriculture stuff. Camera bodies seem fairly straight forward but I really want a good versatile lens.

I'm thinking of getting this lens:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/12140-USA/Canon_2515A003_50mm_f_1_4_USM_Autofocus.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjw06GfBRCR9tDI4t6n5_MBEiQAFo6kuDaSqb5VgOrqqrk8bz8PhKK8TF-Mdg9Zsnv0tp9sjg0aAs8P8P8HAQ

And this body/lens:
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Digital-3-0-Inch-18-135mm-Standard/dp/B0040JHVC2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407821979&sr=8-2&keywords=canon+60d

I'd love feedback though.

I just bought the 50mm 1.4 for my 7D and i'm pretty stoked on it. Had the 1.8II before cause it was cheaper and i wasn't quite sure if prime lenses are my cup of tea. But nowadays i mostly use the 1.4 for whatever im shooting. Really depends on what you want to shoot. I haven't used a 60D ever, but its probably a good choice. Do you wanna shoot skating? Sequences?

definitely. some guy i follow on tumblr just created an app that lets you shoot photos with your iphone in a "manual" mode, so you can select your own iso/shutter speed/white balance. its only $2 which seems worth it to me, but i dont have enough space on my phone to download the new ios so i havent tried it out. might be handy if you shoot with your phone a lot.

Fongstarr. · « **Reply #5257 on:** September 30, 2014, 09:50:51 AM »

^^^I saw that. Hopefully people can get some cool night photos cause the auto ISO is what really kills the iphone. Will download that soon.

fell into a lake with my digital camera in my pocket on Saturday. camera won't turn on and i can't get anything off the card.
don't care about the camera so much, but would like to find a way to get the photos and video off the card.
anyone have any ideas? thanks.

tumulishoomaroom · « **Reply #5259 on:** September 30, 2014, 12:07:42 PM »

Open the sd card with a sharp knife and try to let it dry. It should work, it's quite robust. A friend of mine had his sd card spend a whole night in a puddle and managed to get back all of the photos. I wouldn't trust the card after that though, just copy the pictures (if you can) and buy a new one.

DMH · « **Reply #5260 on:** September 30, 2014, 07:09:43 PM »

Got it this time.

And somehow this came back as one of the digital prints. Not sure why it was cropped like this, but it looks cool, so...?

colin · « **Reply #5261 on:** September 30, 2014, 07:22:48 PM »

DMH, that first one is striking; I like it.

This is a picture from Maui looking across to Lanai with Molokai off to the right. That's Black Rock down to the left:

this is looking east from atop peak c, gore range, colorado. ended up being quite the mission.

the boys were waiting with cold PBRs when we got down.

JB · « **Reply #5264 on:** October 01, 2014, 10:17:08 AM »

nice stuff DMH! everything looks awesome.

heres some shots i took with a stylus epic. i dropped it right after i got it and i mustve fucked up the seals because everything after my first roll i shot has gnarly light leaks. it was kind of a bummer because everything that i purposely composed on the left side of the frame got fucked up. i threw some electrical tape on where i think the light is getting through so hopefully it helps. anyways, here are a few shots that i thought didnt get totally fucked up.

vitunvesa · « **Reply #5265 on:** October 01, 2014, 12:06:29 PM »

I actually like those but wouldnt want em on every photo either. electrical tape will sure fix it

okdad · « **Reply #5266 on:** October 01, 2014, 01:33:57 PM »

Damn good stuff on here as always. DMH, holy shit, so good. And JB, I'm loving those light leaks!! Happy accidents eh?

Anyways, here's a couple I've taken lately:

Holy shit Bullet, those first two ones are amazing. I love symmetrical shots and the timing and composition on those are perfect.

I like it a lot too.

I just bought my first digital camera - a used Canon 7D. Anyone have experience with zoom lenses, thinking about either Canon EF-S 15-85/3.5-5.6 or Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM. Thanks bros

.

Hercules Rockefeller · « **Reply #5271 on:** October 02, 2014, 01:30:16 PM »

before getting rid of all my zoom lenses, i had the 7D and the 15-85, and i was quite happy with it. price/range/image quality is great, and the 15mm compared to 24mm on the wide end leave you with a lot more possibilities..

Fongstarr. · « **Reply #5272 on:** October 02, 2014, 02:10:19 PM »

If you want something really wide, there is a 10-18mm that is a good price. Not the fastest lens but good nonetheless and good for a crop body.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1051476-USA/canon_9519b002_ef_s_10_18mm_f_4_5_5_6_is.html

There is also a new 24mm pancake lens as well. Good price if you want yet another wide angle lens:

a few cars and some other shit.

okdad · « **Reply #5274 on:** October 03, 2014, 07:56:51 PM »

Good shit, JB. I really like the third one and the last two. Also, check your inbox.

Hercules Rockefeller · « **Reply #5275 on:** October 03, 2014, 11:44:18 PM »

shot this on my way home from a wedding in the north of finland at roughly 4 a.m.
didnt think too much of it, freehand shot, not too much colorful stuff going on.

then, 2 months later, i decided to try and convert it to black and white, and suddenly i really liked it. another case of "if it sucks, convert it to black and white."

also, i love the alf picture JB!

And I'm gonna have this print in a fancy-ish type show tonight. Wish me luck selling it!

Hercules Rockefeller · « **Reply #5278 on:** October 04, 2014, 11:53:06 AM »

please stop it with the xpan photos.

please.

i cant afford one.

JB · « **Reply #5279 on:** October 04, 2014, 12:10:05 PM »

That's definitely one of my favorites of yours Cadillac. I imagine you shouldn't have any trouble selling a good sized print of that.

I really dig the one above it too.

I didn't mention it before, but those bridge shots are really awesome bullet. Great timing.

Everyone's stuff is seriously awesome. I get a lot of inspiration from the stuff you guys shoot. Definitely makes me want to try harder.
