Its definetly possible. I know on some cameras you can actually adjust that in camera, i think its the d300 and up.

Yeah, d300 has fine tune. But this doesn't always help if the lens is at fault. With out fine tune it may be harder to tell what the problem is.

Stop shooting in manual mode. Shoot in aperture priority, ISO 100 and up your ISO if you aren't getting shutter speeds that are fast enough.

Truth. I'm just now (after a few years with a DSLR) finding myself knowing when and how to shoot manual. I remember being SO confused by aperture and shutter speed for the longest time.

Not going to believe this, but....got my gear back. Click the image to read the nonsense that happened. Still going to upgrade to a 5D2, just not sure when. I'm just happy to have my gear back and some extra stuff that I panic ordered because I have a wedding to shoot on the 13th!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome man. Excuse to upgrade and you get to keep your old stuff. :)

That's awesome that you got your gear back. Fucking low life scums.

Great lighting on that shot too :)

I know, still cannot believe it!

Thanks! :D

Go buy a lottery ticket matt ;)

Right? haha

Awesome man. Excuse to upgrade and you get to keep your old stuff. :)

I know. Going to sell my 40D and get the 5D2 I think.

woohoo! sucks that you had to pay, but still awesome.

Yes, but opposed to what I could have been faced w/ I'm happy.

I love this thread. So many good pictures! You won't be dissappointed with a 5dmk2, i love my long time! I used to have a 400d (rebel xti on your side of the pond?) and it felt like a toy compared to the 5dmk2!

One from one of my recent shoots:

^awesome car! More of the e30 too!

[Cook]

it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to shoot the nsx i think!

316i lux - m52b28 powered, lsd, black leather recaros (not sport seats), black leather m3 rear bench, black parcel shelf + blind, 16" hartges and loads of other shizzle. I don't have many recent pics though. I need to get out and get some decent rig shots of it tbh. I got a 10 stop b+w filter yesterday though :D

Beautiful car, and I usually hate red.

Zinno, right? Looks so nice and clean. :)

Cheers :D When i was looking for another e30 to 24v i specifically didn't want a red one. But this one came along and its got very little rust. I really wanted a black or calypso red one :(

Zinno, right? Looks so nice and clean. :)

Nope, brilliant red. White balance is a mile out in the last pic so it looks like henna / zinnobar

This really is an awesome thread.

I love bright moon shots!

Matt - Commented on your flickr, but damn!

And to keep it on topic shot a friend this morning for some graduation shots, I never brought up money beforehand as it was a last minute thing and I needed a good reason to get up early (but she still gave me some which is always nice), was just using my cheap $75 craigslist special (28-80G) that stays on my D700 most of the time until I can afford what I really want but it's results can be alright after some post work.

Here's one I liked, others may make it to the flickr later, not sure.



Yeah, that's (mostly) fake bokeh, so sue me.
