any help?

sorry if I don't make any sense..

What you need to do is called panning. You basically follow the subject with the camera at the same speed so that they're in focus, buteverything in the background is blurred/in motion. That's what homie with the car pics was doing, that's why his are spectacular and yours could becleaner. I haven't personally tried it, but apparently it's not terribly easy. Hope that helps!

A couple days ago I posted about buying a D90 used for $850. Well, I didn't do it BUT I did get the D90, new off BHphoto. Figure I was spending so muchmoney might as well go all out and the safe route, so I cop'd it new. NOW my questions... two of them:

Lens - 50mm 1.8 OR 35mm for the D90?

Also, my cam should arrive today but before I open it any news from PMA (specifically from Nikon, regarding a rumor new entry level dslr to replace theD40/60). As of now the blogs I usually read haven't reported anything major besides somethings expected (like a list of P&S) and the new PanasonicDMC-GH1. Let me know...

Ohh, the ice skating, definitely try panning, I don't find it to hard, place the camera on burst mode and follow your subject before they get to youthrough the view finder and all the way until they are out of view... if that makes any sense. I found videos on youtube, try keywords: photography panning

Sup yo,

 

[j paycheck]

^I've seen ya pics often and even checked out the Flickr, I enjoy it. Question, when taking pictures of strangers do yo be sooooo far away they don'teven see you, do you ask for permission, perhaps shooting from waist level or in a discreet fashion, or you just dont give a sugar... how do you make it work.

One thing I haven't been able to build is being bold and just shooting at a stranger in his/her face! LOL You ever get the "hey did you just take apicture of me?" (perhaps followed by a seen).

Good stuff!

In case it was missed (last post on previous page), 35mm or 50mm on a D90? Nothing major drop from Nikon at PMA I guess?

I don't know the details on the D90, but if it's a cropped body, I would get the 35mm as it should really have the effect of a 50mm lens (52mm,actually). 50mm comes out to roughly 65mm or something like that on a cropped sensor camera. It's ultimately up to you.

35mm f/2 with a D90: http://www.pixel-peeper.c...p;exp_max=none&res=3

50mm f/1.8 with a D90: http://www.pixel-peeper.c...p;exp_max=none&res=3

Rap Sizzle, what event was it that you shot in your last post?

 

[rap sizzle]

MAFA 09 - Midwest Association of Filipino Americans...an event where Filipino student organizations from midwest universities attend workshops, network andthen party after. The dance one is from Battle of the Bamboo...a dance competition between the same organizations. It's usually a separate event butbecause the school that hosts the competition coincidentally was this year's host for MAFA they combined the two in one weekend.

[elboricua 6]

d40 d50 d60 I think is all the same crap .. I can be wrong

Rap - Whats good man .. no answer .. does this mean NO or LEAVE ME THE F ALONE? lol

 

[lacetrix]

D50/ D70 > D40.

D50/D70 has a flash sync speed up to 1/500
Both D50 and D70 has auto focus for older lens.


Get the D50 or D70 plus the cash and get some accessories.

Fong, it was a benefit for a local writer and the walls were provided by "Undisputed" Training Center. You can see the finish pieces ifyou search for WSTECH's photostream on flickr. No need for me to repost the images. He did a good job taking pictures of the final pieces.
