Could have been posed better, I find that the hardest thing to do in photoshoots is posing your models
also better lighting perhaps? what was your setup.

does anyone know how to disable the auto edit thing at LR3.. cause when i usually import RAW files in it and click develop, it automatically changes the contrast, exposure, etc..
this only happens when i import RAW and not jpeg

D3100. D60 is an older model. The D40x is about as old and (I think) a better camera. That was my first camera.
But here's the deal--
Nikon makes AWESOME cameras. Canon makes AWESOME cameras.
Depending on how deep you wanna take this and how much money you wanna spend on photography, Canon has the (kind of arguably) better lens line-up at a lower cost, unless you're looking for zoom lenses for birding and nature photography.
I think your best bet right now is a T1i or a T2i for a beginner, but that's just me. I was originally a Nikon guy, then when I went to purchase my current camera I made the switch.
If you wanna buy used, a 20D or a 30D are awesome Canon cameras too, although if you're purchasing a camera that old you should just grab a D40x and be happy with it. I still carry mine to every shoot I do.
And for SgtPeppers, 175 is a great deal. Congratulations. That's a

Thanks, man.
Canon 1Ds Mark II
50mm f/1.8
AB800 camera right, 1/8 power
SB600 mounted, bounce off ceiling
Standard studio lamp camera left
(The other AB800 has disappeared from the studio. I think a professor has it.)
The ring flash was created in PP. The reflection of the AB800 in the right eye with the studio lamp in the left
wasn't accomplishing the look that the campaign needs-- too inconsistent and not gentle/"mysterious" enough.
Simply created with a white circle + Gaussian blur + 40% opacity after removing the original reflections in the eyes.
Post processing consisted of:
B/W conversion
Color correction
High Pass sharpening at 20% opacity x 2 (I think?)
And making the top half of the background black
(I shot against black velvet, but for this shot I was standing on a chair and the top half wasn't completely black.)
Guy was super easy to work with. One of those "You're the photographer, you do your thing and just tell me what I need to do," situations. Great guy.

About to upgrade to my first DSLR: Nikon D3100.
I've been getting shown love all over my city for my beginner automotive photography from car shows & bike shows.
I've learned the basic features of a DSLR (aperture, priority, manual) from my Nikon Coolpix P100.
Here are some of my pictures:

Treb2k5:
You have a really good start! Definitely time for a DSLR. Your recognition of proper exposure looks really good.
Some things to focus on: (no pun intended)
• Composition: In a lot of those photos, the edges of your subjects are out of the frame, like the bottom of the tire
on the last photo.
• Color correction: I personally think photos look better with a more natural WB and contrast.
You really do have a good grasp on photography. Don't be afraid to buy a camera above the entry-level ones
since you already seem to know what you're doing. I'm afraid if you just grab the 3100 you'll shoot with it for
6 months, realize you're looking for more, and then have to sell it and buy something better. A Canon 40D
or Nikon D300s wouldn't be a bad place to start.
desolation1:
Depending on the camera, you'll definitely want a wide angle, but the kit lens actually isn't a bad lens for that
if you have an external flash. As for the flash, you can go for the big boy and get a 580EXII/SB900 (Canon/Nikon)
OR you can grab a Sunpak flash that just has a rotating head and manual settings and save a couple hundred bucks.
I went the latter route, personally.

Thanks for the positive feedback & constructive criticism.
I don't think I'd want to spend that much money on a camera & not use all of the features.
I'll start off with the D3100, learn more, & improve my weaknesses.
Then, If I feel comfortable enough, move on to something w/ more features & options that I'll use.
Here's a logo that I came up with for my photography (made by my cousin):
Tre' B. Photography.
The 3 B's are my brother initials (Bryen Bradley Brown). He was killed on August 4th, 2010 in a car accident.
He was going to name his production company 3B Ent (3B = Bryen B. Brown). Since he never got the chance to create it, I'm combining the two.
So when they see me, they see my brother. Keeping his name alive.

Can someone explain this to me? Not really understanding crop sensors and such? And which camera bodies have what?

Well, just think of what a cropped photo is, like when you crop your photo on Facebook. The crop factor on the t1i is 1.6x, so say you wanted to get a 11mm fish eye lens. Attach that to a t1i and you actually get the effect of an 18mm lens (because 1.6 x 11 is about 1
. What solemunchies is trying to say is that a full frame camera, like the 5d mkII, with a 11mm fish eye would yield the best result because the pictures you take aren't cropped.

I was thinking of getting the p100 instead but not sure if I needed the extra features. Just need something that will take good pictures of someone moving.

As of right now, I have a Canon XSI, but I'd like to upgrade to a camera with video capabilities. Also, as stated above, with the crop body and such, I have a tamron lens, I think 17-50 2.8, and it was said that it is a wide angle lens, but I just don't see much difference. What would be a good camera body that would work well with the lens and has video?
