i am kinda new to photography, but i think i got some good stuff!
i have; Canon EOS Digital Rebel, lens=Sigma diameter=58mm range=70-300mm 1:4-5.6, Sigma diameter=55mm range=28-90mm, i also have ultravoilet and regular lens covers for both lenses, i have a cushioned carring bag, and that's about it!
oh, i am 13 years old. does this thing have a spell check?
i don't see how anybody can make even a little profit by selling pictures, any hints?
i think i might be a bit spoiled....:D

i have a DELL DIMENSION XPS GEN 4, with 2 GIG of RAM, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40 GHz, 300 GB hard drive type RAID 0, so i have a top of the line computer!

hope i will learn some cool stuff! try to be back tommorow!
(i have school tommorow, :humungus :humungus :humungus )

2 gig ram

cant that much ram actually start to have a neg effect ?

wxwax · February 3, 2005

Hiyo Silver,

take lots of pics. Shoot like it's going out of style. Study pics you really like and steal their ideas.

There's a hint for you! And post yer pics, we want to see 'em.

NO! 2 GIG of RAM can't be bad! it means i never get above 50% proccesing, alltho, when i used a shortcut, and opened 83 interenet exsplorer applications as fast as i could, i managed to allmost top 100%!
i also have 5.1 surround sound! and i love pretty much everything that uses a proccesor.
i learned some neat stuff from a site, like, have you heard of a Mayback? (it's a kind of car) or how about the, Chrysler ME four-twelve? bet you haven't! in a bit, i will upload pics of some neat cars, like the Chrysler ME four-twelve.(i didn't take the pics :uhoh ). i allways say when i post somebody else's stuff on my site.
has anybody heard of the, Bugatti Veyron? it has 1001 horsepower!

sadly, smugmug is only for pics, does anybody know of a place where i can upload things like Microsoft Word Documents? or files?
my fav free game is Firewall. i give a link to it, just a sec.....

Forget about the "size" of your equipment. Let's see some of your images. Why not take a drive and do some shooting? Oh, that's right...you're too young to have a license.

Welcome to the forum.

Hmmm, speaking this way to a moderator who is welcoming you to the forum and encouraging you to share some pictures is probably no the best way to start off.

I looked at the pictures of the cars on your site. Did you take them?

Never mind, my guess is you wont be around long enough for me to be interested.

Welcome Silver,

Ya know, tha Fish is right!!! Equipment comes secondary to the pics

Minolta Dimage S404, no post processing (didn't even know how back then) Gimme one of those shots with your toy and you've got me convinced

then you can start throwing your better equipment in my face

Anyway, welcome and share the fun of this forum!!!

my link is from the dutch google

Anyway, nice shot that butterfly! Good DOF and nice colours!

blackwaterstudio · February 7, 2005

I took a look at your gallery, a word to the wise, you have posted other's work do you have written permission to do this? I'm guessing not. Might want to remove the photo's taken by someone else off your smugmug account.

Hi David,

welcome.. some nice sports stuff and butterfly shots

This is a great site to learn photography, at least I've found it so. Some great people too with lots of experience to learn from. Enjoy!
Lynn
p.s. I agree with jds.. we try not to post any shots that were taken by anyone else for any reason unless we have express permission from the artist.. just like I would never take one of yours without your permission.. it's a legality/ethics thing.

Good point JDS. I checked the site, and you do have some good stuff. I would suggest taking the pictures down that are not yours, or at the very least not sell them.

Dave

silver666666 · February 9, 2005

ya, i will make it none sellable,

digital faerie · February 14, 2005

saw the butterfly pics and really liked them. Very impressive for such a young man as yourself! Stick with it because in 10 years you'll probably be as recognizeable as Ansel!
