KingCrimson Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 What's everyone out there shooting this year? The only camera I use is my 25 year old Olympus OM-G SLR. It's pretty, it's light, and it takes a damn good picture. (Or maybe that's just me) Let me rub something in, just for you digital junkies.. I NEVER get burnt out highlights. Even in snow. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotbeans Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I need to spend a little more time with my viosport helmet cam. I wish I had another to compare pic quality with as I'm not entirely happy with the resolution and image stabilization.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishrising Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 From an SLR perspective, Olympus E-1, E-500, and soon either the E-3 or E-30 and a whole slew of lenses. From point and shoot, a Canon SD630 and Sony DSC-W1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I am actually looking forward to shooting more with my Hasselblad this winter. It's a great camera and somehow it can make a shot look timeless just from the film format. So I am looking to do more portraits of my favorite spots on the mountain. Maybe with a small skier or rider in there somewhere. Would love to get a D90 too for all around use. I get pretty terrific results with my D70 too, but I am selfish with my time and don't take up the cams too much anymore, cuz I usually only have a few runs at a time to rip and I don't let anything come between me and my carving. Here are some mostly weddings and portraits. At the very bottom is a shot with the Blad out of a plane flying around Baldy. Pretty cool. I had to crop out the wing strut but shooting at 500th at F8 and infinity it's pretty sharp. http://jerryhadamphoto.blogspot.com/ This is from a bunch of river trips. I post these up for the trip participants so there is almost every shot from the trip to show everyone's runs and individual shots etc. http://idahorivertime.blogspot.com/ The first link is a mix of D70, Hasselblad, N90, F3, 8008 and a bunch of others. The river shots are almost all D70. Prime lenses mostly. 20mm 2.8, 60 micro 2.8, and an 80-200 2.8 zoom that is unbelievably sharp for being a zoom.

boarderboy Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 5 MP, $19.95 open box off the 'Bay... heh, heh If I had the cash, probably a Canon G10 - small, tough, and non-SLR liabilities be damned... The SLR's (and I shot with em for 40 years) are just too big, heavy, and tech-centric... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Canon 1D Mk IIn, a 40D, and a Pentax K1000. Film's nice, but you have to get very lucky or spend a lot of money to get that perfect action shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yeah, I'm not planning on shooting any action with my SLR. Way too expensive. I was just curious who uses what for shooting snow. Jerry- You mean one of the three Baldy's ;) There's down here and one in Canada too. Pretty cool pictures!

carvedog Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Jerry- You mean one of the three Baldy's ;) There's down here and one in Canada too. Pretty cool pictures! Thanks for the pics stoke. I know there are other Baldy's but there is only one for me. That be Bald Mountain, Sun Valley Resort...Central Idaho. Yeah the one without any snow right now. It will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Tell me about it. The resorts down here are opening this week..with small jib runs. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Sorry for the poor quality of this pic, i had to do it on my phone for obvious reasons. Sure I'd love to have a D300 or a D3, but my D200 has great colors, shoots enough FPS for my purposes, and 10.2MP is enough for a beautiful 16x20. I also have a SB800 speedlight, and the built in wireless TTL flash is probably one of the most significant steps forward in camera tech in the last ten years and is the absolute shiznit. later, Dave R. .

KingCrimson Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Meatwad lens much. What is that? It's always best to take the haunting photos of the camera..that it took of itself.. 50mm 1.8 Zuiko Prime. Takes a purdy purdy pitcher. Cropped 'n flipped. Just noticed I didn't scan the neg straight AT ALL. Oh well, thanks to Mr. Computer, that's no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 It's an 80-200 2.8 AF-S. It's one of the sharpest zooms nikon has ever made. It was only made for about five years so they are getting rarer lately. On the D200 however, it's a 120-300 2.8 later, Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Gotta be super desirable having a Nikon bayonet too. See how relatively clean my lens is? I like that. 25 years old and there's only a little spotting. Might be from my crap job developing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Does this count? Some a**hole kept screwing up my composition though. Sorry about the lumberjack shirt, I am Canadian remember? The DOF gets a little tight at this aperature and focus distance, it's around 2 inches in this case. Shot at only 1/30s so any blur is from me shaking the camera. later, Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it wasn't weatherproof like my other lens for this camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was your aperature open if you had 1/30 exposure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least 5 versions of this lens (at least 4 optical variations.) Some have 6E, 5G. The last version is reputed to be best. It has the marking, "made in Japan", on the front ring.

mr_roboteye Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Why was your aperature open if you had 1/30 exposure? I don't quite understand what your question is. To answer your question literally, my aperature was open (wide open) because there wasn't enough light in my bathroom to get a correct exposure while still shooting at ISO 400. I would have had to shoot at 1/8 sec. at ISO 100. later, Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 You mentioned bad DOF, I would've brought it up to more like ISO 400 or 600 and closed the aperature to maybe 8 and exposed it less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Or I could have just used a tripod:)later, Dave R. DOF still would have been poopy! Tends to be a problem doing closeups of a lens when the lens is 8 inches long. I want to make a pinhole camera. Infinite DOF is scary. Here, check these out. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. These cameras are twisted! http://www.boyofblue.com/cameras/hiv.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Something ain't kosher. I'm 5109555 I don't know anything about Olympus's newer stuff, but wouldn't that be new enough to use Four-Thirds? How do you have an OM on there? Did you really like the lens enough to get an adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really like the lens enough to get an adapter? Yes, OM to 4/3rds adapter so I can use my old glass. But I went and bought digital 4/3rds glass anyways. But its still fun to pull out the old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
