New set up!

I didn't get credit for it, but that's okay. I'm not super interested in that whole shebang anymore. But I will certainly still take pictures for those who ask! I'd love to expand my portfolio.

Here's Lylee's set

Feeling discouraged.





After joining, I realised just how many talented photographers there are on this site! Good gravy. Now I'm not so sure my plan of becoming a staff photographer is going to solidify. I see so many fantastic sets, but they're not chosen - even for YEARS!
Who makes the cut? Who does the choosing? Do they even need more photographers?
Maybe this whole idea was a waste of time. I'd love to shoot more models though, so I hope I'll connect with new people and win some gigs out of the deal, if anything.

More new lens.
Yay!

Took some pictures on Wednesday of a lovely lady. I hope she doesn't mind me posting this photo. This was done with my D50 and my new 1.4mm lens. I was quite happy with the DOF. Though this doesn't entirely showcase it's glory, this picture was one of my favourites from that day. Gotta do the cliche model pose

I went out and bought myself a pretty new lens. Oh yes, it's so pretty. It's also so popular that noone in the surrounding 3 cities had any in stock! I bought the floor model, for a small discounted price. Not a single mark on it, and wow does it take nice pictures.

I shoot Nikon and it has never betrayed me! I've stuck with it for years, and even bought a Nikon point and shoot! (Maybe not the best camera in it's class, but it was blue...)

So! I'm currently a poor student, so I am only shooting with a D50 and D40. The lens I bought is this gorgeous little thing:



Yes, you read that right - f/1.4

I have a shoot lined up for tomorrow (not Suicide, but I wish) and I plan to test this puppy out! It's an outdoor shoot, so I wont be able to test the low light functionality, but I will be able to get an insane amount of DOF. That's my favourite thing about photography, and I can't wait to get home to look at all the photos.

I was almost tempted to buy a reflector yesterday as well. I'll save that for Christmas. A mcgyver reflector made out of a giant foam core board works juuust fine.

Wish me luck!

I love women, I think they're gorgeous especially when they're a little different from the norm. Piercings, tats, attitude. My kinda ladies! I'd love to take photos of them for a living, and hope to do so by joining the community!
