So who all on naxja is into photography? If you are post up some of your pics or just share what kind of camera you are using!

My wife and I were professional photographers for many years. I shot large and medium format for years. I now shoot a cheap Nikon D5000 and do HDR.

Do a search, there's been a few threads regarding NAXJA

and our photographic members. Also, check out the Picture forum. I know users can't post there, but I think you can read.

I've been using a Canon PowerShot 120 IS lately and love it.

mxracer624 · Oct 14, 2010

very cool man! is it a point and shoot or dslr type?
I def enjoy taking pics like the water wheel one you have. I totally dig the way waterfalls look when you turn the aperture up and the slow the shutter speed down to create the foggy looking water!

oh oh me! old busted ass canon digital rebel XT with a couple lenses.

flickr link in the sig yo.

Nikon D80 here with an 18-200 DX lens and a 50mm 1.8.

Rumors of a new D800. Basiccly a D700 with 1080P video and the sensor from a D3s. Stable down well below 12000 ISO with no or little noise.

I WILL own one of these.

Done a few of those. Close to one of the last rolls of film I shot. I did a 5 min. exposure of the wagon on the side of a road in northern Nevada. Shot came out pretty good,... Cool effects. Sorry, no copy to post online. Haven't done any digital conversions, so it's all hard copy.

I'm strictly amateur when it comes to the photo stuff. Current camera is a point&shoot Cannon powershot A-560(about 4 years old, 7mp) It's OK. Takes good pics, but I don't really like the camera itself(no apparent reason, just a general "meh" feeling about it.

'Last film camera was a Cannon EOS Rebel with a 28-80 EF series zoom lens, which I hated. Probably had something to do with my stubborn insistence that the damn thing should be able to take a picture without wrestling with it for 45 seconds first. Maybe if I'd read the manual,...

My first(and best) film camera was a Pentax ME super. Almost full manual, but it did have a built-in light meter and an automatic aperture mode for when I wanted to be lazy. Eventually had a pretty big collection of glass for it, including a truly enormous 500mm lens. That thing was great.

I've got a really old Olympus something or other, picked it up at a garage sale years ago. I've gathered a collection of lenses for it, from super wide angle fisheyes to creepy neighbor 800mm lenses, they're all fun. Film photography has been a side hobby of mine since I was old enough to understand it, I develop em too. Don't have any digital copies of my film, but here's a few taken with various DSLRs. The files are huge though, so these are downsized (read: lower quality).

Mt. Evans area

LOL

From when I ran the stables at a summer camp... encouraging the kid to get on a horse cause he was afraid of em.

Buddy of mine on a rock

Mt. Bierstadt, easiest 14er ever.

Mt. Evans area

Valley right below Mt. Evans

Mt. Evans area. That Bristlecone Pine tree is one of the oldest trees in the world. Cool chit.

Camping

On an island off the coast of B.C.

Same island, in a kayak

This one's my desktop background.

More island

This one won me money

It's a 10mp point and shoot that is pretty adjustable. This is a just taken picture of AMT's 1/25 2009 Challenger R/T that I just finished building a few hours ago, and that glitter does show up amazing well with it set on 10mp.

I can't remember what setting I had the camera on for those pics, I was just running around Silver Dollar City taking random pictures that I thought looked like they'd be cool.

I have an Nikon F-90X (F-90S in USA, bought it in France) primary camera after my dads N-90 died.

I also collect cameras (Also use them): Yashicamat medium format TLR, a Zenit Photosniper and a MC zenit 16mm fisheye.

I built a Darkroom in my basement in 11th grade. kinda stopped practicing since HS, now looking into a 5D MKII, since I gave my Rebel XT to my sister. oh also my pride and joy is my sigma 70-200 f/2.8 which is sadly under used.

Mosephus · Oct 16, 2010

I'm a pet photographer, I still use a very cheap Nikon D40(easy on my computer) with good glass. I've still got alot to learn as always, I want to start putting a little studio together sooner than later.
