PICK A PHOTO SUBJECT TO CAPTURE

pstyletto: Something fun, that I've done before.. Within a group, SOMEONE picks a photo subject and we all have 1 full week to capture and share the image here. This allows us to share different ideas on editing, angles, lighting etc. Subjects can be anything from a bridge, old cars, gas pumps, butterflies..... Anything

pstyletto: Hey Sno... lets get a few more people involved before we start. Im kinda new to Wireclub so maybe I posted this in the wrong spot. Advise if you know otherwise. And you'll need to be more specific with nature.. trees, streams, animals... etc. Nature is too open

pstyletto: lol... Im cool without a badge and dont have that much time.. But I would like to see what others have to offer on here in the way of photos and photo editing.

pstyletto: I saw the mountain shots... very nice !

pstyletto: Somedays, I think if I were to photograph a horse show for "shits and giggles" I'd be so much happier.. No stress then. lol

pstyletto: well then... you and I will have to get started on photo taking/editing/sharing. Others can join if they wanna.

pstyletto: see... incentive for me to get my butt out of bed earlier than I normally do !

Loup_: I'm game for this challenge personally.

pstyletto: Hi Loup ! Lets try to get a few more and go from there. Hey Rome wasn't built in a day, right ?

Loup_: Not at all. Patience is a virtue as they say.

pstyletto: Hey Loup... guess its just you and me so far. What sort of topics interest you, photography wise ?

Loup_: At the local exhibition the challenge for the photographers was "silhouette or shadow." We had to come up with a few images of either one that suited us. I chose a few shots that played with shadow.

In general I like nature more than I like people; people don't ever sit still!

sakuravattey: ohhh i just find the people who interest in photographie here too. Can i be in the group? I like taking natural picture.... I hope i can learn more from you guys. Let set up a topic / assignment.

pstyletto: Id love to ! But I think it may be just you and I, at the moment.

Brianni Nicole: As a photographer myself, I would LOVE to participate!! I have already shared quite a few photographs online, so I think it would be awesome to see everyone's work!

sakuravattey: that's great.... it is always in my passion talking about photography, anyway i just start my first step in photography and i dont know much yet what to go.
what is your suggestion about the camera for the beginner like me? I have a limited budget and i am not sure if i should get canon or nikon as i never have professional camera so far.
Please advice me. Thanks ...

Brianni Nicole: Canon or Nikon (or one of the other manufacturers), is simply a matter of personal choice. Pick up a good book on digital photography and it will provide some guidelines for the type of equipment and features you will need. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get started. You should be able to buy a camera outfit for less than $300.00.

For example, I started out with a Nikon back in 35mm days. My first digital camera was a Canon EOS 50d. I think I paid somewhere around $1,500.00. It is a VERY good camera for beginners or advanced-level photographers. It has subsequently been upgraded and the new model is the Canon EOS 60d. A Canon 60d will set you back about $2,000.00.

I use a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and my backup camera is a Canon EOS 7D. Like any hobby, the sky is the limit as far as purchasing equipment. I'm sure you would never need, nor want to spend what I have for equipment, but the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III body cost me about $6,500.
