Re: Discuss: Enchanted Rock State Natural Area

Yes, it is heavy!! I was looking at it a couple of days ago, or more to say drooling over it! I get excited just thinking about saving the money up for it!! But I have heavier lenses for my old Nikon, so it is all that bad!

That is one of the main reasons I have invested into the professional digital market, I can play around with shots and get immediate results. Then use that knowledge and take it to the manual Nikon. There is just something about film that still captures my inclination towards photography and I have to say that I am always far more excited when I am waiting for my film prints to come back from the developers! I think it is that wait and the suspense of not knowing exactly what you are going to get that keeps me enthralled in the analog/film world. But being broke all the time isn't so conducive to taking rolls and rolls of film.

I can't say that stop action is one of my favorites, but since the 300D has far less shutter lag than my old camera and takes bursts of 6pictures, I decided to get a few pictures of us out playing disc golf. But I generally lean more towards marcos and slow shutter speeds. That is one the main reasons I wanted the upgrade, I get to use a remote shutter button and can use the bulb setting and take some serious exposures - plus the having access to what really makes a picture, the lenses! I think night pictures and the strange contrast of light and dark you get is so appealing to my senses, and are generally my favorite shots to work with. But I do a lot of macros - mostly flowers because they are easy. But I like depth of field a whole lot too.

I guess this should be in the photography forums huh?!
