Some pictures from the Ventura County Fair. I was jumping back and forth between film and digital, and I think the better shots ended up on film. I’m probably going to end up going back on Friday, because I’m not satisfied with what I got.
And for magazines, I have to second Rangefinder. American Photography is pretty good too.
EDIT: To whoever left the youtube link to the “Gigaton Punch” thanks. It’s freakin’ awesome.
also, anyone have experience with those lenspen things? reviews i am reading seem kind of mixed - wondering if anyone has experience with them. right now im maintaining my lens with just a blower brush and a microfiber cloth…
i use a cheap quantrary tripod from RITZ (edit:they suck). its enough to support my 350D and a long lens. so no worries there. cost like 30 bux normally. dont get the one from walmart… it sucks too much.
i just got back from australia… here are a few i took. ill post a couple at a time.
during the day i use a circular polarizer. theres almost no reason not to. for the cityscapes… i might have had it on for some of them… but for the most part, youd want the reflection in the water so you really shouldnt use a polarizer. just the uv filter =D. it was raining on and off so i didnt want to take the uv off.
thanks for the comments.:wgrin:
how do you keep your camera dry? i thought about wrapping it in a ziplock with the lens sticking out and a couple holes for the strap… or even ceramwrap. a lens hood probably would have been nice too. keep the specks of water off my lens and prevent the lens flares. i kinda like the flares tho…
