Camera Talk

[Spenner]

It's about time. I'm pretty fucking nerdy when it comes to all things camera related. You are welcome to show photos here, please use spoiler tags if it is large.

Few questions:
-What type(s) of photography are your favourite
-Do you have either a favourite photographer or a favourite photo?
-What camera equipment do you own?
-Out of what you own, what gets used the much and which do you enjoy the most?

Answers:
-For me my favourite photography is REALLY good scenery+portraiture combos.. like girl in white dress in a dread forest sorta thing. Honestly though anything just perfectly shot and sharp is admirable to me.
-I don't, actually. I just follow the Canonrumour forums. So far my fav pic I've taken is this guy with my macro lens (newest one).
-Fuck this question it makes me sad lol. I've owned (the kitlens too) and a 100mm f/2.8 (non IS) macro, upgrade to the MP-E 65m specialized lens. I own a 10-22mm wide angle lens (rocks!) both a 50mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/1.4. I use one more than the other... And last but nothing matches the fidelity of my 70-00mm f/2.8 IS. Just got a fairly basic tripod and a 430 with a remote wire.
-The BODY I have is a Canon 6D, it seemed like the perfect choice for me.

Dream build: two options - 1DX II and all necessary lenses
- Some future 1.6x crop body that comes around with full frame performance from canon. Sigma has the 18-35mm f/1.8, and now they have the fucking 50-100 f/1.8 lens now. With an extender, and because all those focal lengths are times 1.6x (they always say the full frame equivalents..) keeping my wide angle lens, having 80mm f/1.8 in itself a BEAUTIFUL portrait lens. Dunno man.

-What type(s) of photography are your favourite

Macro photography and landscape photography.

-Do you have either a favourite photographer or a favourite photo?

Not really.

-What camera equipment do you own?

Camera: Canon EOS Rebel SL1, which is technically a "beginner's DSLR" but I'm still impressed by it.

Lens: The above camera came with a Canon 18-55 mm lens of f/3.5-5.6. But since my hobby is crystal/mineral photography, I need macro lens, so I use Canon EFS 60 mm lens of f/2.8.

I also have a tripod, a mini flexible "spider" tripod (I don't use this a lot anymore), a portable light box kit, polarized lens cap, and a remote shutter device (big time saver for me).

-Out of what you own, what gets used the most and which do you enjoy the most?

The remote control shutter is invaluable to me; I use it all the time now. Pressing the actual shutter button on the camera - or anything that creates movement/vibration - is always a pain when it comes to macro photography.

And of course, the light box is also invaluable. Easy to set up a small set with diffuse lights and a clean background.

Macro fans have to be a bit OCD about how everything's set up. It's good to see you picked up the 60mm f/2.8 honestly glass is worth every penny to me... assuming it's resale value doesn't go way down!

I can't even take macro shots in my 3 story walkup because I have 3 stories of vibrations happening, and at 5:1 zoom it's a very shakey shot, even with a ton of yoga mats under the tripod.

Cool little setup bmah. No shame in the SL1, only this year did I go from the canion T1i to 6D. That camera you got will teach you almost everything.

Ever considered getting tubes for your lens? Really heavily debated it for awhile but decided against it for now. It might amaze you with some of the results.
