Paul P Posted December 9, 2009 Share #252 Posted December 9, 2009 What about something more permanent like a private photo album? Something similar to what a few photographers have here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68 Subway Car Posted December 16, 2009 Share #253 Posted December 16, 2009 I want to get some good underground train shots (like of moving trains) and take better indoor pictures so I planning to get the Canon S90 for Christmas. I will keep the S5 IS for outdoor shots, but my main camera will be this one because my school activities has me staying back late at school. I finally want to start preparing for moving to DSLR and this is a good step. What do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted December 16, 2009 Share #254 Posted December 16, 2009 I had an S5 IS, It was good for outside but inside it would have green lines in any photo that had florescent light. Personally I would just go to a dSLR, the Rebel XS is not much bigger than the S5 and you get a lot more quality. I havent been to teh city yet to test mine out but it works great for outdoor shots of trains. It all depends on your budget, how much you have to spend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the Nikon D40 kit for about the same price or a little more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted December 16, 2009 Share #256 Posted December 16, 2009 For that price I would go with the Nikon D40. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted December 22, 2009 Share #257 Posted December 22, 2009 Hey it turns out that we have the same camera I got it in red. First set it in Auto Mode, then go to the menu to a icon that says Continuous then go there select "BSS". Then exit out and press the the exposure button at 3 o'clock on the d-pad and set it to -0.3. I imagine you know how to change the white balance so change it to "Fluorescent". You should now be able to take wonderful pictures underground and in low light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSpectacular Posted December 22, 2009 Share #258 Posted December 22, 2009 I'm making do with my puny little Nikon Coolpix 5600 from 2005 for pictures. I'm basically trying to squeeze out some performance from it, so far it does me well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted December 22, 2009 Share #260 Posted December 22, 2009 Anyone here with dSLRs have a straight 50mm lens particularly the Canon 50mm EF f1.8, how are they in terms of taking pictures in the subway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share #261 Posted December 22, 2009 Anyone here with dSLRs have a straight 50mm lens particularly the Canon 50mm EF f1.8, how are they in terms of taking pictures in the subway? At F/1.8 that would be a good lens to use in the subway. The lower the "F" number the bigger the aperture, which means more light entering the lens. You can't go wrong with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted December 22, 2009 Share #262 Posted December 22, 2009 Well I'll take a crack at this in terms of getting the subway shots you want. With the lens being wide-open like that at F/1.8, it allows for more light and therefore using rather reasonale shutter speeds for underground shots and moving trains. I don't have a lens such as that you describe but I do plan on getting on for the DSLR I have because the 3200 level ISO that is on my camera isn't enough for really well lit underground photos of moving trains..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted December 22, 2009 Share #264 Posted December 22, 2009 A 50mm lens on a crop sensor can be a bit tough to use underground. Also note that when shooting wide open, nailing the focus is essential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50 mm does have auto focus however 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 23, 2009 Share #267 Posted December 23, 2009 AF isn't foolproof, sometimes it's better to focus on a specific spot, then release the shutter as soon as the train rolls into that spot. Are you comfortable with the field of view that a 50mm lens would provide you with? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted December 23, 2009 Share #269 Posted December 23, 2009 Fifties are golden on full-frame cameras, but they're a bit tight when you use them on a crop sensor. It's the main reason why my 50 usually stays in my bag, where my 35mm f/2 practically lives on my camera. I've got a number of lenses, if you're interested i'd be willing to meet up with you so you can try them out before you go out and buy something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 23, 2009 Share #270 Posted December 23, 2009 A fast fifty is nice lens to own, but in some situations I do find it to be a bit "long". A fast 35mm is my glass of choice for underground subway shots and what not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and it wasnt like it was an expensive lens new anyway) As for getting together, I aint going anywhere untill this weather warms up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted December 27, 2009 Share #272 Posted December 27, 2009 I've been looking into photo hosting sites (free or $) with your own domain, can anyone recommend from experience?

I think there may be more solutions though. Give it a try though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted December 27, 2009 Share #274 Posted December 27, 2009 You will need to google to see if theres any.. You have a few choices... -Fine a better Image Hosting company -Pay up for Premium service, more bandwidth, Extra Storage, etc. (Photobucket has it) -Delete or move your photos. Or create a new account with another email/User name -Apply for Free or low cost Web Hosting, which you can store your images online on your own web host and even create a website gallery. Like my website, i have a Wallpaper Gallery which I have photos stored on my server.. And show to others. Even tho I pay for my server and domain.. (Which included main website(forum), gallery, blog) *Note that if you buy a server, and want to create a Website Gallery, you will need a Sub-Domain/Domain Sub- yourwebsitename.abc123.com (Free or cost) Domain- yourwebsitename.com (Cost Money, /yr, unless you get free domain like .cc or .tk) .com, .net .info what ever.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted December 27, 2009 Share #275 Posted December 27, 2009 If you have an old desktop and are willing to convert to a server, you can manage it right from home without it costing you a dime. (Except the hdd is that needs upgrading) If not, you can always go with webhosting plans, (I use Hosting24) where you can just install gallery software and manage your pics from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
