Lets see them.

I'm off/on with photography. I have a Nikon D70 I used from 2002 on, and a newer D300. I haven't been shooting in so long, though, I don't know where it is.

Photography is an art which create reality of peoples on images. It need a camera to capture images. There are various varieties of camera which create well imagination of real look as good remembering.

Show us the pics Dude!

Dad has a Canon Eos 5D and I can use it sometimes but not very often. I have a 12.1 MP Sony Cyber-shot. Yeah its not a serious camera but it fits in my pocket and I take tons of pictures with it. I joined a photography forum and I'm learning about composition and lighting. I hope I can get a better camera soon.

I think what is great about the explosion of high end point and shoots, cell phone cameras, and even instagram is the accessibility it gives people to taking great photos. The camera doesn't make the photo, the photographer does. I have friends that do AMAZING things with just their iPhone cameras. Composition, subject matter, and lighting always win out.

Those are lovely photos Paul!

Am I a photographer? Nope... don't know the first thing about it
Do I have a decent camera? No way, it's a cheap digital thing, couldn't even tell you the brand, and it has a smashed display screen which annoys me greatly
Do I know how to edit pics? Nuh uh, I usually stuff them completely when I try! LOL

People do tell me I take good photos though, so I don't know what to do about it, I'd love to know more about what I could do with good photos if I take them, cause even the ones I think are pretty nice just sit on my hard drive and never get seen

You could join deviantart and post them there, see if you get good reviews.

DeviantArt is a good site, or even Flickr. I have a few friends who pride themselves on their photos and they set up Etsy stores to sell prints and make a few bucks on the side.

[Ratbag]

good suggestions, what about people copying from the site though, can't they just copy them off/ download / printscreen them? Paul have you ever had anything like that happen? I actually have a deviantArt account I created once to veiw a friends art, (if I can remember it) hadn't known they had much photography there before.

People often will water mark their work. or only put a 72dpi lower resolution version online. This allows you to share, but protects your high resolution copy.

[Ratbag]

The marking I've seen, either I feel ruins it or would be easily removed by the people that do those sorts of things.... the low res! Duh.... slaps forehead.. friggin brilliant LOL you gonna show us some of your pics Manu? You did start this thread...

[Geoffrey]

I've been on the fence for a T3i, but found I rarely use my dSLR as it is. I take 99% of my pics with my iPhone 4

[Mrmint]

one of my friends that uses this website does photography :O

I'm a bit of a nomad for the next few weeks, once I get settled in my new place I'll post some up!

[Ratbag]

well if I can work out how I might just reciprocate

[BooRadley]

I always post a small, reduced quality image. Drop the resolution to 72dbi, and also scale it down and compress (reduce quality). You can't print those worth a damn. Makes a huge diff. Here's a picture I posted recently, as I posted it:



Here's a 95% quality (the extra 5 percent makes a huge diff in file size) crop of the front bumper, at full size.



The full size image at full quality would print very well, but I never post that anywhere, on any of it.
