The Nerd Photography Thread

[frankfast]

ya it helps me and the wife both want to get into photography, and figured someday we will upgrade camera but mine as well get good lens now,

funny true story we both ended up getting each other the nikon d3200's for xmas, and when i opened mine i started laughing my ass off, and she couldn't figure out why till she opened hers

Well I don't have a fancy DSLR, just a point and shoot Nikon Coolpix. Got about $350ish locked up in my whole set up (Cam and accessories).

If anyone wants to adjust/critique feel free. I generally wont mess with my pics (colors and such) b/c I would just fuck the shit up worse. I do crop and sharpen though.

I just started this shit cuz I was so impressed by Sub, TC, and Ocan and how they took such beautiful shots. Read Sub's tutorial on pic's and was on my way. Been addicted to taking pic's of dank ever since.

Yeah, i have a Nikon D80. Not the greatest, but she will do the job. I just need a good/cheap macro lens, and some photography lessons/videos.
Anyone it ideas on ether of those? haha

Hands down one of the best, you pay a monthly fee $37.50 (I think they have a free trial) and learn what you want I'll be using the shit out it in the next couple months.

that is a kit lens that prob came with your cam....it is an all-around general lens...it is not a macro though.....all of my shots up to this point were taken with an 18-55 kit lens, but i have just upgraded so i can get a little closer, and a little further away with decent clarity and focus......i am selling one of my macros.....anybody want it for 1/2 the price?

i will sell it to a fellow nerd for $200....almost brand new.....it is a Nikon mount.

Ha I just bought this lens. I love it tho. Is this the lens you used on so many of the shots you took Nug?

naw, i rarely use it...i have taken some macros just a few times....some are up on TGA's website, but macro just has never been my thing....95% of my shots up to this point has been taken with my cheap 18-55 kit lens that just took a shit on me...the auto focus.....so i just upgraded to a 17-70mm, for my bud shots, and my full plant shots....i use really cheap gear right now until i get good, then i may upgrade my cam....

 

[nugbuckets]

these are the strobes i use for my full plant shots....

you can find them for under $600 if you look around.......

i only use 2 of them, so i would recommend buying the 2 pack for what we do....they do eat up some space...

Are you Nikon folks saving your pics in .NEF? I do then I import into Lightroom, do whatever then export into .jpeg. I find the .nef is higher resolution and a richer looking photo.
