jeremai Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'll play. From Rhyolite Ghost Town this morning: edit: I don't feel like resizing them tonight. Clicky, prs. Link to comment
Lalani Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Very cool. 6a is my fav. Reflection from a window? Link to comment
jeremai Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah. It's a little 10x10ft house, the only family home left standing from the bust in 1909. The BLM renovated it and added plate glass replicas of the original windows. I only brought one lens, a 70-300. That definitely made compositions more difficult, but I was happy for the challenge.

dshnarw Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 great shots jer! 6a for me too, and the doors so whats with the bike statue thing in that last one? Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 so whats with the bike statue thing in that last one? From Rhyolite Ghost Town My guess is it has something to do with the "Ghost Town" part? Nice shots jer. Link to comment
Lalani Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Looks like the single lens worked pretty well for you. I use only the 28-135mm when doing general stuff. That bike statue is kinda funky. I noticed recently that maybe 80-90% of the photos I take are vertical.... Have you guys noticed what orientation you favor? Link to comment
latazyo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 landscape:portrait = 95:5 for me, but IM really trying to change that because I have a lot of pics that would have been way better in portrait...the vertical grip is helping a lot with that for me Link to comment

My guess is it has something to do with the "Ghost Town" part? Nice shots jer. Thanks guys. Yeah, it's an art installation from the 80s. The artist had a friend hold the pose while he draped him in plaster-soaked burlap. When the plaster dried the friend was removed and the result is what you see. There is also a replica of the Last Supper using the same technique behind where I was standing when I took that photo. I have more non-HDR shots of the ghost town and the gallery, I'll get them posted to my blog sometime today. Looks like the single lens worked pretty well for you.

Have you guys noticed what orientation you favor? I'd say I'm 50/50 or close to it. So many people shoot landscape, I guess I want something unique. Although I'll tell you, in every shot I took yesterday (except those of the doors) I did two exposures, one landscape and one portrait. Just to be safe. Link to comment
Lalani Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 lat - Yeah, I'm loving the vertical grip on mine. Makes it so much easier! Jer - Hmm, good idea on taking two shots for each subject, but I'm such a spaz when it comes to taking photos. Kinda just do things on a whim and don't really think about it. Link to comment
jeremai Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well, I just got a new 4gb Kingston card, I wanted to see if I could fill it up with 400 photos in an hour. A few more posted to my blog, btw. Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Have you guys noticed what orientation you favor? Well, we all know how jer will answer..... prz no ban. Link to comment

Have you guys noticed what orientation you favor? 18-55mm for me. But the G9 is always in my back pocket if I need something a bit closer 50/50 for me apparently - 45 landscape/45 portrait from the asylum photos that I kept. Thanks guys.

Interesting...lol, enormous cinder block woman. you really do have a thing for doors lat - Yeah, I'm loving the vertical grip on mine. Makes it so much easier! I didn't think it was that hard without a vertical grip *shrugs* Well, we all know how jer will answer..... prz no ban. Link to comment
jeremai Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Interesting...lol, enormous cinder block woman. She's my favorite! you really do have a thing for doors Link to comment
Lalani Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I didn't think it was that hard without a vertical grip *shrugs* Well it's not difficult without the grip, but the grip makes it easier to brace for shots because both arms are down. And it's more comfortable for me, since I shoot mainly verticals. And ya, cinder block woman has a little badunkadunk, hehe. Link to comment

Lalani Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Lol, my tripod stays at home. Link to comment
jeremai Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 ^ mine, too. Actually, I brought it yesterday and made my best friend lug it around all day but I never actually used it, lol. Even at ISO100 and a 300mm focal length I was still getting shutter speeds close to or surpassing 1/500sec. I love the desert. Link to comment
latazyo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 it isn't hard, but its more comfortable and easier on your arm/shoulders probably not an issue for us twenty somethings, but is for older shooters Link to comment
Lalani Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought you were going to have more shots to show us, lat. *taps foot* Link to comment

latazyo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought you were going to have more shots to show us, lat. *taps foot* had seminar all weekend, if you want to know anything about head and neck anatomy and trauma, I can answer that, but nothing about photography until tomorrow afternoon suppose this responds to both posts... meh, after packing rocks around for the last 4 years of research, tripods and cameras are nothing. to be honest, portraits are more comfortable to shoot than landscapes to me - wrist position on the right hand is more relaxed. I was thinking more about the shoulder, but let's not distract from the thread I suppose Link to comment
