New Camera! (1 Viewer)

[lr9788]

I am getting married in a couple short weeks and to surprise my soon to be wife I just purchased a Canon 60d with a canon IS 18-55 and a tamron 75-300 lens kit

I have some experience with DSLR but does anyone have recommendations for books/websites to get my proficiency level up a little

Nice!

photography-on-the.net is a good Canon focused site. There are some good threads there on the basics too if you need to refresh on that.

nice luke, now you can come over and take some coral pics for me :beerchug:

Awesome, Luke! I really liked Scotty Kelby's books 1 and 2 out of his 3 book series. They show photos and Kelby states how he gets them. It's an easy read.

Congrats on getting the camera! Your facebook post inspired me to do something creative with my camera for once. I'm in the middle of a 5 minute near-infrared exposure of my tank. :beerchug:

about to upload it now... It turned out... mmm... well... "grainy" to say the least. Lol. I'll post it in my tank photos thread. I can't remember what it was called now, but it'll pop up at the top of the list in a few seconds

WOWWW! Did you get those rics from Garret? Did you use the stock lens? Very nice pic.

 

[lr9788]

Rics came from vivalaraza
I used a Tamron 75-300 lens

Still need quite a bit of practice but not too shabby for my first attempt

Nice pictures man! What lighting you use for the pics?

 

[lr9788]

I took all of these pictures under actinic bulbs only

 

[Fragtastic Reef]

I thought it seemed that the colors really blew up! Its actually easier I think to take the pictures under daylight.
