Carter N's Photography Advice Thread.

Don't know if you could help with this, but - If i wanted to take a shot of a cars interior (Whilst remaining outside, head on) I would just place the flash on the back seat and simply shoot from outside?

I would put the flash by the shifter facing towards the back.

I would put the flash by the shifter facing towards the back.

Yeah, so that would illuminate the front portion of the interior and leave the rear dark?

I think i just had myself confused on the lighting haha

Yes, just angle the flash accordingly.

#1 is good, I'd like to see it with a bit more motion blur, perhaps a slower shutter speed next time.

#2 I like, just as an idea play around with levels &curves in photoshop if you have it to try and bring out more detail in the black.

#3&4 are good, again a little more motion would have been cool and I would stay away from adding vignetting in post. If you wanna bring out the subject with light try a dodge & burn or a gradient (use sparingly)

okaay pros, Nikon or Canon?

okaay pros, Nikon or Canon?

Matter of opinion. Doesn't really matter till you get into the higher ranges. I've seen great work from both sides.

Just to answer the question at hand, as Kielan stated it is a matter of opinion. I started with a Canon Elan film SLR and then moved to a Nikon d60, grew bored with Nikon and now have a Canon 7D. After switching to Canon again i'm here to stay. With Canon I feel as though the lenses are better and more reasonably priced (The 50 f/1.8 and the 70-200 f/4). Both are similar in image quality and build quality though some say that Nikon's build quality is better....don't think a D60 to 7D is a fair comparison in this category.

Based on your price range I have compiled a Nikon v. Canon chart type thing.....

Lenses are fairly similar in cost as well, really it just comes down to what you like more in each camera, software, lenses, how it feels (Can't stress that one enough).

This definitely helps a lot
Interesting, I was at Costco the other day, and I was actually looking at the Canon Rebel T2i and the Nikon D5000 and this is what kinda made me wonder what brand the majority seems to be in favor of.

I see, when you guys say "how it feels" are you guys referring to the weight of the camera or the grip or the overall size or the ease of access to certain buttons? Fill me in the know, I'd really like to learn more

The only experience I've had with a "DSLR" is on GT5 lol.

I like the Nikons shutter button better.........if that matters. Otherwise I'd say they're about the same in that way, I do like how Canon has the spinny dial thing on the back that controls the aperture

The editing is technically sound the only thing I would do is just make everything a little brighter. Good work though & nice photos Kielan!

Each brand has it's pros & cons. There are much wiser men than me who have written a lot more than I ever will on the matter.

That being said, Canon all day.
