EVOm Photo Crew?

It seems that there's quite a few talented photagraphers on the board, IL2AZ, VegasBoy, other people who's names don't jump out in my head...

What's everyone shooting with? Camera/lenses/etc...

Maybe some tips/tricks can be passed around regarding lighting/angles/exposure/whatever.

I really liked what a few of the guys from Honda-Tech were doing for a little while (Doesn't seem there's been too many update's recently...) over at http://H-TPhotoCrew.com/ and I thought we might get something going over here...


Maybe...?

EDIT: that is actually a really good website for people to learn some "tricks of the trade" for photoshop... i just cant wait till i get my new cam

I've got a rebel XT 350D with the Canon 18-55 kit lens. Fully manual mode, long exposure on a tripod tends to work best for me!

Woot!

What did you do to get around the stock lens' hatred for focusing at night for those long exposure shots?

I broke down and started carrying a flashlight.

I've got a Canon digital rebel 300d with a canon 28-135mm lense. I love it, suits my needs perfectly. I have to say that this is the lense that should have come with the camera. IT works great for all uses, and it got rid of the horrendus lense flare on the kit lense.

BTW, here's some of my most recent shoots:

I need a good camera soo bad...I feel dumb after I finish detailing nice cars and have no pics to show anyone. Luckily, one of my clients with a modded 996 911 Turbo will be getting me a 20D or digital rebel at cost soon .

The AF-assist beam helps...just pop down the flash when it's locked on. otherwise, yeah, flashlight does it!

Where's a decent price on this lens? I'm looking to dump the 18-55 here soon enough.

I know that I'll be picking up this little guy soon enough. 1.8F at night = some great shots without using flash (I'm an advid flash-hater)

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...E0E744921937ML Scroll down till the "Sonic Meet pics", my G5 was hating life that night even with my external flash, and he was just shooting away thanks to the 1.8 $70 lens. It's a must have
