I haven't done much photography this year.

[QUOTE=chamon;23778613]What is the difference between .RAW and .JPEG? Are there more attributes to be changed on RAW ?[/QUOTE] The raw files store the data that is directly from the sensor of the camera I think. A jpeg stores processed data so it can be printed straight away whereas a raw file needs manually processing by you before printing. Either way it stores more information for each pixel meaning you are free to adjust the lighting in a lot of ways in something like adobe lightroom. It's more flexible. I only really use it for landscapes/outdoor photography otherwise I just stick to jpeg fine.

Thanks :) I tried using RAW and editted it in Lighroom, for the first time so C&C Welcome [IMG]http://imgkk.com/i/-pps.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://imgkk.com/i/1xws.jpg[/IMG]

The last picture is rotated, it's making me seasick for some reason.

Aw the heart shaped light in the background in the 2nd picture

[url]http://www.diyphotography.net/diy_create_your_own_bokeh[/url] check out this if you dont know how to do shaped bokeh [editline]06:36PM[/editline] lol kitty (still not named it) is chasing my cursor around atm, even more fun as i have 3 screens and can hide it in the bezel

Oh! I was wondering what bokeh was, I just though it was some hipster saying lol.

Thanks. I actually thought the filter was strong too, but I found no options to disable it though. The keys, I don't understand what juxtaposition is though, but again the filterrape was unintentional. I got my camera yesterday so every tip counts, I wonder if there's some guide you can link me to, which explains something about how to get an interesting shot. Also, I would like a zoom lens, but I don't know what one to choose. And is a gorillapod any good?

no

No what?

no to your question silly

But I asked three :saddowns:

decent zoom lens for a beginner [url]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0011NVMO8[/url] what I meant by juxtaposition was how the placement of the keys was all jumbled up

Awesome, I'll take that lens in mind, I like some of the samples. But is it for long range only? Or can I, for an example take pictures of small things near too? Oh and, how would I be able to improve the keys? If they would lie linear, wouldn't that look kinda fake?

I like the placement of the keys, everything doesn't have to look even and perfect [editline]08:57PM[/editline] Long telezoom-lenses are overrated (unless shooting sport/events etc.), wide lenses are way more useful. I got only 105mm on full-frame and I've wanted anything longer like 2 times in the past 3 months. Wider than 24mm like 300.

[QUOTE=evilking1;23785762]Long telezoom-lenses are overrated[/QUOTE] They make you look pro if you shoot canon because of the white barrel. People won't bother you if you're out in the city. You also get more credibility if you ask to take pictures in weird places. I plan on getting a 70-200 f/4 (too poor for the 2.8) to go along with my 28-105 and 8 WIDE.

I am a complete noob, what is the difference between wide lenses and long telezoom? I would like to use it, so I could take photos from 'long' away, like a picture of a bird.

Not special, but isn't it cute :D [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/214/d/3/Fox_by_swebonny.jpg[/img] [editline]09:58PM[/editline] Hmm scary noise.

[QUOTE=chamon;23786958]I am a complete noob, what is the difference between wide lenses and long telezoom? I would like to use it, so I could take photos from 'long' away, like a picture of a bird.[/QUOTE] Wide angle means a "zoomed out" picture. Telephoto means a long focal length (it's focus is on things a long way away), the picture is obviously "zoomed in" as well. Telephoto is great for a shallow depth of field (everything blurred cept the subject), wide is great for getting whole scenes. A telezoom gives you the flexibilty to zoom in and out between the two. Highly useful for framing things without having to move physically, and saves you having to carry around multiple lenses. The downside to telezooms is that the wide end usually isn't very wide. usually 50+mm which is longer than most zooms' long end.

Edit : Fucking shit, I spotted a hot pixel in the image.

God, I feel like a complete amateur, and I am. Care to explain about the wide end and long end? All I got is the kit lens that followed with the camera, 1000D. I'm gonna try to find some samples so I can see it with my own eyes. Edit: [URL]http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-17-40mm-f-4.0-L-USM-Lens-Review.aspx[/URL] Wide end looks to me like it's just zoomed in, but everything "is in focus" yes? Or maybe I am lost as usual.

Basically, you are able to capture more stuff in one shot using a wider lens.

But if I would like to zoom in on things from far away, for an example, I am at a zoo, and want to take a picture of a beautiful tiger, it would probably be better for me to get a telephoto lense, right?
