Official Photography Thread: Vol. ICan'tFindTheLastOne

^ that'd be cool.

I spent a few hours this week looking up the lens to see if it would fit and stuff and a few sources said that it would but it the metering wouldn't.

I just had a look inside the body and I can't see anything. If it means anything I took a few shots with no lens and it didn't meter those.

It was Ken Rockwell's site I got the info from I think - he seems pretty adamant that it won't meter.

I did just discover the little green dot focussing thing when in manual mode though. That will come in handy.

^hmm... thats probably be the case and i don't know the exact construction of a dslr but I refuse to believe that the light meter is in the lens.
Must just require the light thru the lens or lens on the mount to meter like a technical connection thing rather than it being physically impossible persay.

So I don't know strikes me as odd, but that guy is probably right.

 

[kdwallace]

Yeah, I think it's the connection that's the problem - Nikon lenses have had the same mount forever so they all fit

1st - It's nice... you blurred alittle motion with those people. I don't know what kind of camera you're using but seems like a situation you could have easily stilled all the motion and gotten alittle crisper focus.
2nd - I get the idea but its not working... nothing is really in crisp focus and the stuff that out of focus feels like its a too close to the camera or range of focus issue rather than changing the depth of focus...
3rd - Easily the best. Could be improved with longer exposure and closing down the lens a bit...
4th - feels oddly composed like is the idea the beach or the guy body surfing? pick one and try and establish that idea either with a more stretched out view of the beach or focus on the dude...

what up NT, I have an assignment to do in photography class using portraits. If any of you have taken portraits and are willing to let me use them, please let me know. I've seen some NTer's photography work and I have to admit some are just plain good. Thanks

Finally worked out the answer to my lens question - definitively now. I
was looking at another lens on Ebay - a 50mm 1:2 H Auto and
wondered if that would meter - turns out that is an older method - the
auto has nothing to do with focussing - it just means that the aperture
ring opens and closes automatically with the shutter release.

Found this handy chart on Ken Rockwell's site if anyone's
interested. I've got a D40 and the lens I bought was AI - so that
means it will fit - the older lenses need altered to fit but everything
since then has the same mounting (although pre AI lenses will fit a D40
just due to it being a bit more compact). You can see that until
you get to AF-S or AF-I the metering and autofocus don't work.
Some of the more expensive models do meter with the older lenses
but the bodies are a lot more expensive.

I got a 50mm f/1.8D AF lens for my Nikon D80. So cheap but takes million dollar photos.

Haven't snapped any flicks in a while cuz I sent in the body to Nikon for some "hot pixels" issue

Apparently a lot of people have this issue too with the D80.

I feel mad empty without my camera

I always love to see this thread.

Anyway, here's one of me. Although I obviously didn't take the picture, it was taken with my camera and it came out WAYYY better than I or the photographer had anticipated.

I looked at that site and its the photo with the yankee fitted's right? You should email them telling them what they're doing is highly illegal and while I don't think suing them would be worth it, but by the same token that's just strikes me as ridiculously offensive. it's a slap in the face. A: they should contact you from the beginning and see if using your photo is ok and B: whether they ask or not they should credit you even if its just like your NT sn... something.

I mean they have ad's on the site they clearly make money from it. It's just a matter of time before they steal the wrong person's photograph and they get cease and desist via email. They ignore that and you probably get their site shut down because I highly doubt their hosting it themselves.. So their server isn't going to want any part of copyright infringement so they'll just shut the whole thing down. And that sounds like whole lot of fun getting you're site that you clearly make money from shut down because you can't ask for permission or credit someone... You use someone who makes or has made money from their photography at some point and they'll end up having to pay damages simple as that...

All for not just writing a pm or email that would take 30 seconds to write and "Can I use so and so photo on my website? and what name would you like to be credited under?" simple as that and 9 times out of 10 I would bet the photographer or whoever would be super stoked more than anything...
