So I just recently got a new DSLR and been tinkering with it for a bit. It's been a while since I got back into photography so it's all coming back to me. :heh:

Tell me what you guys think?

...FOOOOOOOOD

...Your perspectives are really good, it's amazing how you transformed ordinary objects into amazing photographs... Also, who's that guy twirling that thing around?

i think i want some of that food!
is the 3rd food pic the vietnamese noodles bung bo hue ( i dunno how to spell it)?

Nope, they're all Japanese ramen with different broths.
The guy is a friend of mine smacking a friend of ours with a box full of juice.

Looks like somebody fell in love with the macro setting on his camera. =P
It is fun, though. Almost anything will look cool if you stick a nice camera in its face, hahah. I was taking photos of soda cans and mustard jars the other day. :heh:

Haha yeah, I'm still tinkering around with it. I'm still trying to get that right setting for various settings.

Heheh, yeah.
I'm not a photographer myself, but it seems fun enough. =D

Oh, and I've been wondering...did you draw your sig? If not, where is it from? Habenero-tan is adorable. XD

nah, didn't draw it. I just hastly made it in photoshop using various scenes from the short Habanero-tan manga.

Oh no please don't start taking micros of flowers with your nice camera and call your self a photographer. Happens way too many times when the youth gets hold of a nice camera.

It's one thing to take lifestyle photos for memory's sake; it's another to take photos for the sake of the art behind it. If you take pictures for the first purpose, I don't care how the flip you do it, but don't flaunt your camera in every crook-and-crannie of a garden because it's artsy. Take the time to learn how to properly use your camera; what makes a good photograph and a bad photograph; learn about color, composition, aperture, texture, lighting; and take the time to learn how to properly and tastefully do post-editing.

Otherwise I'll e-slap you.

^ Haha, don't worry. I'm not one of those noobs that take close up shots. The reason why I took that flower shot was to test out how much color, texture, and lighting I can get out of the new camera, lens, and the UV filters. So far, I don't know which is better which is mainly my fault with the settings. Haha! But I know I can take better shots. I've actually been in photography for years, but I just can't figure out with this new camera with my old one. =( I'll be going out later this weekend and take shots and finalize the settings for each different environments I encounter. =) Plus, I also appreciate criticism and recommended apertures, shutter speeds, and ISOs.

This is the camera I got and I got it at a real bargain. Reason why I jumped on it.

This was my old one, which is a regular SLR (Honestly though, I much prefer this then my new one right now, but I need to get used to it and then I'll probably love my new one over the old one soon)

Wow an FM10 is quite a nice camera. Take good care of that baby it can fetch a pretty penny in time, if it's in good condition.

Well, I don't have much to lecture other then have fun. I don't do digital photography and you used film before so I'm sure you know what you are doing as much as I would with that new-fangled digital thing.

Haha yeah, I will post up some of my work I did with the FM10 later on.

Been messing around with the exposures and settings of my camera. I think I'm getting used to it now. Still no where near where I want it but it's getting there I think.

? ? ? ? ?
It means it's grayscale; there's no color. No saturation? Pencil drawings are "black and white."

Nice! I like the first one!

XD I like the first one too!!

Haha, thanks. Same here, love how that picture came out.

Some of those look like they should be in a magazine!

The first picture is the best looking, in my opinion. ^^ And I agree with ~Iris~, they should definately be in a magazine. ^^
