if you've never had a SLR before a XT or XTi would be enough I wager anyways. I paid $370 for my XT body, that's a lot cheaper then I could have got a 20D one for.
if you want to use Photobucket, resize them yourself first so you can set a low compression level, but otherwise use Flickr or something.

Interesting, I used to do a lot of nature photography with the camera on a tripod, lens stopped way down, and long exposures to get the maximum depth of field, and that probably affects the way I shoot now, and perceive other photohgraphs. Different styles, but I like your stuff.el jacko said:

Considering it's tested its actually safer than buying new.SnakeXs said:

Is there anyway to retain a better quality to the pictures when uploading them?
These shots are nowhere near the originals and it shows
Your pics seem to get compressed some more or something...I was going to mention. I dunno. Try imageshack or something - just upload one image and post it next to the photobucket one to see if it makes a difference.

Well, I think its just due to the fact that I resize and save in MSPaint :lol
I Resized and saved the one in the assignment thread in GIMP with a higher JPEG setting and I think it turned out better.
I just like the ease of Paint because it takes me ~5 seconds to do it, but they turn out like complete shit
Is there any other way I could do that is fast and efficient?
finally fixed my scanner. enjoy.
too lazy to crop these but i'm sure everyone gets the idea. need to dodge the face and burn in a few places. lazynessss.

Sure it's a better camera, but it's always going to be a personal decision. I mean an EOS-1D is better yet, but obviously isn't a good option for someone just looking to upgrade from a point and shoot. The 20D is bigger, heavier, used, doesn't have a built in dust removal system, has a smaller LCD screen, has older firmware, has fewer megapixels, and, perhaps most importantly to me, wasn't available at the store where I had $300 in gift certificates.DarkAngelYuna said:
Plus, the XTi/400D has the side benefit of exposing your local camera shop as the elitist poofters they are when you ask about accessories for it.

here's some crap i took in japan last fall
in nikko
in tokyo
my friend took this of me
these were the first pictures i took with my digital rebel xt (got it like a week before i left for tokyo). also first shot at photoshop processing afterwards, so some of the color saturation is overdone and makes things look fake

Oh come on now. An EOS 1d is over $3k, thats no where near the cameras on topic. The anti dust in the xti is a joke and everyone knows thats. Smaller LCD is fine, you shouldn't be using the lcd to chimp your photos anyways, a cameras lcd does not show you the correct colors or exposure. You should only be using the lcd to change options and to look at the histogram, speaking of options the xti has poor controls, no 2nd wheel and a poor menu system. Mega pixels don't mean much anymore in this category, its just an e-penis thing. Either camera can print much larger photos than either one of you will most likely ever print while owning these cameras. Xti is tiny and feels like a toy, the 20d is made of better material and has some weight to it.

Thanks for the comment. For some reason I think light sources are interesting . Been going around the area taking shots of them.

Seeing these makes me wanna replace my Pentax that was stolen. I miss doing film photography.
BTW, Don't feel bad about having a cheap camera man. Keep taking shots with what you have.

Here are some photos I took the other day with my mobile phone.
Is there a tool in Photoshop that would make the grass in the first photo look greener? (Fixed now)

Cheers bggrthnjsus. Selected the grass area and went to Image->Adjustments->Colour Balance. I just wanted to emphasise the green with the orange of the buildings and the blue of the sky.
I took these today. granted i could have got a lot better pictures but it was 60 degrees out I'll de damned if i was going to "waste it" walking around taking pictures, I went home and went on a bike ride.
-Yes, GREEN. zomg.
-you guys think i should PS out those tree branches on the right?
-a robin. great to see some different birds, although I saw a couple doves on the roof last week.

I have a question about my S3 IS, some other owners might be able to help.
Is there any reason one cant use manual focus when in macro mode? I do not understand this at all because it is usable in supermacro mode but not standard macro mode. I really dont like this because I cant seem to consistently get the autofocus to lock in where I want it in macro mode and cant seem to adjust it all. I searched google but came up empty handed on the issue. Can anyone tell me why this is restricted like it it?

It's the LG Shine. 2MPixels, some colour effects, white balance options etc. You can get phones with >3MPs and possibly more features, if the camera on the phone is a major buying factor for you.

mrklaw; tell me the 70-200 F/4L is sex and i'll buy one right now.

Seriously, looking through my favourites folder, and a high proportion are captured through this lens. Colour and sharpness are top notch - for me, it's nearly like getting that punch without doing any post processing.
What is the best photo-hosting site on the net? It seems most of them have some sort of free service where you can only upload a very limited number of photos, but charge like $25 a year for unlimited photos etc. I've seen photo.net, flickr (yahoo), picasa (google), and maybe a couple others. I would've gone with Picasa but I hate how difficult they make it to view full-size versions of the photos. Maybe I'll go with flickr.

Pictures I took for a job. Most of them are just shots of things, but I thought these came out pretty nice. Oh, and the lighting sucked so I had to play around with them in iPhoto, more than I'd have liked to.

Well, that is even better, but it's twice the price. I would get that if I could. The one I have is the non-Is version. Relatively cheap for the quality (US$600? - of coruse in NZ, it costs closer to us$800-1000.
But I like the pictures.GKB: Ah, Isee. It was too early in the morning. Here's the deal, I'll give you some blood, but you give me some coffee. Also, good on you for giving blood.
I recently picked up the Minolta 70-210 f/4, and while I'm sure the IQs are different in whichever way, it's a really really really nice focal length and speed. I haven't used the Canon lens you guys are talking about but I'm sure everyone can agree that have this sort of reach is empowering! Recommended A++ lens, everybody should get one!
I got my tripod in today, which is exciting, too!

Having done a good deed I've treated myself to my first 'L'. £350 for a used copy which isn't bad for UK prices. Should keep its value as well should I ever need to sell it on. Good times!
Blatantly be wanting the IS version followed by the F/2.8 IS as soon as I get it though. Such is life.

Welcome to the world of debt!
Took my K100d to Zoo Atlanta Monday and got some pics of the baby panda. Most of the shots were done with my 50-200mm f4/5.6 lens. I was using (what turned out to be) a cruddy polarizer to try to compensate for all of the reflections, but it's hard to get a good angle in a room full of squealing kids and the attendant soccer moms. I set the camera to auto bracket and just hoped for the best. I would have gleefully killed for a curtain or something to block out the light. I ended up taking over 1400 shots all over the zoo that day-my shutter's still smoking. I did a little auto-balance and resizing and trimming; couldn't really post-process as my main rig is having it's motherboard RMA'ed.
Aww, that panda's adorable!
It's been a while since I've posted in here, but I've finally got a couple of new shots that I like!
It's been hard to get out and shoot these days with school, but I find that its a nice way to relax when I can tear myself away from homework.
