OK, so now I have swapped the camera I use and the lens I use and got a new flash. ALL of these items are things you guys recommended and now my pics are WAY better than before in fact I would call them PRO quality since I saw a lot of guys taking Derby Dolls photos with tons of pro equipment and then compared my pics with theirs after the fact. (I can say without a doubt that mine were higher quality than the LA Weekly.) Having this kind of quality available is essential if you want to be taken seriously and now that the playing field is (almost) even then I can at least have a chance of expressing what I want and having it come out like I envisioned it. Still, I can think of a few more lenses that would fit nicely in my collection, but at least I have a start.
SO I just wanted to say THANKS to you guys for pointing me in the right direction with the D30, the 17-55 2.8 EF-S lens and the 580EXII flash. Having this ability has given me a new inspiration to go out and take more pics. In fact I'd really like to get into some concert photography and may look into doing something like that and I might be able to use some old connections to do so, hopefully. |
