So what do you guys use? Any Tips? Post Processing, Photoshop Work Ect?

I'd like to say that Im not a novice photographer, and no where near professional quality, kind of mediocre, so therefore Im still learning, and I relise my self my creativness needs to be worked on. As I've seen alot of your images on here, I thought it would be cool to share what camera we all use, filter and so fourth so we can all improve a little. One question I have to some of you is, how on earth are all your shots so sharp, and the colour is so deep and crisp on your images?, they are near to perfect.

I my self use a Fuji Finepix S9600.. pretty much a bridge camera, does everything an SLR does, bloody good quality sensor but isn't as flexible in some areas such as aperture (doesn't go as far either way as an SLR). I use a polarisation filter on alot of things, and when not using that I always have my UV filter screwed on. I have a fish eye lense on the way and various other filters to play with.

I have recently discoverd HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. http://www.hdrsoft.com/resources/dri.html More infor about HDR there.

I have a Canon A530. Just you average point and shoot digital, but it takes amazing photos for what it is. I have spent a decent amount of time, however, learning how the camera handles different lighting situations so that I can adapt to them.

As for post production, I try not to do to much, but as a graphic designer I feel that most pictures can at least be tweaked a little bit.

I am using a Nikon D50 w/Tamron 18-200 lense and I edit on my Mac w/Adobe photoshop.I'm happy with the results...but i'm still learning alot.

i use a very simple canon powershot 3.2mp camera. i do a tiny bit of editing with photoshop, but nothing major.

Thanks guys.. man such a long time ago since I started this thread. Upgraded to a Pentax K10d towards the end of last year and Im loving it, new website rocks btw :)

what did u get with the camera, Jim?

damn, august 2007. I have since jumped to a Canon 40D with a couple different lenses. Congrats on the new camera.

just got a 50mm and am loving it. taking a bit to learn but prob my favorite and cheapest lense.

Picking up a new D300 to go with my compliment of lenses soon. :)

I love my D300, had it since march. Just need a 70-200mm...

I'm holding off on buying any new gear for a while with exception of some old film stuff taht I'm gonna start carrying around. Old film body + 50mm f1.2 aspherical = :-)

lol, just need a 70-200 to smash?

haha, you will never let him live that down. i remember his face. funny as hell.

It was hysterical. Especially the double take when he pulled the lens cap off.

PT you gotta try that 50mm @ like F5.6 or see if your camera is back focusing

almost bought a 20mm 1:2.8 this weekend. Couldn't pull the trigger.

lol, just need a 70-200 to smash?

hahahah, worst split-second of my photographic life. Easily.
"dude... dude... dude... what... umm..."
Then I realized that I didn't do it. And still felt like I was just kicked in the nuts.

The 20mm f2.8 would be great on full frame. Sigma also makes a 20mm f1.8 if you're not scared of off-brand stuff, and a 30mm f1.4 that's killer on crop bodies.
