I've noticed that the photography bug afflicts the same type of people who find detailing cars rewarding.



So what do you shoot?



Body: Canon 40D

Lens: 17-85 USM IS (Walk around)

70-200mm f/2.8 USM IS ( On it's way from B&H )

Tripod: Bogen / Manfrotto with a Midi Ball head.

Filters: B+W CP, ND, UV

Memory: x2 Lexar Pro UDMA 4GB 300X

Bag: Tamrac Adventure 9



I've only had my 40D for about a month now, it was my 30th Birthday present to myself.
 
Nikon D200

Lens: 50mm 1.8, 70-200mm and 18-70mm

Flash: SB800

Strobes: Alien Bees



I need to buy a few new lenses - would love the Nikkor 70-200 VR but $1700 for a lens is a bit much. B&H is a great store - if you ever have the chane to go, GO. Its unreal how the operation works.

I was there at the start of the month, I was able to get a layover at Newark so I took the train in and was blown away by how big the place was. After talking with the pro's I made the decision to go with the L glass rather than the F 4.0 version. Plus with the rebates at the moment it wasn't so hard to find that extra money.
 
That canon lens you picked is a real nice piece of glass. What do you like to shoot? I do some porttraits but I prefer landscapes and stills. I found photography, like car detailing, to be very, very theraputic. If you need a place to store your pics, check out SmugMug Photo Sharing. Your photos look better here. - great site and very cheap, something like $50/yr for unlimted storage.

I'm more into landscape and architecture I find shooting people fun but too subjective. It's something that started as a need for work and turned into a hobby. I really need to spend more time working with my 40D the learning curve is a bit higher than expected and the controls are not natural to me yet. I think it's going to take a few more months before they become 2nd nature. As for that lens I ordered it specifically for my trip to the Montreal F1 race in two week! n Thanks for the link right now I still keep my own webspace Simon & Kristin Matthews Photography I'm just putting the sight back together after a server error destroyed it last month.
 
Canon XTI

Canon 17-40 4L

Canon 70-200 4L

Canon 50 1.8



I really want a better walk around lens, like the 24-105, but these work pretty good for me right now.
 
I was a Canon man (owned original F-1 for a long time) but my wife picked up the habit and went to Nikon D70s and nice lenses. We still have a Canon S3 IS that is great for macros. It seems silly for me to go with Canon DSLR now.
 
Canon 10D (Have been wanting to upgrade. Waiting to see how the new job search goes. 5D or XTi)

Canon Rebel 2000 (I still like shooting slides once and a while)

Canon 17-40L f/4

Canon 50mm f1.8

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8

Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro
 
I'm poor and all I have is



Pentax K100D

Standard 18-55mm

Tripod

Lexmark 1 gig card x 2



Not financially willing to spend on high end camera equipment and good

detailing products at the moment (and also mixing equipment) and modifying cars.

I have too many hobbies it seems
 
Nikon D40, Just picked it up like 3 days ago.

standard 18-55m

4gig card



Lookin at picking up a 55-200mm VR lens soon.
 
Indeed I'm feeling the itch. I've seen many detailers" take better photos because they have incredible cameras, and make the cars look spectacular. I aprticularly dislike when they take before pics of the dirt, and not even focus on the paint, then show the clean car like it's something spectacular. Again, no sun shots.



...Bout to call Bovice.
