Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ 30

wish i knew how to use it

When all else fails, read the manual. That's what got me to reading the Bible.

as a youngster i had it pretty much sussed out, now i have decided to go over the various settings and see what gives me the best result, and its clear to me, that having the shakes doesnt help, lol, so im off to get a tripod...

If you're using slow lenses and/or shooting in low light, then a tripod is a good solution unless you can afford Image Stablized len$e$. I have a Manfroto, simular to this one:

it works pretty good for small/light gear and is easy to carry and affordable.

Nice to see those Rollei cams... My dad used to work for Rollei a couple of decades ago. Maybe thats where my love for photography came from....

I'll post my gear list later

[will]

This is an interesting thread, Just one observation - in the 34 posts, there are only 5 camera related pictures. All the others are lists of the equipment, not that there is anything wrong with that...

[Burgess]

. . . . and classic Rollei cameras seem to be leading the list !







PS: yes, i have one of their great TLR's also.

Here is my active Camera Equipment:

Digital Still:

• Kodak Easyshare CX7300 Point and Shoot 3.2 Megapixel, bought off a friend in 2006 for $20
• Palm Centro Integrated Camera 1.3 Megapixel, Not used for anything except a quick snapshot.

Film Still:

• Canon Canonet 28 Rangefinder, I got it a a flea market for $5, still on the first roll of film, just want to make sure everything works right.

Analog Video:

• JVC Videomovie GR-65U, I got it at a Goodwill for about $30 but the piece that drives the zoom is bad so I have to use the lever to zoom.

Digital Video:

• Palm Centro Integrated camera, used only for real quick video grabs.

That covers all of my active equipment.

What kind of sports do you shoot? I think the Canon EF200 F2 is no longer in production is it?

The Canon EF200 F/2 L IS USM is a brand new lens that just came to be about a year ago. I think you are possibly refering to the canon EF200 F/1.8 Lens..

For my photos of lights I usual uses:
Nikon D300 with Tamron 90 mm macro and when I have a large collection of lights I uses a Nikon 17-55 mm f/2.8 (I am not satisfied with this lens for these photos, I might get a 60mm macro to handle some of them).
For light I uses 3xSB800, mostly doing ceiling bounce, but sometimes also doing more direct light and a SB900 on the camera.

Mostly I uses f/16 when taking the pictures.

For beamshots:
Nikon D300 with 17-55 mm f/2.8 and a Manfrotten tripod.

I uses the camera in manual mode and auto focus disabled (I only need to focus once, all the other shots can use the same focus). These shots are always taken i raw format and then processed batch processed for size, white balance and exposure compensation.

To see examples of my work, check out my website.

I have read that the Tamron 90 mm macro is a very good portrait lens that has excellent bokeh.

I have never used it for portrait, there I usual uses a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8.
