I missed it :,(

I'm going to London(again) soon.
Gonna bring the D3 and a 50mm f/1.4 with me. I don't think I'm gonna need any other lens.

Any of you want to make me a watermark
TTT

[Nobben #44]

I have to send my D3 in to the workshop. Somehow my sensor got scratched when I was sleeping. Last picture I took before I put my camera away was fine, the first one the morning after had tons of artifacts on it.

Oh well, I have insured it up the ass and this should be covered by that insurance. And I got a D7000 to play with while it's gone. I'm not complaining.

Just got the free trial of LR4, and I may buy it at student prices of $60

for some reason when ever I look at my pictures at 1:1 they dont look sharp, even when shot at F/ 9
Anyone want to take a look?

Go to full sizes and look at the 2k x 1k image, or download it and go to 1:1, I just doesnt look sharp

What lens are you using?
And are you sure the camera or lens isn't backfocusing?

Nikon 50mm 1.8G, and an 18-55.
I don't think it's backfocusing because it focuses quite well on objects.
The only thing is that when viewed at 1:1, they don't look sharp. Like look at the photo I posted, download it and look at it 1:1, it just doesn't look good.
How can I check if my camera is backfocusing?
(the best, is that if it is, i have a 3 year warranty from the store I bought it from, and they will cover hte repair cost. )

How did I not know about this club before If I could join, well that would be swell.

Some of my recent stuff:










I've been interested in photography for about a year. Took Photography 10 just as a filler course, using my mom's Rebel XSi and I really enjoyed it, enough to sign up into Photo 20 the next semester (and now Photo 30).

Recently acquired a Canon T3i for $500, awesome camera so far. Using the kit lens, as I'm broke

EDIT: Oh and here is my deviantart page... my old stuff isn't great. http://mokothemonkey.deviantart.com/

Anyone seen the new D600 from Nikon?
It's essentially an 24mp full format sensor in a D7000 body.

Holy fuck that camera looks like an awesome one. Maybe it's not that far into the future when APS-C sensors are just for the cheapest DSLRs.

[Blade of grass]

Nobben is your YouTube parptarf? I just saw you comment on Digutal Revs 24-70 II video.

[Nobben #44]

Yup, that's me.

Also, I just found out the D600 can only go to a shutter of 1/4000.
Dammit, I would most likely have changed cameras if it went to 1/8000.

Nikon screwed that up.

[Nobben #44]

It still looks like a kickass camera. But if I'm using a fast lens in bright weather 1/4000 ain't even gonna be close to good enough.

By the way Chris, how do you like that Tokina glass? Been kind of looking at one of those.
Currently I'm looking at the 24-120 f/4 from Nikon. That would be a great allarounder for both stills and video.

I love my tokina 12-24, just as sharp if not sharper than my sigma 24-70! I paid 285 USD for it with a 6 month warranty and it was worth every single penny haha Only downside is that its a dx lens and wont work on FX

If you have any questions on it just let me know

The D600 looks like a great camera but if I had 2000$ I think I would just buy a used D700. Also if you utilize ND filters on your large aperture lens you can shoot wide open without any issues on the D600.

Good ND filters are expensive. I'd rather use that money on something else.
I don't want to run around with an ND filter when I'm street shooting, when I go inside somewhere I'd have to take it on and off.
