I like it, but need to go back today and get it from the same angle as the original (summer) photo... but here it is on a cool, grey fall day...

Yes and I got that feeling of *cool* (as in fall) when I looked at this picture, that is something that always catches me when I look at a picture, is if I get a feeling, like happy, sad, sorrow, dark, cold, warm etc....

So I have this little cute 9 week old pup, I can't get her to keep still! It's been raining daily so the lighting is awful, what can I do to get some good shots of her? Wait until she is sleeping??? lol

When I photograph my animals indoors I usually use off camera lighting.
Here is one I did of my Chihuahua, Pixi.

We gave her a bath, let her run around, then snuggled her until she got sleepy, then I had Michael stand behind me with her favorite treat, cheese. LOL Then I just had to snap fast. I love photographing our furkids, but it is definitely a challenge. I'll take furkids over infants & toddlers any day though.

BTW my pups name is *Dixi * lol

Hello Photogs.....

I am this (-) close to purchasing a Canon Rebel T3i. Does any one have one or have any experience with it's previous model the Rebel T2i?

I have several click and shoot cameras, but they don't always allow for the kind of photographs I want. I want to be able to control my depth of field.

This Canon seems to be an excellent starter D-SLR, I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks!

If your point and shoots have manual mode then you can control your Dof.

I thought the Sony might...but NO!....the Sony is pretty old, and still pretty big for a point and shoot, but it takes good pictures. Then I started to get into *pocket sized* they serve a purpose. I'm really missing my 35 mm days. I swear I have a camera for every year I have lived :seeingstars:

Thanks to all those tips left in rep comments ~ I had no idea so much info fit in there~ I'll keep looking. This is supposed to be the Christmas for Cameras!

The Sony A100 is my DSLR. And I've been very happy with it for a couple reasons, but I will have to look into the DOF more this weekend to answer your question.

Sadly, I dropped the camera getting out of a train seat this summer. The image stabilizer was affected, and I was a given a $350 repair estimate by the local camera shop, which I declined. There is a depth of field preview button, and some have found the 1/4000 max shutter "limiting" for DOF.

My DSLR is a Canon 7D, but I have a Sony Cybershot P&S, and I use the camera on my iPhone a lot.

I adore my Canon SX 30 IS. I have always taken photos of nature and have been lucky with the lighting. I recently started taking pictures of my grandchildren and I am having difficulty with lighting. I have used the flash, and the result is a very bright child. I have tried turning on other lights and the result is a yellowish tint. Any suggestions?

My dinosaur Sony point and shoot, allowed me to activate the red eye sensor with a half click, this sent some internal signal to the camera brain (for lack of technical verbage) and the lighting came out perfectly (with or with out flash) however, it was an ALL auto camera. Is this any help?

You also possibly need to play with your white balance in accordance to the type of artificial lighting you're using.

ETA. I'm a Nikon chap all the way. The consumer level Nikon glass is best IMO. In the pro glass market the brands are much of a muchness.

[QUOTE=Incubus;454927]snip - I've used a cigarette paper before.

:| I've used them too. Some of my best *work* was done when I was using them.

sorry, I couldn't resist

http://www.ibcart.com/imgs/prods/im4...OS60D18135.jpgNice!...Now, this isn't your first DSLR is it Dee? Would you suggest this to an old 35 mm shutterbug who is just learning D-SLR?

NO. I would not..... lol........

My question would be why do you want a DSLR? I sold more photos with my point and shoot, just by being in the right place right time than my very expensive set up!

As they say, it's not the camera that takes the picture it's the person looking in the viewfinder that takes them.

Yes and to be honest, I almost find it insulting when someone says *oh nice picture, I wish I had a nice camera like yours*...

I laugh when I whip out the point and shoot from my back pocket and say... *like this?*

LOL, TRUE...but the wrong camera can ruin the right person's photo opportunity.

I would love a rangefinder (if only I could afford a Leica). Keeping it old school and simple. Less choice, more creativity. S'why I favour fixed glass. Too much choice and decisions to make with a zoom (although I do own a couple)

We all work differently though.

A good picture is about framing and composition not how many megapixels or 'modes' yer camera has.
