Games & Recreation Photography: Who's into it what Camera and Lens do you have and show us some of pictures thread

[Lethal]

Went out friday night for a bit of soul searching and photography. The location was a lookout between the two towns of Walker Flat and Wongulla on the River Murray. Crystal clear night and awe inspiring, if only I could get these damn stars in focus better. Also forgot my torch to brighten the foreground up a bit.

Great shots. Couple of ways I learned to focus was to either auto focus on something distant and then switch over to manual. Or focus on the moon and then set up. Those are the easiest ways I've found to get the stars in focus.

Yeah I use live view to focus on a star, I then zoom on the screen but it is still difficult. I imagine in the process of moving from one spot to another I am inadvertently touching the focus ring.

Need to back into photography. Just did a short course to refresh the basic skills.

Upgraded from Nikon D3100 to 5300, money always a good motivator to get back into it I figure.....can anyone recommend some basic filters? Is it a case of you get what you paid for?...

Nice pics btw too guys , been ages since ive visited the thread.

Another question if theres anyone out there too, any good value tripods around the $100-150 mark?

Looking at other forums, sounds like a lot of people are forking out upwards of 500-700 bucks. I'll never get that past the treasurer.

I've seen them once before at Aldi for $120 if I remember, and I didn't grab it but I generally figure it wouldn't be bad condition considering Aldi has some alright stuff. Keep an eye out, can't remember brand or anything.

Looks like the Canon 5Ds is set to be announced next week.

In the market for a new camera. Have to check it out.

Can anyone point me in some free resources/online courses for a beginner?

Have really started to think about doing some sort of course for me to get into the basics of photography.

Speaking from experience, poor quality tripods are worthless, you're much better off better waiting until you can afford it and getting a good manfrotto or gitzo - then you'll have a good tripod that will last a lifetime.

There may be some decent Chinese tripods out there now but I haven't researched it.

All good, ended up going with a Benro IT25, very happy with it.
