The TPU Darkroom - Digital SLR and Photography Club

I went to circut city for their closeout (not worth it yet) to try and get my telephoto and wide angle lenses as well as some filters. They had none, and nothign else worth buying. Best Buy was still cheaper at regular prices than Circut City at supposed clearance prices.

 

they mark their prices up then advertise them at closeout cost so people buy it.

People see closeout and automatically think its a good deal. And since CC is all sales final, they get screwed over.

When compusa was going out around Houston, the only good things they had were cases and psu's that were marked down, coolers and mobo's proc were still hella expensive

 

I need a good Macro lens, but I need one on a small budget. My camera is EF-S. Any suggestions from anyone?

 

Yeah, AF doesn't matter to me. Unfortunately, no camera shops in my area will rent or lend out lenses.

How much did that Sigma set you back?

 

That I'll have to look into. Didn't think of that. It would only cost me a little time if I didn't like the lens.

 

DAMN! serious lense W1zz

 

sign me up, I'm taking a black and white film photography class this semester, ill post pics along the way.

 

Sick lens W1zz!

jbunch, what camera do you have?

 

Canon rebel EOS Ti

 

Sweet! So a film camera, right? I assume this is what they based the Rebel XTi off of.

 

that is correct, its a 35mm film camera!

 

Sweet! Black and white photography sounds awesome. The way you get B&W on a film camera is with a filter, right?

 

No, you just buy black and whit film.

 

Ah...that makes sense...the tragedies of being young

 

Lol its ok, it's first time using a film camera in a long time so don't feel bad!

 

I am new here. Just thought I would upload some of my pictures.

@Frederik- Very nice pics indeed!

I noticed you live in Denmark, any where near Nykobing by anychance?

 

@thoughtdisorder, Thanks!

There are actually two cities called Nykøbing in Denmark one in Falster and one on Sjælland. I live quite a bit away from both actually, I like 15 km north of Copehagen. The train shot was done in an underground train station in Copenhagen called Nørreport, maybe you have been there if you ever visited Copenhagen.

 

That first picture is soo awesome. I may have a new wallpaper

 

Nerdy stuff...




Stairway to...?

 

Nice pics Frederik!

 

Thanks DanishDevil!
Are you from Denmark by any chance?
