I cheaped on a tripod, FOR THE TIME BEING, because it was going to be stationary and I'd probably be right next to it, but I didn't want a cheap shoulder strap when I'm traveling.
I'd be getting the RS-Sport for 69.99. Yes, expensive, but I just feel like this is something I should definitely spend good money on.
Yep I use a Black Rapid Strap. RS Sport to be Exact. Your will love it. Its great when you cary a decently heavy camera and lens. You can just drop it and at whatever adjustment you have is where it will end up. Great Product.
Also have some ThinkTank Gear. Got hole belt setup where I can cary a ton of gear all on my side.

I do see that there is a Sport and Sport Slim.. Have to figure out which one will work better for me.

Ah, sweet. From the reviews I've read it sounds amazing, definitely.

I personally don't like buying cheap gear even if its just a strap. Not attaching my 4k camera and lens to a 20 strap. Buy yeah I would say a girl get the slim if your a guy get the regular one. $70 really is nothing compared to what your going to spend of some of those things.

Besides the obvious focus issue you could definitely use some lighting up front on the grill and whatnot. Seems a bit too dark there. Vignette may be a bit too harsh as well. Otherwise definitely a solid concept, it's put together well as far as composition

Besides being blurry lighting is a big issue on this picture. Did you even use a flash on this picture or did you just use the lighting in the room.
I would have done some lightpainting on this location in this room with a extremely long exposure to see if I could come up with something cool.
Thanks for posting the picture keep practicing and learn how to utilize the light to your favor.

I would spend money too but $60 for a strap is ridiculous. It's all made in China anyway and the strap is solid. Virtually identical. With Black Rapid you're paying for that logo big time. The same goes with certain tripods. Manfrottos are nice but you're paying for that name when there are plenty of cheaper tripods out there with just as good quality, for example.
I could have easily pieces together the car rig myself much much cheaper. But I doubt someone with a really nice car would let me attach a home made rig to that. Hence why I got someone with a logo and a name on it just so they could see money was invested in something nice.
But yeah I hear your point and its valid. But unfortunately just wont work for me.

I agree with this as well. No doubt there. I always prefer a name brand myself. I have issues and like to spend money. Sometimes I just cant help it.

So my brother is trying to sell his beloved 06 STI so we went out and took a few pictures. i took some of my favorites and tried to edit them a little bit. So here they are. Im aware that a few are quite noisy but keep in mind im a bit of a noob. BTW! these were all handheld. I need to get a tripod for these dark shots. thats why some r a bit noisy.
