Hey guys, if one of you would be nice enough , id like to see a picture, preferably of a car taken with a dslr, any brand I guess.

But when you take the picture, have the camera set on "auto" and do not edit it any way. Just looking to see how the pic would come out. Thinking of investing in a dslr of some sourt.

Thanks!!

 

im pretty sure this one is from my Nikon D5000 DSLR

 

i know this one is

 

sony a230

 

Auto FTL!
Buying a dslr and shooting auto is like buying a fast car and driving 5 under.
I had read the entire manual and countless articles and forum threads before my t2i was even delivered.
You get more accurate pictures if you shoot in manual.

I would recommend the Canon T2i. I love mine. The T3i is out now so the T2i is much cheaper and it's nearly identical.

 

meh I spent 200 on my a230 with a tripod lol and you see how it takes pics....Im new to it so I use auto for a few photos....for beginning its perfect.

 

Yeah I'd recommend the T3i or T2i as well

 

Exactly, auto mode is never a good choice unless you don't care. Better to learn how to use one.

 

If you get a T2i I have a "t2i for dummies" book I'll send you for whatever it costs to ship.
Read it plus your manual then go shoot a thousand or so pictures.

 

Yeah... no pics with it set to Auto in my arsenal. They still look good. A lot of the above photos look like ass though... but that is more than likely from their image host watering down and shrinking the photo in an effort to save space.

Flickr seems to do the best job at preserving the quality of a photo. I might have taken this one in Auto because I was in a hurry... but I don't think I did.



I'll take that book.

Been looking at upgrading to a T#i.

Been a while since I looked at them. Last time I looked at a camera... the T1i was just coming out.

 

whats wrong with mine?

 

Actually, your's looks great. No issue there. The first two, however... look horrid.

 

 

the first 2 are very bad, doesnt look like a good camera was involved, i can show you some of mine that i have taken with no knolage of my dslr edited and non edited.

 

oh yeah I agree...it was perfect shade I think lol theres looks like a point and shoot

I started out using auto and still do but I also play with manual if I have time

 

From my old blackberry

 

Setting the ISO to 100 is one of the best things for shooting quality shots from a stand, imo. The higher the ISO, the more grainy the photo will appear. Dropping the ISO improves the quality of the shot, but also requires more time for the shot to be taken... so keep that in mind. When not using a stand... it might not be optimal to shoot at 100.

Turbo Tech Racing???

smh...

 

Do you not see it on the giant piece of **** that was my old passport?



You think I do things without some sort of sarcasm behind them?

 

here are some pics i snapped to quickly show off the tow hooks

 

Yeah shooting in auto is no bueno, ESPECIALLY if you have a DSLR. I shoot through manual, always. I prefer be able to change my shutter speed, aperture, etc.

 

I don't really shoot in auto with my T1i, can't help ya

 

Whining deivl and nate those pics don't look bad at all!

Mikey b your pics are amaziiiing. Would kill to take shots like you ll.

 

you+reading=fail
op wanted DSLR

 

You won't shoot in auto once you get one

 

The thing is I don't know much about photography, like ISO and whatever else stuff I wouldn't know when to use it lol
