I lovelovelove it
It works so well even though my camera won't auto focus with it, so I have to go manual all the time. It's really sharp and super fast - I can just click away at top speed!
k.a.t, do you plan to get different lenses for your D60? If so, I recommend going with the D80 or 70 instead - they both have interntal motoring so you can use almost any lens you want and still auto focus, while the D60 does not.

lol. see my username.
am a huge photogeek (am 5 months from having a BFA in photography from savannah college of art and design!) as well ask makeupdork
this is a great thread!
am a canon devotee (30D currently) and have been for years. I'm odd in that I started with digital back when I was 13 and everyone was like "whoooaaa...it has a SCREEN? where do you put the film?" to my first digital. then fell in love with the darkroom and practially lived in them for 4 years (in highschool and then when I decided to persue photography in college) just to go back to digital because I love studio photography so much. hope to be in beauty/glamour photography commercially.
here's my website (needs some updates! but still)

just wondering if any of you ladies (and gents!) out there are a PRO member b/c of your photography???
I thought of becoming a member, but felt guilty because I'm just a free-lance/amateur. I do some portraits and did some head shots for an aspiring model friend, but usually only work for people who know me. So, I'm not really into photography for a full time career even though I always get paid. I even did the girls makeup when I did their head shots and portraits!
I feel like I've been in the art world my whole life and should qualify for the PRO card, but just feel guilty b/c my main career isn't photography. (or anything that would qualify for the PRO card...) I'm an art historian, BTW (working in museums and writing a WHOLE LOT) and just finished my B.A. in Art History. I just completed my final thesis. (Presenting it in less than two weeks, wish me luck!!)
So, and advice from all you photographers out there? Would it be morally wrong for me, as a free lance, part time photographer to apply for a PRO card?
oh, and sorry this question is kind of off topic. I know there is a discussion about the PRO card. I just thought that posing here would get more specific results since y'all are also photographers and most people posting on the other PRO question thread are Makeup artists. But, if you feel this post should be moved, etc. feel free! I won't be offended.
oh, and I know I linked to some of my art before, here is a better link to my photos only if anyone is interested. I'm working on getting more of it up ASAP. Nelly's Photos

Ooo, photographers thread!
I've been shooting semi-professionally for a few years now. I do a lot of automotive events like drag racing and drifting, and studio work with models. I'm trying to break into cat photography as silly as that sounds... but I love cats and you'd be very surprised to learn how much people will pay for that stuff...
I shoot Nikon, both film and digital.

Semi-pro here also! I've just graduated with a HND in Applied Multimedia but I'm going onto a BA in Photography this November to further my skills. I mainly shoot event photography at the moment, and have been hired by pro gaming organisations and events in the past. I'd love to do this as a career, maybe not something studio based though - something in Clinical Photography would be interesting. I currently shoot with a Canon 400D and have 4 lenses ranging from macro to telephoto.
It's wonderful to see others lurking on here. I absolutely love those macro water drop images!

I'm not a pro but, I looooooove photography and thankfully, I don't suck at it
I don't have an SLR yet. Sometime in the future for sure though. For now, I'm thinking of buying either a [FONT=verdana,sans-serif]Canon Powershot A110 IS and Sony Cybershot [/FONT][FONT=verdana,sans-serif]DSC-S980/S (both basic 12.1 mps, 3X opt zoom). But, the AA batteries thing sucks for Canon ... I'd love to share some of my shots soon

I like to think I'm a photographer despite having no actual qualifications, I don't even have an SLR camera but I think I understand my current camera enough to take some nice shots.
Sadly, the only shots which I have taken recently in macro are of the sticker my brother has on his car. I know it's no great achievement but my profile pic was taken by me and it's one of my favourite shots.
We should have a thread where people can post up their photography pics

A few weeks ago I got Canon's new SX20 IS for a everyday point and shoot type camera (DSLRs get heavy to lug around...) It does AA batteries, but I'm still on the original ones that came with the camera about 700 shots later, even after heavy flash use! I definitely recommend the camera, though, it has 20x zoom and it's insane. I don't know your budget, though... as it is a $400 camera. But it's almost as close to a DSLR as you can get for the money, and is a nice camera to step up to before going bigger as it has a lot of the manual features you'd find on an SLR.
It's the black sheep of my cameras, LOL. I tell the Nikons not to pick on it when I'm not a around

Havent been on here for a long time, but thought I'd mention that i'm now doing a Photography Degree at university
recently done photos with the 120 film Hasselblad (medium format) and also large format (5x4) cameras in style of camera obscura.
It's incredibly hard but fun! Recent photo gig was Alice Cooper
