what camera was it taken with innesshell?

 

nikon d800

 

More importantly, which lens?

 

nikkor 24-70 2.8

 

Thanks ^ lol. Photography newb here.. looking for a nice camera sometime in the near future

 

i bought a nikon d3100 got an incredible deal and the pictures are awesome!

 

nice pic! Don't usually like "mad eyelids" but not bad sir and looks great on yours!

 

Holy God, the 24-70mm lense is $1,900 by itself.

Must have a killer deal, I'm looking at the D5100 right now. Lense is only the 18-55 though.

 

funny enough, the Canon equipvalent is around ~$1000 used. That Nikon lens is also around $1200-$1400 mint used. Best lens I have so far also.

 

used market for those is good, use to have one for travel but the build did not stand up to sand, hikes, abuse, wet, etc. I shoot on an older nikon d2xs as a travel. Old but lenses are what makes magic. If your in that 5100 used range of 300$-400$ i would look at a d300 (if you can opt out video) or older d7000. for 130ish you can pick up a nikkor 35mm 1.8 for dx. tack sharp for its price.


on another note for some reason my remote for the 350z crapped out today. Not a bad battery. Anyone else have this issue?

 

not the new one over 2k but it has nice glass.

 

Having done the SLR thing, i can safely say, don't get the lens kit packs, buy the body only and get a specific higher quality lens.

Budget for that, not the for the price you see with the kit lens. Whilst the kit lenses take nice enough pictures, they're nothing compared to *any* have decent 'non-stock' lens, even if you just get the 'pancake' lens (next on my list)


So yes, that does look like a $1900 lens picture Hence why i asked

 

5100s are listed new now for $380ish on some sites. Those come with the 18-55 lens kit though.

Edit: I will look into just the body and then buying a lens. Anyone have any recommendations for a bangin lens that's less expensive?

 

i am moving away from nikkor and more third party now since they are beginning to step up their game. I took a gamble back in Jan when the sigma released their 35 1.4. its by far the sharpest lens in my bag wide open under a grand.

recent sample: http://www.photojht.com/Pets/Pomeran...SC_0040-X2.jpg

shot at 1.6 on my d2 no pp. but hands down a 24-70 is all MOST photographer will ever need.

 

Just helped a buddy remove the rear sway bar. I forgot it was a PITA to remove without unbolting the exhaust.

 

well it wasnt today, but this weekend helped a buddy pull engine and trans out of a g35.... new motor should be here this week.

 

whats going in?

 

ls2, got the sikky kit last week.... sooo pretty.

 

Did the rear springmount mod, and gave her a good wash

 

thought about doing that on my car, but i am soooo ocd i would drive myself crazy making sure they were exactly the same
