I wish I had the money to upgrade my rig to a digital Canon

I have good ole 35mm Canon Rebel and my 12mp Kodak Easyshare

LMAO Between the two I can do a lot of what I want... but I dream of the day when I get a nice upscale digital Canon SLR!!!!

Foamboard.... I might have to try that. I built a lightbox out of pvc once

It was ok. I almost always use natural lighting. I've had to use my lighting set-up for my chicks since I don't want the nieghbors to see them

I have NO skills with a flash! Maybe if I had some of those nice slave flashes...maybe

Goatkeepers,
Actually the Nikon D80 is a nice camera. My friend has one and I use it all the time.

Guitartists,

My flash skills are limited as well. I just sort of aim it up to the top of the foamboard to get it to bounce (softer shadows) and hope for the best. Really any camera will do, it doesn't have to be an SLR. The only difference using a point and shoot might be a greater lag time between when you push the shutter button and when the camera takes the picture. The 30D is only an 8mp camera. I'll have to use my boyfriend's Canon S5 to see how that does compared to my 30D.

What a great idea!

Yeah, honestly, I hate shooting with flash. My pics always come out washed out. I have a sony cybershot w100 right now... I've never liked using flash, unless I absolutely have to.

The foamboard; do you get that at wal-mart? Or michael's? I'll have to try that!

 

[jakmallex]

I know for sure Michael's has foam board, walmart might too. I need to get a background that has a color to it. Taking photos of white silkies against a white background isn't working so well.

PICTURES TO BE PROUD OF! Great job!

I take pictures of my babies almost every day it seems. It is neat to see them the first day we got them, and then now!

Good looking birds, great idea too.
