my wife has decided that we need to get a good dSLR to take pictures of our kid. I don't really know much about photography, but I'm kinda interested in learning. since my father has a Nikon D80 I was thinking I'd get a D90 or D7000 so I could borrow his lenses from time to time. people seem to have really good things to say about both of these models. which one should I get? do they have enough automatic modes that my wife, who is sometimes reluctant to learn anything new regarding technology, can kinda point and shoot with it?
[Photography] Show and Tell Spring 2011 Edition
- Thread starter CosmicBlend
- Start date
Got out to the lake yesterday for some fishing. Decided to try taking a few HDRs. I only brought a crap tripod with a wobbly camera base that my roommate found at work. Ill have to try some more with my gorilla pod. Can't wait to see how graffiti comes out.
I think maybe I could've gotten a better shot at a different(lower?) aperture here. I shot it at f 16. I probably over processed a bit too. This was my first time. Any advice is welcome. I have the 2 pictures, 10 total in RAW as well as the 32/16bit hdr.psd of each

Spent easter driving up and down the coast checking out things, this is a metal tree on the coast of a city called Cardwell that bore the brunt of the recent cyclone Yasi. I said metal, and yes, it is bent. I also visited a few other areas but didn't take out the camera out of respect for the home owners, but its scary to see large swathes of land with house stumps and pools near them with nothing else left.
This is Cardwell, up near the marquee the metal tree above was taken. Note the busted jetty, I couldn't walk on it to take my panorama as I intended unfortunately.
This is Hull Heads which was pretty badly damaged. Every house in the picture is either completely destroyed like the one in the center of frame with the excavator on it, or it has structural damage. The thing is, people are sitting on what is left of their balconies drinking beer on ANZAC day, good on em.
And finally, this is Townsville, where I spent easter pretty much. I had fun Ice Skating and Bowling, whee.
If you want more photos of destruction, follow the link.

Oh, and why? Because this forum lets me post huge pictures.

I like this picture. You need another angle to remove the branch on the right side. I know nothing about photography, but the sky line looks weird. The waterline looks awesome.

Gasworks Park nice.
I'm gonna go there again when I get my medium format back from repairs.
Yeah I noticed the weirdness with the skyline on my new monitor. Thanks Jim B. I'm guessing I could use the dodge tool on it, but there may be an easier way I dunno. Didn't even notice that branch till now either.
I wanted to get more shots in this morning but it started raining on me right after I took the first pic I posted. I hadn't been there before today. I kept seeing it going to and from work on the aurora bridge and figured it would be a cool place to shoot.

It would be so much cooler if there weren't so many smelly hobos hanging around there.
