In keeping with the general discussion threads found in other subforums, a place for us to chat about things.

Anyway, I'm looking at hiring a studio for a day sometime this summer, just need to conceptualise the images a bit more, I've got two definite shots already, but I need more ideas. I might have to invest in a proper lighting course.

Cool, I just bought myself a brand new Sony Alpha A300X with a wide angle lens, an 18-70mm macro lens, a 2x teleconverter, two tripods and a carrying case for a little under $600. Just the body from Sony is that much.

Good deal, how'd you get it that cheap?
I'm looking to get an SB600 flash and a 35mm f1.8 lens, birthday soon so I should be able to purchase them, would definitely help my nightclub shots, as the flash just isn't good enough.

A friend bought it and didn't realize what it was. I saw him with it and he had no clue what to do with it so I offered him for it.

Don't people get pissed at you when you start flashing that thing around?

Depends on the club really, but most of the time people are more than willing to pull embarassing faces and poses for the camera. Thank god for unknowledgeable friends!

Haha I think this thread is great - I made a guild chat too, where all are welcome to chat but I think this one is better. Hopefully it does not get closed :)

So what did everyone do today?

Too bad the guild thread is almost dead, aside from the occasional post.

Studying for finals, getting a speech on Macro Photography ready, and learning about some more features on my camera, mostly.
