Yep that's it.

The vuvuzela sounds from last year's WC finally hit the moon and are echoing back.

Seriously though, I find this sort of interesting.
HAARP?

Quote from The Very End :

Seems like beer with lemon taste is getting more and more popular. For example the Danish beer "Turborg" started last year selling beers with a little bit lemon flavour. Not much of a different taste that the originally, maybe even a bit sweeter if anything.

Cherry beer ("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriek") is very popular here, especially with women.
Very pronounced sweet/sour taste, unlike lemon beer. I like it tbh.

We also have raspberry, peach, banana, grape, ... But I've never tried any of those.

I'd guess from the tyre shadows it's a single bare bulb speedlight from high camera left, nearly (?) 90 degrees to the subject? And yeah, he's good.

Pretty sure the flash is on the right side now that I take a better look
The shadow between left and middle wheel, is cast by the middle one.
Look at the spoke shadows.

EDIT: Oh wait no. I think you're right. Totally confused now.

EDIT2: Flash left-high and reflector on the right? Don't get how else the right side of his face could be lit.

Awesome shot Don!

Was that with an on-camera flash or studio (ring-)flash/strobe?

Been trying out some HDR stuff.
I really need a tripod !

Here's some random scenery from my road trip.

Awesome!

Were u driving while you shot the second one?
Or maybe just a very strong wind?

EDIT:
Taken close to Rivage-corner (Spa), but facing the other direction



And a pissed off guy who ruined my shot of an helicopter

I luuuurrrvv forrest shots
very nice!

Group A looks killer to me. I actually think City will finish ahead of Bayern there. United - Benfica and Barca - Milan interesting too.

Quote from wildstyle :

Very cool indeed!

Have you done any post processing?

Just some saturation and lighting levels + vignette

colors are real

EDIT: and cropped

Shot at night 1:30am with a little help from the lightning acting as a huge flash 13 sec @ f1.8 iso500

Where are the cat photos? You can't just purchase a DSLR and cool lenses and not post pictures of pets!

No cats around here.
Got an out-of-focus dog tho.
Isn't my dog, but he shits on our lawn daily.

My dad has been spraying wolf-piss-in-a-can all over but the damn thing is fearless!

Got my first DSLR since yesterday!
Nikon D90 together with Nikkor 35mm/f.18 and Tamron 17-50mm/f2.8.
I'm slowly getting the hang of it and enjoying it ALOT so far.
Tomorrow I'll take it to a trip to the Ardennes maybe.

Criticism very welcome!

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Your idea of a walkaround lens + a prime to start is a good one. I'd suggest the 35/1.8 over the 50/1.8 if you want it for more general use. The 50/1.8 will be a bit narrow in terms of FOV for parties and whatnot. On a DX camera, the 35/1.8 has a FOV equivalent to a 50mm (aka "normal") lens on film/FX.

If you want reviews of the Nikon zoom lenses, check out this page. (The 18-105 seems to get nice reviews there, overall.)

UV filters are generally purchased separately, but tbh I wouldn't worry about them at all. I never have.

Ah yea i meant 18-105, not 15-105

Guess I'll go for that one and the 35mm then.
Would it be pointless to buy a circular polarisation filter for both the 35mm and the 18-105mm? Not much sun here in Belgium anyways

Also, anyone has any experience mounting a DSLR to a telescope for astrophotography?
I own a Skywatcher 127mm/1500mm Maksutov-Cassegrain.
A 1,5" eyepiece with a DX thingy on top would be ideal, but I'm guessing it's not gonna be that easy.

Hi,

I'm considering getting started with DSLR's.
Im probably gonna buy a Nikon D90, but i can't quite decide on the lenses.

Was thinking about buying 1 general purpose lens ( eg Nikkor 15-105 f/3.5-5.6 ) and 1 prime 35 or 50mm f/1.8
Which one of these primes is best for taking random photos of friends/family at parties etc? How far away do i have to be with them to make some decent shots?
Also not sure yet about the 15-105

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

Do UV Filters or lens protectors come with the lenses? Or do you have to buy them separately?
