Newb Shots

[Jet Black]

Second time using a DSLR. I borrowed a friends 6D and rented 70-200 f2.8L IS II for the weekend. I've got to get me one of these! I learned a lot shooting in manual, wow there's a lot to this.

Nice job!

If you think there's a lot to this nowdays, you should have been around when we shot film! LOL!!!

That day in the blind would have cost you about $60 in film and processing (or more) and you would have no idea what you captured until days later.

DSLR's make pro photographers out of all of us. Esp. the new crop bodies, long lenses and high ISO capability we enjoy now. I can take a $1000 400 5.6 lens and get MORE out of it than what would have cost me $10,000 back in the film days, plus, the shooting is virtually free once the equipment is purchased.

It's night-and-day different today with this technology. Esp. being able to shoot at ISO 200 or 400 vs. ISO 50 or 100. Yes, a lot of us shot at ISO 50 (Fuji Velvia) and no image stabilization, for years...

That means that some of the photos you just posted were not only difficult to obtain just 15 years ago, they may have been flat-out impossible to obtain because we would have to shoot at shutter speeds 4-5 stops slower to get the same exposure and image quality.

One thing that doesn't change is good lenses, and it looks like you rented a good one for sure.

If someday you REALLY want to learn photography, get a Pentax K1000 full manual film body and go shoot a couple rolls of black and white film. Believe me, when every shot costs you cash, and you don't get a second chance, you slow down and pay attention! ha, ha.

I'm very grateful I started shooting very seriously back in the early 90's. Those lessons of exposure control, aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, ISO, etc. will stay with me the rest of my life, and make my photography with a DSLR SO much better.

Good for you for getting out and enjoying a new hobby. It sure is fun.

The field dressing is a lot easier and cleaner too.
