What does everyone shoot with??

[Frantasmic]

I know I'm not the only one on this forum without a dSLR (Oh the horrors !)

There was an article in this month's Popular Photography magazine about shooting fall foliage. One of the examples was a woman who shot mostly with the Canon A75. She liked the wide angle it provided her. Her picture was really nice.

Nikon Guy. D3 and I just picked up a D90 (came today) for a backup and disney world body for november 1-9.

I really like using large format view cameras: Thats the kind of old style camera you think of when you imagine 1800's photography with the guy under the big black cloth. It's fun (but heavy) as well as developing your own film and making prints the old fashion way. 100% manual/mechanical system other than a lightmeter.

I have a Nikon D80 and I was wondering cause I saw some pictures how the main picture of the object is clear and the background is blurry and that looks cool but was wondering how do you manage to do that? anyone got suggestions let me know thanks.

You need to use a very fast lens and open the aperture wide open. If you just go the D80 and are using a kit lens then its probably 3.5 at the max... that isn't fast enough to get the maximum blur in the background. I think Nikon just came out with a 50mm 1.4 autofocus but it will cost you about $350... if you wanted even more blur you can get a manual focus 50mm 1.2 (maybe a little cheaper used, but its a bear to focus on a dslr).

Haven't necessarily started shooting yet, but I ordered my Nikon D60...it was supposed to arrive tomorrow, but it looks like it'll be here early so I can start the fun TONIGHT! Woohoo!!!

So excited to start learning and start shooting. We'll be in CT/MA for a weekend and I plan on going to Mystic and maybe Newport to get some practice. There is a really neat outdoor sculpture "gallery" near me, so that's an option...and best of all, my favorite place in the nice weather...the Philadelphia Zoo
