The photography thread

Went wandering through the city doing the touristy thing and testing out my new camera (Nikon D90 18-200mm VR2 Nikkor lens)





Edit - how do i link pics from my flickr page to the forum?
i tried the share link from flickr and posted it using the "image" function

I don't know but you need to be looking for something that gives you an address with an actual image file in it - the addresses you have on those images are just internet directory addresses, thus why you aren't getting any images up in your post.

They're nice shots though

Does anyone know of a good tripod brand / type for a Canon EOS 7D??

Very new to this photography world and want to buy something light and portable, not too over the top.. and not too expensive..

Any particular brand that people have good experiences with or can recommend?

You used the address of a web page, not the image.
Just grabbing the address of the image on each of those pages gives this:

sweet....so so where do i get that?

I right-clicked on the image on each page, and selected "Properties" and copied the address.
As the owner of the gallery, there should be somewhere on the page it lists code to display the image on a forum, which probably includes the img tags as well.

im still very new to flickr...dunno if i like it yet either?!
i did have a bit of look around and could only find a link to its website, to blog it or another link i couldnt understand...ill have another hunt around and get familiarized with it all later tonight.

so far though im very happy with the camera and the lens is pretty good. very versatile and easy to use.
little slow in the dark, and with some wide shots at 18mm you notice darkening ever so slightly to the corners

They look pretty good mate.
I also have a D90 but i got the twin lens kit.
I dont know much about cameras, but i reckon its a darn good camera!

Did a loop of the Blue Mountains with swingn and senator yesterday. Stopped at Mt Victoria for a late lunch

A must for any cafe in the Blue Mountains this time of year


This also did a couple of laps trying to find a spot to park.
