    what kind of camera do you use :s im gonna ask for one for christmas. suggestions would be great. i'll probably be shooting both action and stills, but leaning towards more action though. ohh bee tee dubs: took this with my dad's Canon EOS Rebel a while back. wish i could have that camera :(

    Well it depends on your price range. I use a Pentax K-x, an entry-level dSLR, which although I haven't had it very long, I'm very satisfied with. It cost me around $500. If you want a point&shoot, the one I have is a Canon Powershot A590. It's a bit bulky, but at the time I got it it was pretty much the best I could get for under $200. By now I'm sure there's probably better.

    I've been shooting for about a month a lil more or so. I own a Nikon D3000 with the kit lens (Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G) As well as a macro lens (52mm Sigma AF Macro 1:2.8) A $20 Bower fisheye lens (AF 0.42X58mm superwide angle) And jah. I'm not uber savvy with the lens stuff and so.... I'm still learning Here's some of my pics:

    My terrible attempt at a tilt photograph, I recently got one of my mom's old camera's and wanted to start shooting with it. I took it out the other day and only had enough battery to take 1 picture... this was it. I'm thinking about cropping the water bit though. So this is my first actual photo :D

    watermarks are not necessarily a bad thing, but they are never, ever a good thing. The background is distracting, the reflections on the car are distracting, there are ugly-ass people in the back, and the composition is completely static, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but certainly doesn't work for a picture of a car.

    @Tetsip how do you add the effect where the farther away scenery/objects are more blurred? Anyway...

    That's called "depth of field." It's the part of the photo which is within acceptable focus. It's affected by aperture, distance from the plain of focus, lens focal length, and size of the sensor. Most of your average point-and-shoot cameras' sensors are too small to get a small DOF without getting very close. Titslip is shooting with a DSLR, which has a much bigger sensor, and so makes it much easier to get a small DOF.

    It's way easier to just do it in post-production with a soft focus though. You can physically give that effect by messing with DSLR lenses or you can' just post-produce it. Even my "photoshop mobile" app on my phone can do it, pretty simple edit

    The Bokeh filter you're using to blur the background is not appropriate for daytime shots...
