The secret of how I take good photos is: I ask myself, is the photo I'm about to take, going to be the exact same thing that everyone else takes photos of, in the exact same way?
If the answer is, "Yes", then I don't take the photo. Consequently, I haven't been taking many pictures of fursuiters.

Previously, I used to use a Nikon D50, N90s, an old Nikkomat from the 1950s, and an old 1950's Myamaflex medium format body. (I've been doing photography for a long time…)

Date: 2007-02-04 02:06 pm (UTC)I think most disposable cameras have wide-wide-wide angle lenses, I guess to get everything into the frame, so whatever you're taking a picture of will be in there somewhere, even if it is very tiny. [And other speculations about the average person's choices about composition and subject matter.]
How much money are you willing to spend? And how much time to invest? You can start off with a fifty year old 35mm camera body, if you can afford film and processing. You can get a digital SLR setup, very much like I used to use for around US$600 new. (Nikon D40 and 50mm f/1.8 lens) There are cheep/crappy consumer point and shoot digital cameras for like US$100 these days, but they do have a delay when you take a picture. And you (if you're at all like me) need to fight with the camera over control, otherwise everything comes out looking just like everyone else's crappy snapshots. (And the automatic features can be too much of a dangerous crutch if you're learning photography. It's really best to do everything manually when you're learning the technical aspects of photography. (And limit yourself to a prime lens to learn composition.))
(I had been doing photography for four years, before I got a camera that needed batteries. And even then, I only used the auto-focus and the light meter. My D200 was in Manual mode for most of FC.)

Date: 2007-01-24 12:57 pm (UTC)I notice you went to Pantheacon last year. Any plans to go again?
... And, also, incredible pictures. :)

Date: 2007-02-03 11:46 pm (UTC)I do plan on going, and actually spending more time there this year - in contrast to last year. From the question, I'm assuming that you will be there as well?

Thanks a ton!!!

Correct.

Date: 2007-02-04 12:02 am (UTC)Oh yeah, I was also going to say: I think I have several more photos like that, which I can send you. Once I get around to sorting everything out [in progress now].
