Photographers Meet Up

**fancyfootwork** · 03-13-2011, 11:44 AM

Whats crazy to think is how much photographers these days rely on programs to edit their photos. How many of you used film? Also, what cameras are we all using? I have a Nikon D40.

Yes, ya do need a newer up to date machine when running some of these photo applications.
Got this machine a year ago with an Intel Dualcore 2.50GHz with 4GB of RAM. Both Lightroom and Photoshop run smooth.

They would not have on the previous computer.

Do ninety-five per cent of my work on Lightroom.

Is it sad that I don't have nor have I used Lightroom? I only use Adope PS CS4. I'd love to join in on the conversations and learn some more. I shoot with a Canon XTi for now. My cousin who shoots professionally is getting rid of a 5D Mark II soon (moving into videography and needs a true HD camera) and I'm going to pick that up. I shoot with L glass so I can live with the XTi for now.

I have used, developed, and even made my own prints, though that was a long time ago.

I am currently shooting a Canon 7d, and still have my 20d body collecting dust.

I just got in my 24-70 EF f2.8 L
Also shoot a lot with my 50mm EF 1.8 (I love this lens)
Also in my collection:
10-22 EF-S
17-85 EF-S
And I need to rent the 70-200 f2.8 L before I decide between the f4 or the f2.8.

70-200 f2.8 IS MKII for sure!!! I just sold my MKI, and have had the MKII since it first came out! It is a great lens! No just because of the extra stop, but also the new IS system...
