Quick question, if I want to acheive a daytime long exposure image somewhat like the one below on the bottom, (doesnt have to be as drastic) do I need a density filter? If so, any recommendations?

Thanks

if you want to shoot during daytime one, you'll wanna get a 10 stop ND filter. Or maybe stack filters .

A ND + Graduated ND.

B+W makes a good screw on one. If you have more money, invest in Lee Filter Holder system. It took me 4 months to receive it but well worth it. All you need is adapters and you can use the glass/resin filters for any filter thread size. Very pricey though.

How does having a 12 megapixel camera limit you as opposed to a T2i with 18 megapixels? I'm not sure I'll ever blow up a picture past something like 12x10.

And where is the best place to find information on lenses on the internet? Any recommendations on a kit lens or something that will at least get me started so I can figure out what kind of nice lens I'd like to invest in?

I had the T2i and the 18 megapixels were certainly great for cropping or blowing up big prints. The downfall is the size of the files are much bigger and take up more space and my computer wasn't the quickest.

I have a 5D Mark II after getting a great deal and I find myself shooting with the sRAW 10mp option (small raw) for smaller files. The biggest I print is 8x10

If you are printing at 300dpi,

4x6 = 2.2 MP

5x7 = 3.2 MP

8x10 = 7.2 MP

11x14 = 13.9 MP

13x17 = 20 MP

If you're looking for Canon, POTN has a great lens archive where you can find many shots from almost every Canon mount (Canon and 3rd party) lenses. THREAD HERE.

I'm unsure about Nikon but I'm sure you can find good info on Flickr or Amazon.

As for the Nikon vs Canon debate, both are capable of taking great pictures and the battle will never end. I liked Canon because more prime lens variety and many different versions of lenses for cheaper options.

Nikons D90 body is much better built than the T2i. The T2i and all Rebel bodies are beginner bodys comparable to the D3000, D5000 line. The D90 has a body simliar to Canon's XXD line (40D, 50D, 60D).

Rambled a bit but I hope that helps.

PS- Do not buy the T2i/7D/5D Mark II for video. It is a great option and you can get some great movies but here are the cons:

- Focusing is difficult to learn. Really difficult. Don't expect to be shooting stuff like the season finale of House unless you plan on spending thousands of dollars on video equipment.

- My T2i would overheat after 20-30 minutes of straight recording.

Those two reasons alone is why I picked up a Kodak Playsport to record videos. Its not practical to hold a heavy DSLR when these cheap pocket cams that shoot 1080p or 720p 60FPS are only $120. The playsport can record underwater too.

i think the main reason that nostalgic "loled" was because of the black crop and the name on the photo. most the time when people add that stuff to a photo it is usually a visually stunning landscape or a groundbreaking photo (all tho i think that crap looks stupid on any photo).. but in your case it just seems unnecessary. my advice is to leave the black crop and the name out. keep shooting and dont be scared to post more photos in this thread!

sorry if that paragraph sounds weird or doesnt make sense.. i just blazed an L and had trouble explaining myself lol.

Lol that makes sense. I thought it kinda looked like Tron or some weird shit so I went for a cinematic look. Guess it didn't work. I like doing portraits better

jb you got some great shots. Do you do that for a living?

loolz^^^^^

Well if you got advice for me, let me know cause I'm learning.

P.S.. i'm not hating, I actually really want to know what you think about the photo cause constructive criticism is very beneficial to me.
