sooo sharp man...love it a lot!

looks like JimmyCarter is the winner! congrats!!

i use a higher shutter when im shooting skiing, like 1/1000th

no...just turn it all the way to bulb, which is past 30 seconds...then for as long as u hold the shutter release down, it will remain open..this is where you want a remote or some kind of device to...

i dont think im allowed to add in more contestants

oh VOTING ENDS MARCH 10th

im sorry about the selection... :(

this was a really tough choice...i probably had about 12 that I had to narrow down to 5...well done everyone...some nice b&ws!!!!

GOOD LUCK! and PLEASE VOTE!

GET YOUR LAST SUBMISSIONS IN!

and btw the photos are looking excellent! I can tell this...

my mistake..i thought the first video u posted was the flip..the vado's blacks are MUCH better!!!..sry for the error

hd is much better on vimeo, much better

youtube is crap...look at videos on vimeo

which do u like best?

mino looks the best from those vids

^^^^ a video that convinced me that the flip mino hd is worth it

maybe a quick search on google could bring up some sample video

idk how the flip mino hd is, but i would research it...for some good deals check out 9to5mac.com/toys

i dont think you can make animated gifs in photoshop but i can be wrong, i can only edit 1 frame of a gif in PS4

i dont think i can compete in the competition but just wanted to show this photo:

welll i wanted to use a zoom ...nd have tht lens...nd i will be using an sb-600 on cam probably with a diffuser

well my main question is what lens? and what are the best settings?...im new to party photography

I know that this is mostly a sports photography thread, but is anyone experienced in party photography (i.e. sweet sixteens, bar/bat mitzvahs)?

so I can do it

Hello! My Ride snowboard is now a little small on my (I have been growing a lot). The board comes to about an inch under my chin. I am only gonna be going snowboarding one or two more times this...

i love all the textures

alta-this is off topic but do you find tokina's to be a good lens

I know. My 50mm 1.8 doesnt AF either but focusing manually is fine with me.

im sorry im a newb, okay haha...nd thnks 4-TEEF

i hear ya 4-TEEF, but it can be a wee bit annoying when someone keeps telling you about the lensbaby after your repeatedly telling them your interested in a fisheye

and sorry i called u an ass...

thanks GoNads...this is the help im looking for....btw this one is great:

i am taking bklyn's advice into consideration but is there something wrong with me wanting to buy a fisheye and wanting to get some advice on which are the best from the TGR forum...there are some...

thanks for the help bklyn...all i am asking on this thread is what is the best fisheye lens. I am not asking for my photography or my ability as an amateur photographer to be critiqued/criticised.
