Okay guys I've got a bunch of photos to link from flickr. Tell me how to do this. Please, please tell me it's easy, like one click easy.

Back-story: I got a pro-sumer tripod and a 1:18 scale GTI for Christmas :happyanim:

SO much cool stuff to be done with a full size tripod and a scale model. So many angles and frames to explore when you're so flexible...

Get Flickr account (if you don't have one; whether the free one if you are starting, or the pro like I have), upload photos to said account, look at said photos in photo stream, click on said photo, click on view all sizes on top right, choose Medium 800 to fit most forums/screens/apps for a good resolution..... profit? ;)

So I just got my new camera for my birthday yesterday, a nikon d5100!! So happy lol. Planning learning it then posting some stuff. Where do people recommend uploading to for keeping image quality and having large amount of space to upload to? Also would you think it worth while to take a photography class at the University for help or just go shoot things?

Thanks!

Most of us here use a Flickr Pro account if you notice. It is a yearly service, but unlimited uploads of any file size, categorization capability, and able to link/see photos from anywhere.

Most University courses will teach you the basics of photography (not necessarily your camera), but I always recommend knowing the basics because it will help you with what ever camera you are using (including point and shoots).

Enjoy the Nikon D5100! That is the camera I have been using until I just got the D600. Great camera and enjoy man! :thumbsup:

Camera Tripod

So this weekend I got a free tripod, for free, from the GF's uncle. It's a Velbon VGB-3CC. The reason I got it for free was because the crank which raises/lowers the centre column elevator is broken. The uncles says someone over tightened it and broke the gear inside of it. Was wondering if anyone knows where to get parts or if it is possible to fix.

Thanks for all your help!

Thank you for the compliment! Im new to photography but it's something I've always wanted to get into. I just have my starter T2i with basic lenses. I would like to get a 10-22mm but I just bought a house, a new kitchen and an R! So maybe later... :thumbsup:

So Bri - tips on photographing people? I am pretty good at just about everything else but I can never get things to turn out the way I want with people. Skin tone always screws with me.

(which reminds me i still have to edit those)

Well first and foremost, when you're shooting portraitures the most important thing is to have the focus set on the eyes. As long as the eyes are nicely defined, I think its a solid step onto getting a nice portrait. One of the reasons im not that big into portraits or I guess I should say studio style portraits like the one i posted is just because its very expensive. We used a profoto strobe for this one, a beauty dish and a light meter. The background here is pure white but the F stop is really closed F16 iirc, so thats whats giving those nice, soft shadows.


Pat - 2nd shot, its underexposed, the BnW one is dope though.
