Als you need is about 1000 for a decent setup. My friend bought the Rebel original just after the XT came out, for 600. For christmas he got the 70-300 image stabilizing lens....that thing is orgasmic.

Nikki · 02-12-2006, 06:06 PM

Yeah I don't really have $1000 or I'd jump on it. Someday.

Haha, my roommate's gf came over and said the moon is out tonight and I should take a picture. I was actually going to do it until I remembered my car is covered with snow. What a kowinkidink....

LEDZEP · 02-13-2006, 07:03 AM

poldim - you should have. A nice time exposure of moonlit snow would be very nice!

poldim · 02-13-2006, 09:25 AM

Its coooooooooooold. This morning I had to bust out the the ski jacket. But atleast I had no problems cleaning off the car.

Nikki · 02-13-2006, 09:47 AM

Lol It was 52 when I went out to take pictures at around 7pm and I was wearing a winter jacket with fur (fake of course) and boots. I only stayed out for like 10 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore. hahaha.
We're dying down here, my poor little Yorkie was shivering so much last night we wrapped him in this gigantic blanket and when I woke up this morning he was shivering inside of it lol, poor thing.

poldim · 02-13-2006, 10:11 AM

Haha, 52 and that little guy is shivering? Barbie gets hauled around all over russia, and its been like -30*C~~about 0*F.

The other benefit is your car is clean.....mine probably hates me.

LEDZEP · 02-13-2006, 11:28 AM

It was 17 degrees during my morning commute.

poldim · 02-13-2006, 10:24 PM

22 this morning over here...

Dude, Bella belongs in the 'beautiful picture" thread. None of these cars are nearly as good looking as she is.

Thanks-lol remember I told you I was going out to take pictures but it was freezing? I only got a couple shots, but they were nice. The moon was really pretty. Here is a larger one to show the moon better.

And the close up of the avatar too. Don't mind my kinda dirty wheels.

Hula-Hula · 02-15-2006, 02:20 AM

pffffffff... Americans...

it's like minus 9 celcius all the time here now and has been for 2 months! Not to think about my reletives in the north they have the same spectacular weather as in Russia 0 fahrenhiet or whatever you said! 30 minus that is! In siberia it's even colder! Those guys are scary, never takes a shower so they can have an enormous amount of FAT as a layer on the skin!

I'm pretty sure my partents shower. At least they did when I was there. But I think my mom washes the dog more than herself, and they share a bed, and a table...

Then again, I'd probably do it with my car if it was small enough.

Nikki · 02-15-2006, 09:59 AM

I think he was talking about Siberians

poldim · 02-15-2006, 11:16 AM

I knew he was, never hurts to stretch the translation...

What did you do in PS before posting those shots?

LEDZEP · 02-15-2006, 04:10 PM

Nikki - thanks for the larger photo! Is that available light, or did you pop it with some fill? From the look of the moon, I'm guessing it was a slow exposure. I love when the moon is above thin clouds like that. The angle of your shot is captivating. See, that's the EYE - you either have it or you don't. You have it. When I get home tonight I'll have to swipe a copy of that photo!

I don't remember what fill is.. but I'm guessing then I didn't use it..sorry lol. I believe it was a 2" shutter. Thanks for the encouragement. I took those shots a few minutes after I talked to you.
