for some reason my night shots end up always blurry or turns out with a lot of grain
is there a way to get rid of that or do i just put my ISO to a lower bit?

 

What are you using in terms of a camera?

it seems that your camera/lens isn't fast enough.

 

nikon d3000 18-55mm lens

 

Yep, kit lenses can only go as fast as f/3.5. You need a faster lens.

i wanna live where you live man, shit seems like heaven on earth..

 

I live in the most beautiful country in the world fucking period.

That wasteland with Mt Ruapehu in the background is where they film a lot of documentaries about dinosaurs and shit because it's apparently what most of the world would have looked like millions of years ago. Rugged volcanic wasteland with no trees. Last time I was here, that snowy mountain was erupting like a mad cunt, acid rain and that. Dope.

eg.

And this shit is less than 2 hours out of the Auckland City, where I live.

Mente knows what I'm talking about!

what is this? i like it

 

It kind of looks like a bunch of little lens shutters in a gyroscope.

 

been saving, but tryin to get a new place to live. plus most lens cost a bunch
and im not really sure which i should get.

 

nice shots rock.
AK dude! that last shot of the volcano is bad ass. if it were taller id make it my background.

 

35mm f1.8

cheap and fast

 

Envy, I'll have one soon though

 

AK those shots are like Nat Geo worthy.

 

Any 2.8 zoom, they cost a lot but you can find affordable ones by sigma and tokina. Have a look at the 16-50 from tokina.

Or yeah, as upstate said, a 35 1.8 or a 50 1.8 e series from ebay, they only got for 60$ usually.

 

It's a lamp shade at the hotel I stayed at.

 

ak i like the one where the dudes using his hand as a lens hood or whatever.
dudes in nz are well dressed.

should i buy a 35mm 1.8 for my d40 and start doing digital more
or should i save and buy a voigtlander r3m
im taking a darkroom class over the summer too
