  What are you shooting with? Reply Contact Hi everyone I'm wondering what camera are you using now? It's out of curiosity because it really doesn't matter for this competition, there are other stuff more important, but as this is about technolgy I'd like to know what technology are you using to create your pictures. Hardware and software... Last year in Paris, 4 out of 6 teams in the finals, used Canon. I use Nikon, D100 and D200, the lenses I use are: for macro photography a Nikon 60mm Macro, that I used to have when I used my film N90 camera, I use mostly my Tamron 28-300 and some times a Nikon 50mm 1.8 Once I got the pictures I use Expression Media to create my catalogs. Flickr is where I publish for general public. What about you?   L.

The D80 was used in round 1 but during the finals the d80 was not used :) 2 Canon 40D(school supplied), 1 Canon 5D(school supplied) and 1 nikon d200(microsoft supplied) was used :)  My preference is Nikon, but i work on essentially whichever equipment system im supplied or given more adequtely or does the job better.

  Re: What are you shooting with? Reply Contact  If you have the money by the nikon/cannon lens.  The biggest difference is the speed at which it focuses.  If you are not worried about having the best of the best and need to save a buck I say go with sigma  glass.  I have not had a issue with sigma.  With that said, sigma glass some times will want to shoot a little soft.  I had one lens that did but they replaced it.  Once you shoot w/ a 2.8 you will not want to go back.  I love that lens.  As for photos I may post a few in a bit but I am in the middle of switching PCs and they are on the other one which is turned off right now.  Hope this helps.

Reply Contact So, if you have a crappy near-broken digital camera, and no chance of getting a new and improved one with a fancy name, you have no hope in getting an honorable mention in, let alone winning this competition?  Meh.... =\
