Disc Golf Photography

[Tim]

Hey speaking of photography, I'm seeing that my handy NW disc golf calendar is coming close to it's end. Any plans to do another this year?

The D80 doesn't shoot video but it has been a very nice camera. It was replaced by the D90 (w/video) which has recently been replaced by the D7000. A bunch of the video shot by the pdga at the Beaver State Fling this year was done with a high end digital SLR.

I haven't done any film photography for years and therefore have a bunch of darkroom equipment available to anyone that may be interested (Mikk?). Give me shout if you're looking for an enlarger and other supplies.

I stand corrected... I could of sworn that the d80 did video, probably where i got confused as the bodies are similar... Still a great camera

I shot 271 pix from hole 14 thru 18, so I guess digital is better for that. However true film gives the best photos!! Its just alot harder to get the action shots.

I recommend checking out the Kodak tech pubs (especially if you are using Kodak film). Lots of good info there. Pub AJ-3 is great general how to guide.

If Andrew does it again, he'll be taking submissions. Last time around, folks sent in a bunch of pictures and he picked his faves for the calendar. Edge's Seatac photo makes me miss October.

The Rooster Rock picture is pretty good but yeah I agree with you. Love that pic, hate that course.

[Tim]

Wait...Rooster or Seatac?

[sillybizz]

Seatac: Awesome
RR West: OK
RR East: Hate it

[cefire]

West side is where its at, yo! Yeah, I've got a few pics for a calendar but I'll need a lot of help

I'm still waiting for a green light on a potential fund-raising project for this year but hopefully will know more soon!

My Wife (god bless her for putting up with my incessant ravings) is letting me get a new camera. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that she would let me get the D7000. Not only that but she is also letting me get the SB-900 speedlight, which is awesome because I can now annoy the whole family however go with the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR lens instead, but it might “accidently” slip in to the shopping cart. Now only if the federal govt’ would hurry up and process my return so I can purchase this bad boy and start stimulating the economy.

Lucky!! Me and the Ms. wana D7000 soooo bad, but income is on the low side right now. I have been trying to sell off my 2004 tour de'france Giant team bike. That would get me the camera and the 70x300vr lens. Right now I'm using a D70 with a 70x300 macro non-vr lens with realy good results. I also picked up a creative HD+ video recorder on the cheap. It works realy well but doesnt have stabilization, so if you move too fast or are a shakey person its a no-go.

BTW - Since this thread is back, the disc golf calendar mentioned above is in print and raising cash to keep SeaTac baskets in the ground!

Currently it’s shoot film or shoot with a 4 year old digital point and shoot that is not even fast enough to capture most action shots. I won’t be shooting film for much longer. Nikon is the only way to go if you lens compatibility from generation to generation. There are only a few lenses they have made in the past that won’t fit on today’s cameras. Try that with Cannon or other brands (not that they are bad brands mind you) and you will only get heartbreak.
