Nowadays, it seems like everyone has a DSLR camera. It’s almost become a trend, as much as thick black framed glasses are associated with being “artsy.” Just an observation. But anyway, a lot of people have asked us about our photography. What we shoot with, how we shoot, tips, tricks, etc. Well, I’m going to answer all those questions right here, right now. Okay, I’m not claiming I know all the answers, but yea I know the secret to taking amazing photographs. Shhh don’t tell anyone =X
JUST USE YO’ BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Balance with your booty!
Achieve maximum angles!
You gotta get uncomfy for some shots. No shame guys. No shame.
Remember to always extend your stabilizers!
Get low, low, loww, loowww, looooowwwww!
Take a seat on the Invisible Chair!
Put your back into it…?
Oh..and if you were still wondering. I shoot with a Canon 40D and 24-70mm F/2.8L lens. Yup. Remember to follow my tips and happy shooting!

PUAHAHAHA even if i’ve seen these pictures a million times, i still laugh. I need to take a picture of my dad and his dSLR and some of his REALLLLLLY odd poses now

Ted, are you sporting a Domke bag?
February 21, 2009 at 6:49 pm
hehe thanks for the tip. interesting that everyone in those photos is asian xD
one of the first things my photo teacher told us was that we would have to get into some really uncomfortable positions to get amazing shots. I don’t have a DSLR yet….:( but I’m hoping I can get a job soon so I can buy a DSLR or film SLR myself!
February 21, 2009 at 1:59 pm
i like your eyeballs wes, ted!
lets trade! kidding.
i can’t wait to show you guys my giant paper crane photos
love the techniques. haha

The four picture is my favorite. I do something that looks like that, the sideway lunge because I’m reluctant to use the zoom feature on the camera.
February 21, 2009 at 1:04 am
Nice.
We use all of those techniques over here at Shinobi Studios.

February 20, 2009 at 6:22 pm

February 20, 2009 at 6:08 pm

I thought this was serious as well, hahh. :3
Well, I guess I’ll take this opportunity to ask anyways, when you had a Canon Rebel, what lens did you shoot with? I’m trying to decide whether I want to dish out some moneys for a 50mm lens, because the 18-55mm kit lens is….unsatisfactory, haha. :3
February 20, 2009 at 2:49 pm
ahahaha niice xDD
February 20, 2009 at 1:36 pm
ahahaha I too thought it would be a serious post..until I saw the first picture. LOL ;p
February 20, 2009 at 1:01 pm
HAHAHA nice wes, nicee XD
and ted’s too. phil doesn’t have a flickr of some sort to show his photography, so i dunno lol
I was going to ask about your camera too, but now i don’t need to anymore.. but yeah, i agree with everyone having a dslr these days, along with those thick black framed glasses. dslr cameras are really nice though.. and expensive. :/
i love your photography, btw.
February 20, 2009 at 12:42 pm

i love photography, but i think i suck
in taking pictures *sniff sniff* maybe i’ll be better

February 20, 2009 at 11:49 am

February 20, 2009 at 10:10 am
Jordyce don’t worry your not the only one who doesn’t have one. Thanks wes this information was helpful. Although I don’t have an SLR, I’ll trying using those tips with the fujifilm finepix z20 that i have. I doubt it’ll come out the same. But its worth a try. Hahaha Phil I’d love to see your photos, but ur facebook, and myspace are…. private…. -_-’
February 20, 2009 at 9:43 am

February 20, 2009 at 9:25 am

February 20, 2009 at 3:51 am
This blog made me sad, I’m interested in photography and can’t even afford any digital camera… and apparently everyone else has a DSLR camera… awwww…
February 20, 2009 at 3:21 am
I’ve tried all those poses…& still taking mediocre photos. Maybe I need more back in “it”? and to think I almost thought this was gonna be a serious post.
February 20, 2009 at 2:38 am
hahahaha nice post…I will take all of these tips into consideration
