    Driving Photos

    Well, i don't suggest this for people who aren't multi-taskers...

    however, post some of your photos that you've taken WHILE DRIVING (or in moving car)...

    BTW, i was inspired to do this thread a loooong time ago when the photo forum was still in the Arena.

    These are on my way home from work.

    maybe if you weren't so worried about an LCD on your box, you might be able to afford one

    using a dSLR for these kind of shots is much trickier than using a digicam. you have to look through the viewfinder with a dSLR!

    BAH! I am just researching for small projects. A Canon XT or 20D is top priority right now.

    And that thread is about as far from lcd's as possible

    Thanks for the comments folks!

    Without wanting to hi-jack the thread, what's the different between the Rebel and 20D, why do you regret being tight Nords?

    click HERE for a side by side comparison of the 20D and 300D. first of all, as a 300D owner, i can easily tell the difference between EVP's images and mine - talent aside. it has a better sensor (i think) and more megapixels. it's set up like a true pro camera from canon - controller and display in a different location. it's also metal, not plastic like the 300D - and it's all black (that's just a preference). more FPS is a good thing as well. i just should have gone with it, as it's not much more money.

    Hmmm, I might hold out for a 20D then, it is a big difference over here! 1,173 USD for a 350D and 1,985 USD for a 20D!

    Just a few of the differences that sold me on the 20D

    20D - 5 fps up to 23 images; Max Shutter speed 1/8000; ISO 3200

    XT - 2.8 fps up tp 14 images; Max Shutter speed 1/4000; ISO 1600


    I can grab my camera with the power off and start firing away immidiately, it has a .2 second startup time (yes, that's two tenth's of a second). The XT should be similar though.

    took this on tuesday night on the way home from work.

    M5 was shut due to a massive accident so everyone had to go the scenic route home.
    took me 3 hours to do a 30 minute journey - watched the sunset here for a good 45 mins or so.
