Looking to Buy a Canon DSLR for christmas.. Which Would be suitable for me? Amatuer Photographerr.?

Im 16 and Looking to buy a DSLR for Christmas.
Hopefully

if your into photography and know its going to be a long term thing and your budget is $1800 I would suggest going for the canon 50d. The canon 50d is more of an intermediate camera opposed to a beginner camera. Its big, a little heavy, more durable then the cheaper canons, has 15 mega pixels and a better sensor for taking better images. Its a good camera to grow as a photographer with

Streetscape photography contest

Lafango’s latest ‘Streetscape’ contest is now accepting entries. This contest is all about capturing, a street, road or a side-road that has a story to tell. The most creative entries, chosen by Lafango community, wins cash prizes worth $500.00.

You don’t have to travel afar for getting the perfect picture. Look around you, familiar streets or roads can offer great shots. The winning entry will be  combination of photography and artistry. You can use natural elements to make your everyday street picture, dramatic. While capturing a busy street, with all its hustle, bustle, is an art in itself.

Here are some ideas that you can apply to your pictures:

• If you are trying to capture your choice of street or road in dramatic light, try shooting half an hour after sun-set. At this time of the day, shadows are deeper and colors are richer.
• Side streets, look great after a storm. The wet vegetation looks dramatic in the light.
• Breaking the rule of shooting in the sun, can produce great street photography. Direct sunlight can produce dramatic shadows.
• All streets have a story to tell: Capture as much depth in your pictures as possible – your composition should have something in the foreground, middle ground and background.
• While shooting an active street, people can be suspicious about someone trying to take their picture. To avoid suspicion, smile and be polite, if someone insists be ready to delete the picture in question.
• Take a lot of pictures, to ensure that at least some of the pictures are able to display the spontaneity, you were trying to capture.

About the Author

What digital single reflex camera and lens options are best for what I want to do?

I’ve been interested in photography now for 6 or 7 years after inheriting my father’s Nikon F401x, another Nikon (I believe also from the F series family), a small Yashica 35mm slr, and a huge collection of Nikkor lenses. I also have a small Canon g7 point and shoot.

If you have Nikon F401x (aka N5005), then you probably have a good collection of Nikon AF lenses. You start a Canon system from square one. You start a Nikon system with a well-stocked camera bag.

I have a Nikon D200 and love how all my older Nikon AF and manual focus lenses work perfectly with it. The D300 is a nice advancement, that has most of the capabilities of the D3, but with a great difference in price.

Trust me, if you’re a Nikon shooter, you’ll find the Nikon D300 to be a natural fit in your hands.

I hope this is helpful.
