Well, I took phot0graphy in H.S (1998) and loved it. HAd an old Pentax SLR with a Quantry Lens. 2 years ago my wife bought me a Cannon Rebel XT with a 35-80mm Cannon lens off e-bay. I loved/love it, but like everyon our kodak 4mp digital point and shoot was so much easier to take along when on trips and such. While getting married in Jamaica (see website for photos under wedding) I started getting interested again in photography. Our photographer came with us, and took some good shots (they are the raws on the website...she gave me a dvd with all the raw/non-retouched photos). She of course had a nice 10mp DSLR.
TO THE POINT, since I want to get back into photography I figrued I would come in seak of advice. You know the equipement I have, and obviously it's not digital. Is taking my film to get developed and scanned going to offer good results and quality to pass for a "good" photo, or will I be facing images that were obviously scanned when i want to make prints? I want to use photoshop and stuff but i don't have the $$ to get a dslr yet (wife says I have too many hobbies)
NEXT. I have an Epson Stylus CX6600 All in one. will scanning actual photos yeild good results, or will i be faced with real grainy reprints? as far as dpi or max scan res i'm not positive before someone asks.....anyone know what a cx6600 ha for dpi and scan res?
LAST I have the Cannon SLR with the 35-80mm lens, I would like something I can pull things closer wth, the cannon lenses are just too pricey for me right now. However, I could get a Quantry 70-300mm lens for about $160(us). will I loose allot of quality with an offbrand lens such as that? f/4.0-5.6 here is the link http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/251664561.htm?bct=t13031003%3Bcidigital-cameras-and-accessories%3Bcilenses-for-digital-cameras%3Bcislr-lens%3Bc914962
I planned on starting this friday with some film i had and taking a could of pictures ... getting the developed and going from there. I look forward to attempting some of the contests yall have and see if people can give me some constructive criticism. Anyone who feels like giving me some beginner pointers on any of these issues pleas respond.....if you have some key helpfull info and want to contact me you can always email as well. Thank you
