I know this isn't exactly a camera, but work just gave me a Canon XL1 for a certain project. 3-CCD video cameras fucking rule.
 
How the hell do you guys get such clarity/lighting in your shots? I've tried everything I could think of with no luck. Is this all done in post processing?

It's a combination of factors: the camera / lens you use, the lighting available to you, post processing, the mode you save your images in, etc etc etc....

I've actually been wanting to use my still camera to make a stop-motion type of project with it. Just haven't come up with a good concept yet.

That, umm, somehow related to what you said, kind of.

80% of photography is knowing your lighting, 10% is knowing how to use your camera and gear, and the other 10% is all the art stuff (that isn't in the lighting category.

I've tried manipulating all the settings on a Canon 10D with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM in both overcast and bright lighting. My shots never look that good.

Here's my last attempt at photography

You guys put me to shame and I wish I could learn how to do it. I took all the shots except the fireworks and the ones I'm in.

That sounds really cool. Just don't do it cheesy like they did in the 70's :fly: .
