Photography Talk

Thanks for comments all. Makes it worthwhile getting up early and braving Minus (-10C) for a few pictures.

Some great feedback from you folks along with some great links, I have noticed the lens has an image stabiliser facility. The added bonus with this camera is that I have a 70-210 lens from an old 135 which is compatible.

Good afternoon Maksim,Ziggy,Robert and Penny many thanks for all your lovely comments they really are appreciated.

There are lots of "modes" on that camera for various scenes / compositions, I think it tries to select the most appropriate one (goodness knows how! so I suspect that it doesn't get it right 100% of the time). Might be worth trying a shot of the Mauve flower with each the scene-settings to see...

Have tried a few times without success to capture meteors, this time my young brother-in-law has borrowed my DSLR for college :( Oh well, next is the Eta Aquarids, at the beginning of May with an expected ZHR between 20~40 meteors, hopefully have my camera back in time...G

OK.. That is because you are using an attachment.. OK, I don't like it myself.. Use an image host Sheal, I use Photbucket & ImageShack myself.. :WINK1:

Beautiful!!

Good afternoon Golfer here is a link that might help you.

I like both...equally! The colour image is familiar, we can all identify with it as it's how we are used to seeing it, the black and white adds drama therefore holds our attention. But do you sometimes find that converting to B&W does not work or have the effect you where after? I came...
