treatment Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 delivered today, my new toy: coz it's darn good and darn cheap. plus the G has been OOS since, like, forever... Try it on low-light shots. Congrats! Show us what it can do! thanks, guys. haven't had much time with it, yet, but here's a couple of test-quickies while first mating it with a borrowed d90: yeah, i know they both suck. both pics are really not-so-good-quickies coz aside from the suddenly drizzly weather today, the real reason I haven't had that much playtime with the cheapy-50mm was due entirely to the thingy at the left of this pic that came with the borrowed d90: which produced this test-quickie earlier: so, got a couple of lens and stuff to play with for this long weekend. hopefully i find some interesting stuff and/or subjects for 'em...

treatment Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 well, hey! how about some more moonshots. this time, with NO tripod-help! jpgs just cropped only. too lazy to bother with the NEFs. exifs retained from original shots. Tammy's VC was rather nice to my shaky arms this time... Quote
Vegas Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Vegas take a picture of Alodia for me! LOL. LOL, sure thing if i see her. thanks, guys. haven't had much time with it, yet, but here's a couple of test-quickies while first mating it with a borrowed d90: yeah, i know they both suck. both pics are really not-so-good-quickies coz aside from the suddenly drizzly weather today, the real reason I haven't had that much playtime with the cheapy-50mm was due entirely to the thingy at the left of this pic that came with the borrowed d90: which produced this test-quickie earlier: so, got a couple of lens and stuff to play with for this long weekend. hopefully i find some interesting stuff and/or subjects for 'em...

azrael Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Is canon really better? Versus whom? Nikon? Sony? Panasonic? Casio? Olympus? Pentax? Tamron? etc? And in what category...point & shoot, DSLRs, lenses? Quote
Kicker773 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 To Nikon dslr Ooh any suggestions for a point and shoot camera. Getting one for the wife Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Oh lordy what a can of worms... I think the best piece of advice I could offer is decide what your price range is, find out what models fit your budget, then go to a physical store that will let you try them out and mess with each of them. Especially when your first starting out, ergonomics and UI that work for you are way more important than tech specs. You can have the highest resolution, fastest focusing camera in the world with a million bells and whistles, but if it's not comfortable to use you're not going to have fun with it and you're not going to want to take photos with it.

David Hingtgen Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Of all the pics I took of it, I think this one came out the best, considering clarity and composition. Quote
azrael Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 To Nikon dslr I'm not going to open that can-of-worms...EVER. To do so will invite a flame war which would scare Hell. If you ask any serious shooters, the split between the Canon and Nikon is 50/50. Remember, which ever choice you choose, you will be marrying that family's accessories. anime52k8's advice is perfectly fine. Go to the store and try it out. Quote
Vegas Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Of all the pics I took of it, I think this one came out the best, considering clarity and composition. Thats pretty cool!, Is that the real Eiffel tower? Versus whom? Nikon? Sony? Panasonic? Casio? Olympus? Pentax? Tamron? etc? And in what category...point & shoot, DSLRs, lenses? Ofcourse Samsung rules all of them lol. #Ktnxbye Edited June 1, 2012 by Vegas Quote

treatment Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 yo! venus transit this afternoon! get yer cameras and solar filters ready. starts around 3pm PST... Quote
Vegas Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 Cool pictures being posted here and thanks for all the compliments! Another one from me, This was back in June 2011. Got to the hotel resort very early that morning. So while i was waiting for our room, i started drinking to kick off my vacation Bohol Beach Club by Eddie 11uisma, on Flickr Quote
electric indigo Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Perfect sky + sun last weekend; some unprocessed shots from my compact. Quote
VF-19 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) And got the Venus Transit. Plus sunspots. Owing that I didn't have a solar filter, and risking damage to my camera, I used two polarizers, 1:8000 shutter speed, and F40 on the lens. Despite it coming out blue, I think it looks pretty good. Edit: Pulled all of the colour out of the photo to make it look less alien. Edited June 5, 2012 by VF-19 Quote
treatment Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) here's a jpg of mine a few minutes ago... @ 1546-PST (cropped): edit: updated. Edited June 6, 2012 by treatment Quote
