Re: Camera Talk!
These are the few photos I took with my new camera. I just used auto focus.
    See the next pic..I always wondered how people take pics like this.. I tried so many times with my point and shoot cameras and never happened.  Thanks |

Re: Camera Talk!
Looks great, and you'll just get better as you learn the camera.

Just three point 'n shoot pictures of today's (last Sunday's) visitor. Unfortunately he was uncooperative and posed so, that I had to shoot straight into the light. Therefore the photos are not perfect, but I "had" the camera, when I "needed it  A frequent visitor ”How do I get underneath this ice for the yummies?” ”I thought you might want to take my portrait ” Well, He did not exactly smile. That is difficult to do, when you are this hungry

A Sprig of Spring...
...in the middle of winter in zone 6
It was picked from my yard, about eight or nine days before this picture was taken and brought in to bloom

Re: Camera Talk!
I kinda like this picture. If I hadn’t been able to whip my little point ‘n shoot out of my pocket at a moment’s notice, I would have missed that lady paddling by. And I would have had a bunch of bamboo set in concrete. Therefore, while a high quality camera is great for refined and art photography, for my purpose of “catching the moment”, whenever it occurs, something I have in my pocket all the time is more helpful. And my new point n' shoot, with 10x magnification and image stabilizer will open brand new possibilities.

Re: Camera Talk!
I agree, and think that's a fantastic shot Olaf.
 It's not like I walk around everyday carrying my dslr camera, three lenses, and all my gear. Most of the time I only have my little pocket digital camera with me, so I'm lucky to even get a shot at all!  Your pics are just terrific, Olaf.  : ) |

Serenity
Serenity is just lying on your back and lacily point the camera straight up and click. I have never seen these bugs, maybe they are nocturnal, but I know they are afraid of falling off, that is why they live on such stiff leaved trees and never chew right to the edge. Sometimes you may even be tempted to point the camera sideways, aah the pleasure of relaxing.

Re: Camera Talk!
Very nice indeed, Olaf. I enjoyed your shots.
Looks like you had a great time. Here was a serene pic I took about a week ago... I'm entertaining thoughts of getting another lens for my camera soon...although I'm not sure which one just yet.  : ) |

Re: Camera Talk!
I had to go back 3 times, before I caught this tree again in the same light as I had seen it previously, when I was too rushed to take this picture.

Re: Camera Talk!
Great shot, Sherry!
See? the eye of the photographer is often more important than the lens of the camera.

Re: Camera Talk!
This pretty fella does not just come to see us in the winter, when times are tough. He stuck around for a full photo
session this morning. Hold on, I cannot go in front of the camera looking like this. I simply have to freshen up a bit first. Not yet! My other side needs a bit of attention too Now I am ready for a dignified portrait. Make sure you show off my fine chest plumage after all this grooming A side shot, showing off my aristocratic beak, would aid me greatly in finding a suitable mate
