The LouLou v Yanbbrox photo thread

Zen, if you want it all I say wait. I've no idea of your photography experience but I was getting so used to the manual settings on my fuji I was just starting to slowly find out it's limitations and it was starting to irritate me, hence why I got the new one. The jump between the two is just overwhelming at times but I wanted something that would take an age to learn how to use properly and would also not need upgrading hence why I only got the one lens(for now;)).

I offer the same advise to you, get a really good camera and a really good lens and learn how to get the max out of them before getting more lenses etc. Look at Loulou for example, already pretty handy when it comes to taking pictures and the new camera took them to the next level but still he's had it for nearly year(I think) and is still learning and experimenting. If you went out and bought everything for it you'd spend more time changing things around than actually taking picture, just MO.
I agree with Yanbbrox: better start slowly... these things cost a max! It's better for you to start learning how to fully use the camera you currently have and then, when you start feeling that it can no longer do what you want it to do, upgrade to a DSLR and a nice walk-around lens... then you start learning how to use your new gear... which, like Yanbbrox mentioned, would take quite a while... I have mine for nearly a year now and I'm still so far from mastering it... so many settings to be used alone and/or in combination... so many...

1.5 second exposure of an airstone:

I'm quite please with that one, dark and moody, needed more light maybe I higher ISO but taken hand held I think I got it about 60% right
Two things I don't like in that picture:

  1. The airline on the left.
  2. That dark line on the bottom.
Otherwise it's a nice abstract-like picture :)

Probably best if the view finder is too much that you don't press the menu button;) Or for that matter pick up the manual expecting it to be in 30 different languages and find out it's all 278 pages of English!:WHOA:
The manual is indeed scary at times... very much rocket science... but... when there's passion involved... ;)

That was raw and I also don't like the airline either, I'll shop it out later;)
 
Beautiful severums... they have such a nice pattern with the intense color

Thank you Liz! :)
 
Our L190 finally made an appearance so I took a shot, actually I took several on continuous, yet another setting I've found out how to use:

Of the fish, tank or tank mates? If you were to look at that tank you'd see nothing, they all hide out..


Thanks Liz
