i want a new camera. this one is ok but i want to do more close-up detailed shots and i'm having a hard time getting it perfect. sometimes they come out great other times not. i'm using a tripod and one pic will focus then i will take a second pic of the exact same thing without changing anything and it comes out blurry. i only spent a little over $200 on this camera. i think i need to step up my game.



it's cold this morning.......

hey fdd...HNY to ya....I like those shots....they give the "feeling" of the morning....well done....the focal points within the less expensive cameras are likely automatixc and not adjustable. whatever slight change there may have been in the two "identical" pics....was enough to make the camera "think" it was looking at sumthin else....but anyway....your pics this morning are GR8!

To be perfectly honest with you, I have never opened it, my old roomate left it in our smoking lounge a long time ago, and there it sits on our coffee table with a few photography books and a Maxim from 2004.

This is my newest piece, I called it Katamari after the video game character (if you don't know you should find out its amazing) because it is little but it will roll off with you if your not careful. Its also up on my DA account.

Fdd, for close-ups try puting your camera on the "macro" setting. I have three digital cameras two point and shoot style and one big daddy SLR that I can change lenses on. The two point and shoots are a fuji FinePix and a Cannon Elf. On them there is a little icon that looks like a flower from super mario bros (the one that gives you the fireball power), it's on the little circle selector on the back. On other camera's it may be in a menu somewhere, but usually it's with the portrait, outdoor/indoor, landscape settings. Once your in "macro" setting the camera will adjust it's lenses to foucs on objects less than 3 feet away. I also suggest turning off the automatic flash since the falsh is built to be used at 6+ feet distance it can wash out a close-up. My fuji will actually focus on stuff 2-3 inches away while the cannon seems to have a minimum distance of 4-5 inches. The pics in my gallery were taken with my SLR and a zoom lens from 6 feet away but you'll get a similar effect with the macro setting on the point and shooters. Let me know if you got any q's and I'll try and help you out.
