More camera shots
Tuesday, April 4th 2006
Again I'm being impressed by the versatility of this new camera. We were up for a walk at the loch and ecology centre that's a few minutes up the road and snapped this shot of a bud on one of the trees
A couple of days later, last night in fact, and with the same camera and lens was able to get this decent hand held shot of the moon. It was a nice clear night but it was a bit hit and miss as to what settings to have the camera on but managed to get 2 clear shots of which this was the best. Need to get a tripod though if I'm going to get anything better.
Just need to remember when using the movie mode NOT to have the camera on it's side! Idiot!

Rocking good new camera
Thursday, March 16th 2006
I've been playing late at night with my new camera. Discarded many many shots as I play with the features. I haven't taken too much care over composition and so on, just really taking test shots to see what's possible. Despite this I've already taken some pretty cool shots.
Last night I discovered the features that allow you to change colours in the camera before you've actually taken the shot. One of these settings allows you to choose a colour in the scene and then when you take the shot every other colour apart from that one is in black and white. That leads to shots like the one below. I should have taken more care over what's in the background but it still looks pretty cool.
The other thing I was trying the other night was taking shots of water drops. Again I wasn't really taking enough care over this. No tripod and my focusing could have been better executed. Holding the camera in one hand and a dripping water bottle in the other (in the dark) is kind of tricky. Still out of about 60 shots I got 2 that are not bad and at least indicate what could be achieved with a tripod and a bit more care.
