so where did u take this one???
i like photography as well...i was thinking of getting a nikon dslr....
which camera would you suggest a hobbyist for some good pictures...

Depends on what you can/want to spend.
Even inexpensive cameras today will give good results...focus on technique and composition, less on your equipment.

thanks for the advice sleepingwolf, i ll keep that in mind...i do have a normal cybershot with 7 megapixel, it also gives some really good results but i did want to want to buy a new one.

I like the photo above. What camera did you use to take this photo?
Excellent effect.

Nice portrait of a Duck

hahah show off :P

I like the look of the new Opera beta poi.

SleepingWolf, I notice you've used ISO 400, is that your normal setting, or do you experiment with slower speeds? I wonder how this picture would have turned out with ISO 100.

In general, as you know, the slower the film (the lower the ISO) the better from a resolution perspective...but when you use a telephoto you want to ensure you have enough speed to avoid blur.

From the exif data, I shot at 1/300 second, so yes, I probably could have shot at ISO 200 with a larger aperture (f 5.6).

Having said, good quality DSLRs today are still sharp at high ISOs.


poi: very cool that you can do that from Opera. I still have trouble with the continuous readings....in the old days it would have been a speed of 1/250 and an aperture of f8
