I got a camera (A Nikon D60 digital SLR, if you're interested). I'm quite pleased with it so far: it was easy to set up, and I'm pretty pleased with the quality of image that's being churned out, even though I'm only using the basic point-and-shoot functionality at the moment. I took around thirty photos this weekend, but I thought I'd share a few that I particularly like. These have been edited very briefly and basically (i.e. cropped and a tiny bit of contrast/ light adjustment on one or two) using Picasa. The photos below have had their quality reduced to take up less of my Picasa web album's space:
A frog in the pond in my aunt & uncle's back garden.
An example of dualitive nominism? It is, and it does.
Some sky.
My cousin scoring a try for his rugby team.
I really like this one. It's rain on some blades of something grass-like* surrounded by something thistle-like**. This is about as close as I can get with the lens that came with my D60. I'm hoping that a decent macro lens will fall out of the sky (and land on something soft) so that I can explore macro photography a little deeper.
* Possibly grass.
** Possibly thistles.
Great pics! I'm saving up for a decent camera at the mo (£120 so far!)so will know who to ask for advice when I come to buy one!
ReplyDeleteI nearly cladded my cake in flakes, glad I didnt now, nice for you to have some variety!!!
The one I got cost £379.99 from Argos. Depending on what you're after, my research led me to believe that Canon or Nikon are the front runners, with a big gap between them and the next best. My camera's really easy to use, although I admit I've only just scraped the surface...
ReplyDeleteAha! I'm going to take the leftovers of both cakes into school tomorrow so that I don't have to eat it all myself and put on even /more/ weight...
