Can we talk about photography?
Comments (24)Solstice, were they taken with film or digital? They are beautiful. Coffeemom, you made me laugh! I just finished my last roll of Advantix film and I swore that was the end of that camera, even though I loved it. It's time to get a digital, but I want at least 6 mp and 10x optical zoom for a good price. Does anyone know if you really need 6 or more mps in a digital camera? My first camera was a Canon AE1 program, which I still use. I bought it in 1983 and the first pick I took with it was my son taking his first step. I love that camera. I took a quick course at the local vo-tech school on photography, but I could never figure out the f stops and aperture stuff, so I always left it on auto mode and I have albums full of great pics. I got the Advantix one Christmas since I was always complaining about lugging the Canon around. It took great pics and I loved the Advantix film. You could take the pics in 4x6, 4x7 or panoramic. I still don't know if I want a digital SLR or not. I hate to spend a lot of money on something, just to find out that it's in a year or two. Julie...See MorePics taken with early birthday present.
Comments (12)Thank you all once again for kind thoughts and encouragement. saintpfla ~ Dabbling in photography is fun that is for sure. I've taken a few night shots too with old camera and look forward to trying it with this one. The macro with this camera is 150 cm (W) (0.4 in.Γ1.6 ft. (W)). I was right down on the flowers. There is a lot to read in these manuals, I just plod along and practice. It's a learning experience and a fun one at that. treefrog ~ I've also tried to capture the color of the blue sage with old camera and never could. There are a couple of roses I had the same trouble with, so I hope they come out truer with this new camera as the blue sage did. Evelyn ~ You are so right about picture taking being addicting, almost as addicting as some flowers are. : -) Ambersky ~ I looked up what you thought the purple unknown might be and I'm not sure. Someone else told me something else and that didn't quite look right either. I'll try to get out tomorrow to take a picture of leaves and flowers so you all can see the whole thing. You could be right though. Nancy ~ It is a long time isn't it? I think of you everytime I'm around the two roses you gave me, Smith's Parrish, and I think the name of the other one is Old Blush, which is in the main garden and doing terrific. Thank you again for giving them to me. It was nice meeting you also and having a little visit at 2Jay's. I've worked at my job yesterday and again today, so haven't been out to take more pictures. I'm off tomorrow so maybe I can get out to shoot some more then. Thanks again for encouraging me to get out and take more pictures. I always enjoy seeing everyone's beautiful gardens and flowers. I get inspired to get out and work in my tropical/cottage gardens. FlowerLady...See Morephotography skills in kids!
Comments (4)Konrad's suggestion will help insure decent exposures, but I'm not sure any skill is involved. :-) Here are a few things you can tell them: 1. Move in closer. You don't want to get so close that the flash washes out the faces, so if the camera has a zoom feature, use it. Try to avoid long shots where the subject is lost in the middle of everything else. 2. Watch your backgrounds. This is hard to do at a party, where the background is likely to be filled with other people. But they can make sure a post (or plant) isn't sticking out of someone's head, for example. 3. If the party is during the day, be careful shooting near windows. If the subject is standing in front of a window, the camera will probably read the window light and badly underexpose the subject. You can try focusing on the subject's knees (assuming the knees are below the window), and, continuing to hold the shutter down halfway, bring the camera up to where you want it and then take the picture. 4. Stand still. Kids tend to move around a lot. This is fine as long as they're not trying to take a picture....See MoreHelp Name A Photography Co........
Comments (13)"Picture This" What a fun business to go into! Tell her to think about doing sports/activity photos. That is HUGE business around here. Every sport my kid is in - they have a picture taken. Soccer-Volleyball-Basketball-Swim Team-Dance-Track-Baseball-Softball-Football -- eh.. You get the picture? LOL! I don't buy one every time - but I do get quite a few. Usually it is an individual picture and a team picture for around $13.00 Wish I had the type of camera to get into this. I love my camera, but I don't want to put the $$$ into the cameras, lights, equipment, etc. it takes for a pro. Going into the business would be a great way to pay for it though! I have added a link to one of my favorite photographers - oh she does great work! She is very creative and very nice! Might give your DD some idea on prices, etc. too. Here is a link that might be useful: Photographer...See Morebpath
