Rupert got a new toy today.

[DarkTrojan]

\o/ Rupert!

[Bob]

What are the origins of that name?

[Microman]

i think its from that old cartoon rupert, its about a badger who has adventurs with other animals, though they all look like humans, I.E they all walk upright and have hands and feet

[Loveli]

Since I couldn't have an elephant named Rupert, I gave the name to my hedgehog.

It's a good name.

Pictures taken with new digital camera. They're not really good, but I can't decide which one is the best.

First one (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/day.mob/lights1.JPG)
Second picture (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/day.mob/lights2.JPG)
Last picture (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/day.mob/lights3.JPG)

They're pretty big as well, about 180kb each. Just a warning to the 56kers that don't want to wait.

really nice, I love pics of things like that.

could you actually get over the bridge?

[Cainam]

No way from the end I was on. I doubt anyone could jump that far. You could probably climb up on the far end, but I wouldn't trust it, anyway.

[Dibbie]

Mmmmmm, twilight...

This is a picture of the same tree I posted earlier.. 1 week later.

a nice shiny gold http://messenger.msn.co.uk/Resource/emoticons/star.gif for the 1st person to guess what these are without clicking on properties. clue - some may consider it kinky. ;)

:p

[PeePers]

it looks like something white and mendable..
wax perhaps?
but what made of wax?
..musn't click properties...

[squealpiggy]

Is it breastical pads for bra innards? But all squished up?

[katox]

haha padded bras are god's evil creation to confuse men (and some women). so no not that.


peepers you are kinda correct in guessing what it is made out of...just think a little bit harder.

clue - it's part of my body. :p

[PeePers]

wow i didnt think dirty thoughts :)

ermm
i would say ears..
EDIT: but then you would have real odd elephatic ears
but you are a fair lady
so none of that

[katox]

muh! i give up with yas. :p

today in manicure class (cos i'm sooo beauty oh yeah :rolleyes: ) we did deluxe manicures which basically entails brushing melted candle wax (that's the kinky bit) onto your hands. those my sweet are the wax casts of my fingers and thumbs(bit mangled now mind) after it had been removed. brought em home cos i thought they looked rather cool :) (but they all think i'm a freak now, wahah).

so there you have it. ~yawn~


~eats gold shiny http://messenger.msn.co.uk/Resource/emoticons/star.gif~ yum!

[Fick]

Mighty nice photos there Manny, I think I've found myself a new desktop.

You really are pretty fly for a white guy! [/awful pun]

[Cainam]

This gun dates from somewhere between 1900 - 1910 or so. The fort was set up to protect against enemy ships, but it never did fire for anything but training.

[manny]

thats a big gun, i was expecting something pistol sized :)

and in for the mix, one of me after failing to get to sleep at 5am

[Cainam]

Here's one for you. I took this from the stern of a yacht. The boat, and all the others in the area ( it was a parade ) had lots of light strings tied on the rails and all over them. I don't know why the pictures came out like this. You can tell I didn't move the camera, as the flag on the right is nice and clear. I was using a Nikon CoolPix 880, with a 2X lens, and most settings on auto. The only thing I did to this pic was convert to .jpg from .tif, and shrink the size.

[M*O*S*H]

Afraid to say it but ..... you did move the camera .... the falsh froze the flag, as it needed light to be seen, so after the initial flash the flag would not have produced a trail. if you look at the lights on the boat ahead you can see the trail left when the camera moved, which matches the linear flow of of the other trails.

Still a pretty, and trippy, pretty trippy image :)

I don't think I moveed the camera, but I could be wrong. I took a bunch of pictures that night, and they all had this same weird look. Here's one that shows the light streaks going in every direction. I don't think that moving the camera would do this. The light goes in several directions, and the camera was set up for a 200 speed exposure. Again, all I did was convert the format and resize, no alteration to the immage.

[Pie Priestess]

okay, i didn't take them today (thereby violating thread rules) but I just found them after forgeting about them...

Here's an interesting one. The light in my front room, viewed from the floor.

[Seraph]

Here is a picture i took a couple minutes ago!
Black and white just to be different i guess :p

This is my dog, Bailey.

First of all.. no i didnt name her after the drink.

And yes, i have been told that 'Bailey' is a male name in the UK, but i didnt know that until after i named her, haha. :D

That is her paw on the left by the way, just REALLY up close. She was having a snooze on it :)

[M*O*S*H]

Nice Cainam!



..... one day i might actually post a pic ...... or even start posting properly ....... who knows?

[Seraph]

Whether those lines from the string lights were on purpose or not, Cainam, its a very neat shot!! ;)

[Jeff The Jiff]

loving your pics Cainam.
most of mine are too big and edited to the point of unrecognisability. i didnt edit this one tooo much...

[Fruiterian]

I was bored. I'll just post one for now since I don't feel like uploading and this only allows one at a time uploads. -_-

erm... im not sure how i took this. cool anyway.

[katox]

manny...that's ace! :D

here's a scan(sorry, but i thought it would look crap if i photo-ed it) of something i did today cos i was rather bored -

http://members.lycos.co.uk/kissingkats/doodletoday.jpg

[Cainam]

Sold my old camera this morning, so I could afford to order a new one. Just did a few minutes ago. I'm getting the Nikon CoolPix 5700, plus a bunch of extras - lenses, hard case, etc. I hope it's worth the $2000 (U.S.) !!! Pictures will follow as soon as I get it.:cool:

[manny]

that sounds like a nice bit of kit you jammy bast ;)

ive just got the telephoto extension for my a70, trying to get to grips with it. i'll post some results later.

[Loveli]

The statue on the state capital building in Minnesota. Froze my fingers taking pictures of the building.

[katox]

another doodle i did yesterday -

Halloween Party.

Frankenstein was such a character. He looked great, and played the part so well.

A single cheery moment in my currently sad life...

[katox]

http://members.lycos.co.uk/kissingkats/doodled26-10-03.jpg

& one more i did this afternoon. can't do anymore now cos i have no card cut to size. boo. :(

[^Rennaps]

I don't know what this is, but it was saved on my camera for some reason.

[Vladimir]

i took a picture of an excavator in Venice:cool:

[Jeff The Jiff]

hrmph

[M*O*S*H]

Cain .... for that money .... Canon Eos 300D with 15-55mm lens ..... but that's only my opinion .......


Have a mic from our recording studio

[manny]

^^what that man said, 300Ds are lovely things.

[EasyTiger]

I took am tempted by the Canon 300D. The Minolta Dimage A1 however, has just dropped in price to £663. Compared to the Canon £830, the Minolta is more in my price range. It's a very tough decision.

[Vladimir]

i took an amazing pic of my little brother:D

[Cainam]

Already ordered the Nikon 5700. The reason it was so much ($2000, U.S.) was that it has a very complete acessory kit. Pelican 1500 hard case, 1.5X telephoto, 0.8X wide angle, 1X, 2X, 4X macro and adapter, UV filter, polarizer, 512 meg Lexar memory, external flash, tripod, leather soft case, etc. More stuff I can't remember. Everything is high quality, like Nikon lenses, and with the whole thing together I think it is a good deal. I've tried to take pics with cheap lenses, and all you get is garbage. What I really want is the new Nikon D2H - SWEET! It has a wireless network adapter, so the camera can download pics to your computer while you are shooting. Just bring a laptop with you and you never even have to swap out memory cards.

[manny]

thats the best thing i ever saw!

seriously tho, I was wondering when you could get a camera that could do that.

look forward to seeing your results with it.

That's a very beautiful photo :)

[manny]

i used a minitripod but it probably wasnt that secure.

Also you have to use weird manual focus settings with this telephoto lens i have, so theyre a bit blurry :(. I had it set to infinity and they were out of focus. Also I dropped it earlier in the day so I hope it isnt broken :(

[Jeff The Jiff]

.

[Cainam]

I put a few pics up on my new homepage. I thought someone might like to see them, but I didn't post them here because they were taken some time ago.Cainam's pics (http://home.earthlink.net/~cainam/)

Let me know what you think.

[EasyTiger]

*has a look*

I too have been uploading stuff onto shutterpoint here (http://easytiger.shutterpoint.com)

[Pie Priestess]

Wow Tiger! your stuff is beautiful!

Favorites: Thorn Droplet, and Side by Side Rest, and Early Sunset. Just gorgeous!

(btw...there's a couple of mix-ups: Incy W. Spider appears twice but has a different photo behind the cut. Also "In the Playground" appears again with the title "Squirrel/Nutkin"?!?!)

[EasyTiger]

Thanks luv!

Yeah shutterpoint screwed up with those for some reason :/

[M*O*S*H]

EasyTiger R Photo God!

*Hats Off*

[EasyTiger]

ha! thanks ;)

[Microman]

a whole tone of superb photos easy tiger, they are really good, what camer do you use? i dont know that many cameras that can take what your eye has seen and get photos like that

[EasyTiger]

hehe thanks :) Most were taken with my Minolta Dimage 5. There's a few on there taken with a Kodak DX3600 and Kodak DC280 :)

[Cainam]

Here's a weird pic. That huge orange thing is a rubber glove that is normally used in nuclear work. The question came up at work today 'How strong are thede things, anyway?', so we blew one up with an air hose untill it exploded. You can just see the top of my head behind the blue set of drawers with a jacket on top. I'm 5'11", and I was stooped over a bit, but as you can see, the glove got HUGE, and when it let go it sounded like a rifle shot.

You supposed to swallow them.. or insert them somewhere?

[EasyTiger]

being a throat infection it would kind of make sense to swallow them really wouldn't it?

And yes, they look big because it was taken with a macro lens...

[M*O*S*H]

*pushes imaginary glasses up to bridge of nose*

What equipment u use ET?

I just use my digital camera for most of the shots I post on here. It's a Minolta Dimage 5, with a very nice 7x optical zoom, I also used a +4 close up filter for that shot, to get right in there :)

But to be honest i'm more taken with my SLR than my digicam now :shock:

[M*O*S*H]

hehe thanks Most were taken with my Minolta Dimage 5. There's a few on there taken with a Kodak DX3600 and Kodak DC280


Hehe, I'm blind :-p


SLR's definitley kick digi-arse for control and response, me next student loan instalment's going straight on an Eos 300D :twisted:

[EasyTiger]

I thought you said SLRs kick digicam's arse? :P But you're getting a 300D? :P

I wasn't meaning digi SLR over digicam, I was meaning straight 35mm SLR over any digicam ;)

For convenience digicams are great, but SLRs produce better quality photos, the batteries last shed loads longer, and I just find them easier to handle and use :)

[Fick]

I'm still torn... Do I spend the next student loan on clothes, food and rent or do I buy myself a nice new camera? The dillemma...

[EasyTiger]

I've decided i'm selling my Minolta Dimage 5 soon, and purchasing the lovely Minolta Dimage A1 :>

I would go for the Canon 300D, but frankly I can't afford, and it only comes with an 18-55mm lens. The Dimage has 7x optical zoom lens and proper macro. Plus the dimage is £200 cheaper, so in my price range.

*drool* You will be mine soon :> (http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/CatalogueItem_14260.html)

[Fick]

Was playing with a friend of mines Dimage 5 yesterday afternoon taking a load of rowing photos. Seemed mighty nice.
Still don't know if I can afford a new camera though, might be worth investigating second hand.

[EasyTiger]

They don't make the dimage 5 anymore sadly :/
There is the occasional one on ebay for sale though...

[M*O*S*H]

Yeah Yeah... you know what i mean :-p

I use an anccient Canon A1, Tis the Mutts nuts in my eyes, and i've had some great results, just non digitised to show ya. Have made a few poster prints tho.

I also have a little Digital ixus V, which follows me everywhere,

Combination of the 2 = Eos 300D. It wouldn't go everywhere with me, but By Jove i think i love it!

(I work In a Jessops store so get to play with lots of nice cameras all weeekend, and one day durrin the week when i'm not at Uni)

Some second hand Dimage 5's going at various Jessops stores for around £250 -

Right here (http://www.jessops.com/used/search/index.cfm?ACTION=fitting&BRAND=MIN&FIT=&ITEM=&KEYWORD=&MODEL=&NODEID=&ORD=asc&ORDERBY=product%5Fcode&PRODTYPE=di&SECONDBRAND=&STARTROW=1&STORECODE=&newaction=list)

[manny]

Whats the work/pay like at jessops?

I know it'll vary from shop to shop but whats it like in your experience?

I was thinking of maybe applying there for a job to get me back to working again, and I dont wanna be sat at a computer all day, and photography is one of my only hobbies.

[Fick]

This is turning into a bit of a discussion of cameras rather than photos, but it suits me fine!

Has anyone used/heard anything about the Minolta Dimage Z1? Looks like a reasonable bit of kit for the kind of price. Opinions?

[EasyTiger]

go to www.dpreview.com for all your digital needs ;)

Has reviews on almost all cameras on there, and sample images too :)

Great website!

[M*O*S*H]

It's not too shabby, Although I work in the *shudders* Bluewater store, so we get all the arogant sods from london and all the chav types from north Kent. Job's fun, and pay's not bad, staff discounts can be good :-D and bonuses are cool too .... ranging from money, too free cameras and nights out W00t!


Dimage Z1..... Meh, seems a bit gimicky, zooms good, but that's about all i like about it, Fuji S5000 for the same kinda money, or Olympus U740. Both nicer to hold and better control (in my opinion)

[manny]

:weebl:

[DarkTrojan]

Mmm model paints :) I had those colours somewhere.

[manny]

:weebl:

rest of stuff I took today here (http://ninjarobots.net/index2.php?dir=photos%2Ffelixstowe2/)

[stav]

wow that is amazing, nice one manny :)

[M*O*S*H]

*Wonders How Cainman's getting on with his 5700*

[Fick]

Been playing with macro on new camera:

[Death]

local rider called jon, scanned in and compressed so soz about quality

http://www.boomspeed.com/barryween/Scan0002.JPG

[manny]

nice photo, but which direction is he sposed to be going there? :confused:

[Destrukto]

took this one yesterday, i like autumn :)

[Death]

hes comin towards the camera and if u can imagine he turns the back end towards u and then turns the handlebars away to meet it, then turns them back to land on the slope facing the camera. it was quite hard to get cause he is only in the air for a second or so and I had to wait to develop the film to get it. im quite glad it came out how it did.

[Dødens Knekt]

First snow has fallen where I live :)
http://maggro.sksf.biz/photos/sn%f81.jpg
http://maggro.sksf.biz/photos/sn%f82.jpg

No snow yesterday, I just woke up early this morning and it was tons of it everywhere :D

[Loveli]

It's winter time.

[DarkTrojan]

Oh my, muchos pretty. :) Sadly my camera has disappeared into the hands of my friend again for a bit :(

[Beef Magic]

I did not take this today.

I probably took it last week.

But I devoloped it on Monday (and messed the film up haha), and printed it today

[Death]

stole me dads canon ixus and went on a big photo hunt for my art project. my town now has a light source under the bridge i think that i hadn't noticed until now. anyway here it is.

I have a question to anyone with camera experience. Is it possible to take a picture of clouds at night time. my attempts were unsuccesfull and the only ones that became slightly clear were with no flash and alot of photoshop. can it be done?

edit: the icicle one is lovely, really nice. i am going snoboarding soon and we always go on the most amazing trips. i have been doing it for about 7 years and we get the lift and then walk up for an hour or so and then you hav fresh powder that noone has touched. the scenes are beautiful and i hope to get a great deal of photos from those.

[EasyTiger]

For clouds, and if it's very dark, you need to have a long shutter speed, and no doubt a tripod too to keep the camera still.
I don't know if you can manually set the camera you have up. If not, maybe if you set it up on a tripod, turn the flash off, and hit the shutter button it will manage to pick a long enough shutter speed for it...

[Death]

thk u very much.

[M*O*S*H]

Long shutter speeds .... of moving clouds could (would) be a problem, unless you're looking at the moon .... for which you'd need a very fast shutter speed, or small aperture.

Other than that, a great big whopping lightsource (probably around 3,000,000 Watts, or maybe strong light polution) pointing up at the clouds would help


clouds at night = might as well be taking an out of focus picture of fog.

Night photography is my thing, but if anyone can prove me wrong, i'll accept it

[Beef Magic]

I use a second hand Canon EOS 500N, with a 28-80mm lens. I'm fairly happy with the quaility of photograph's so far.

[EasyTiger]

I think i'm getting the Canon 300D for crimbo *drools* :>

I'm going to get Jessops to price match amazon :P

[M*O*S*H]

Not allowed to tell anyone our best prices tho :-p

They can match that price in store no probs.... and could probably even better it if they could persuade the bods at head office

I want one too .... there goes the next instalment of my student loan

[Beef Magic]

oh yes, the 300D...

I'm not quite 100% sure on SLR digital photography quite yet...

[M*O*S*H]

... most newspapers, and paperatzi people use digital now, but too be honest, if you're gunna print anything larger than A3, 35mm or medium format are still the way to go, ... a Bronica ETR-SI ....luurrrrrvvvleeeee

Peace Out

[EasyTiger]

One of the photos i'm using on one of my next projects...

'The Hollywood Portrait'
We had to set everything up in the studio etc. My first load of negatives were fudged, which meant this was a rush job. For a rush job it came out okay I think though...

[littlefirework]

Horst P. Horst (http://www.peterfetterman.com/artists/horst/horst.html)'s portraits are so great. Spent all day at a show last year- they had to forcibly kick me out of the gallery.

[EasyTiger]

What i've spent all day today doing... My abstract colour portrait. Processed, scanned in, then messed around in photoshop for hrs.

[EasyTiger]

why thankyou!

[Fick]

Had my camera in the lab yesterday having a bit of a play. I just liked the way the colours came out in this one.

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/toxic.jpg

[Fick]

It was a lovely sunny afternoon, so I took my camera to some of the more photogenic parts of town.

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/kingsky.jpg

The west end of King's college chapel, and the sky really was that colour!

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/claregate.jpg

I just liked the way all the gateways lined up.

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/queensbridge.jpg

Reflections are always nice, especially when you can get underneath the bridge!

[Death]

luvley. the 1st and last ones are my favourites + I really like how the reflection came out so nicely in the last. good werk.

[Fick]

Ta very much. The whole collection are on my webpage (http://www.paulhickford.co.uk) , but i've yet to sort them properly so there are a few dodgy ones or very similar ones in there, but it's still worth a look.

As for the bridge there are a few variations of it where I was dabbling with different settings on camera to try and make it nice. Fill in flash is your friend in these kind of situations!

[EasyTiger]

love that first image fick :)

[Fick]

Thank ee. I've put a huge version (2048x1536) here (http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/PICT0083.JPG) if anyone wants it for desktops etc. Looks mighty nice on my lab pc!

[DarkTrojan]

To celebrate photo number 2100 from my camera. :cool:

[Cainam]

Well, I'm back online. Some nut got drunk and decided that the proper speed to make a turn in a residential neighborhood was 3X ( he was going about 75 miles per hour!) the posted speed limit, and hit a telephone pole so hard with his car that it moved down the street 3 houses. The shock on the lines broke wires over 1 mile away, and fried the DSL box I was hooked up to. Yay. I got my new Nikon 5700 that day, but I had no batteries charged to take a picture of the scene. Yay X2. Plus I was without power for 2 days, with no heat, and I had to run the fish tanks off of my computer's U.P.S. to keep them alive. Yay, AND Woo.
Here's a pic with the my new toy. I didn't have to do ANYTHING to this except resize it, no photoshopping.
By the way, I'm surprised that no one said anything about that glove I posted a while back.

[Loveli]

It's rather calming to stand outside while the snow softly drifts down at eight in the morning.

[DarkTrojan]

Wow that's muchos pretty Loneli :)

[Cainam]

I took this one in my shop. It's the inside of the propane heater I just got.

[Werewolf Jackal]

animal luv.....awwww
too bad i dont have a piccy of it....:mad: :weebl:

[EasyTiger]

I'm quite proud of this photo. I've been trying to achieve an effect like this for ages, and then it all came along by coincidence :P

I call it 'youth' ;D

[Werewolf Jackal]

fuck thats scary

[EasyTiger]

why?

[Fick]

'tis a very nice photo ET.

Inspired by the Watches thread in pap I've been having a play. See if you can guess the exposure time on this one! ;)

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/longexposurewatch.jpg
just changed the photo a bit

[Cainam]

Hey, Fick & Easy Tiger - cool pics! I'm working ALOT lately, and I'm trying to come up with interesting shots that I can take without really going anywhere. I got this oen about 6 inches from my cat's face. I don't think he liked the flash much. . .

[EasyTiger]

Cainam, that's a great photo!

And Fick - 4 seconds? ;) nice pic :)

I have many more from my newphew's party...

I just love the bright colours with the blur. I don't know why :)

[M*O*S*H]

That your beast of a CP 5700 there Cain?

[Death]

the cats nose one is cool. today its mah kitchen:

http://www.boomspeed.com/barryween/potnoodle.jpg

[Cainam]

Hey, M*O*S*H* - yea, it's a 5700. If anyone out there is thinking of getting one, I'll say this: You will NOT be disappointed IF YOU READ THE MANUAL. It is a very nice camera, and the picture quality is just as good as a friend's Olympus E-20, but this thing is much more complicated than the last camera I had. I'm working on getting a bit better depth of field with close ups and macro. You can see the fish's lips are in focus, but it goes out of focus quickly.:nana:

Death got it good with that one! Nice, long depth. What are you using?

By the way, that Koi is about 15" long and still growing.

[Fick]

I made this!

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/crystals.jpg

I'm still in love with macro!

[M*O*S*H]

Macro rules! Small depth of field forever!! Haazzaaaaa!



On a not very camera related note...... I work in a camera shop, in a big shopping centre .... today is a SUNDAY, and people are buying CHRISTMAS presents! ....... is it just me who see's the irony/idiocy in that?! and to top it all off, all the customers are arrogant and selfish, and i even had my drink pinched on me way back from the food court.....the general public should go away and grow brains and manners......


Macro!! WOOOO!

[Cainam]

Took this with +1, +2 and +4 macro lenses all on at the same time. Macroweebl forum.

[Fick]

Thats some mighty impressive macro. This is the best I can do, it's a cropped section of a photo of a bank note.

[Death]

I use an ixus 400 cainman

I took this picture today because I was wondering if the steam would come through. I rushed it and I didnt put alot of effort in and so the picture could have been alot better I guess:

[DarkTrojan]

My new toy (filched from work :))... and a little photoshop.

[Fick]

Was playing with Itchy t'other day, semi inspired by ET's Hollywood Portrait.

[Fick]

I took this out of the window of a car half way up the A1 this afternoon.

[Cainam]

Macrosoda

[M*O*S*H]

I'm gunna hafta get me old A1 and all me macro gear out .... and maybe post a few shots of my own ...... Cainam and Fick have inspired me due to their Fantastic efforts!




(The above may not happen for some time, depending on how busy/lazy I am)

[EasyTiger]

I would love a macro lens for my Nikon or (soon to be mine) Canon. Shame they're like at least £400 2nd hand :(

[Cainam]

Check eBay, Easy T. You might be able to get a good deal. I've had some good luck there.

[Fick]

After ET mentioned it t'other day I've been pondering Shutterpoint, which made me start playing with the different filesize settings on my camera.

This was one of the pics I took while experimenting, and I just liked it. And yes, I was supposed to be working instead of playing with my camera...

[Death]

My friend got his interview in a magzine today and he was quite chuffed, he asked me to scan the photo bit so he could send it to his sponsors and others for showing off etc..

anyway the bottom photo was really good ah thought so, I'm gonna post it. they were by Kieth Bridle so yay for him I guess.

[Cainam]

One more of my cats, Kabuki. I was playing arround with the flash on this one. With the camera's built in flash blocked, and an external flash pointed straight up at the ceiling, I didn't get any eye flash. Cats' eyes are REALLY bad for giving horrible light up with flashes. Not too bad, eh?

[Fick]

Isn't eBay great? My wearbear arrived this morning!

ROAR!

[Fick]

I'm turning into a bit of a photo thread whore at the mo, but it's been snowing!

[eejit]

clydebank, from Yoker train station this morning.

look at all our beautiful snow :( :(

[Cainam]

If you mean people don't stop posting pics of snow, I will post a macro of my big toe nail. I WANT SNOW TOO, DAMMIT!!!

Great shots. I'm going to take a trip up into the mountains in a few days, and I'll post the pics I get. . . And there WILL be snow, or else!

plymouth's barbican area yesterday

[Cainam]

Someone got me a cable release for my 5700! WOO! This thing is great. You can set it to take pictures continuously, at any interval from 2 minutes to 24 hours. Must play now.

[EasyTiger]

I have my canon 300D! :D
It's absolutely -gorgeous-!
It can do a burst of 4 shots in 1 second... and the ISO ranges from 100-1600, with little noise at 1600 :D

A sample picture from yesterday ;) Taken with the 18-55mm lens that comes with it :)

[M*O*S*H]

Me Jelous ET!

Still not quite saved up for mine yet .... ooooh



*Thinks* I could post pictures that i take at work with flashy cameras and pretend they're mine :ninja:

[EasyTiger]

Fanks :)


'Don't have a cow'

[Fick]

Awwww. Is that one of those things that collapse when you push the bottom? Mighty cute face.

[EasyTiger]

the very same :)

[Cainam]

My truck is broke, so I'm not able to get up to the mountains for a few days:mad: , so I spent a little while working on this one. I had to load the bullet with very little powder to keep the speed down so that it wouldn't fragment, then I shot it into a rotten log. I have it sitting on a piece of sandpaper.
