Our DSLR serves my wife and me very well. It gives me the control I want over every stinking picture I take, and it has an automatic mode for my wife to use. Automatic really means totally automatic - you can't choose the focus group, and it'll even pop the flash (which is brighter than the freaking sun, my one complaint about the camera) when it sees fit. I hate using LCDs as viewfinders. Most people have difficulty with them, so they make family get-togethers more aggravating. Who hasn't waited while their aunt or uncle try to find everybody in that little screen, when they could just look through the stupid camera? I futz with my camera much more than any aunt or uncle at a family picnic, so I don't make anybody pose. I like candid photos much, much better.

I have come back mainly to compliment in regard to the photos published here. They all have real appeal, as well as having technical features. I love the child framed with the hand rail, but not in exclusion of others. I agree that an LCD screen is a pain and no match for a proper SLR which gives all the required information in one visual message. Photography frustrated me until I obtained an SLR which brings everything logically into FOCUS Excellent worthy thread.

OK. I know these two photos aren't worthy of this thread, but I wanted to demonstrate something that I learned in photography class many years ago. Something that you can't do with an automatic compact camera. I don't even know if you can do it with a digital SLR.
I took these two photos one after another with my 35mm SLR in "manual aperture" mode, trying to achieve a different effect in each case. I haven't retouched them, just scanned them and saved as jpgs. For the first photo, I set the aperture wide open (1.7) and the camera automatically increased the shutter speed. You will notice that there is a very narrow depth of field. The SVX Network logo is sharp, but things nearer or further are out of focus. For the second photo, I set the aperture really small (22) and the camera automatically decreased the shutter speed. This increases the depth of field. Now everything is in focus. I suppose I should have done a half-way open photo as well, but I didn't think of it at the time.

So who came up with the convention:
small aperture = larger # = the hole that lets light in is small larger aperture = small # = the hole that lets light in is large Its always sounded confusing to me. Anyways, here are a few that i've taken using my Olympus C700 UZ (2.1Mpx). - First pic is my cat (while he was chewing the camera strap) - Second is a sunset in South Padre Island - Third is of a spider that had taken up residence in the bushes in my front yard |
