Lollipup Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I like Kja's idea. Something simple and fundamental is easiest for me as a newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I took this freesia pic earlier , being Spring & all .. it is pretty much as it came out of camera ... with a bit more smoothing of background . Because it was a distance from any other plants .. focus could be just on what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Hope these qualify, I went to the market today. I thought this bloke was handsome, pretty sure he's from Afghanistan, he liked having his photo taken, very relaxed about it. 5F6A1685dppt by kirislin, on Flickr a flower stall 5F6A1681dpp by kirislin, on Flickr 5F6A1683dppt by kirislin, on Flickr not often seen in my little town 5F6A1680dppt by kirislin, on Flickr Edited September 2, 2012 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are You Serious Jo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yep, saw someone that resembled you at the SA dog rescue stand, but not quite so I didn't say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I've forgotten who is who and who doesn't get on with who and there were seventy eleven thousand rescue stands there :laugh: They had cresties and someone who looks like you so my mind though snook. Though it sounds like it might have been interesting if I had of asked, I was ready for a brawl after getting through the crowds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks kja and Pers. I dont go to the market much 'cause it's absolute madness in town on a Sunday anyway, all the tourists, but market day is even worse. I might have to get braver though and try it more, I was shy about taking photos, I missed some great opportunities, if only I'd had a bit more "pluck" the carpet seller wanted to buy my camera! :laugh: Edited September 3, 2012 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) this is Tag, he had a fit early this morning so I thought I'd better take some photos of him. He seems fine today.

Are You Serious Jo Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Noice hair :D I found a cheap second hand copy of a lens I've wanted for a while and it's awesome! I've been using a shitty kit long zoom and you can really see the IQ is crap. I also found that I have overlooked one colour profile setting that may account for some of the print issues I've been seeing so hopefully I am on the way to fixing that. I've hardly picked the camera up lately as I've been feeling crap so I'm looking forward to getting out with my new lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Nice shot Huga! Jo what is the lens you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It's a DA 55-300 to replace my F 100-300. Is a bit heavier so will take a bit of practise to hand hold but a big leap forward. My second body will be an upgrade (a new pro body is due out soon so prices are dropping on the current models) and the step up from my semi pro body to the pro is a massive one for IQ, AF and handling noise. Then I'll just need a DA 16 -50 and I'll be set for lenses. Plus I got two merits for last month's camera club entries :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
