Jclarke v. Dixie Photo Comp (Friendly)

Dixie · 09-16-2007, 09:01 AM

Hey Jclarke, get your butt over here mate! I got my new camera, Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H7 edition.

For right now I did alot of feeler shots but here's some shots I really like that Ive gotten from the camera.

As I get more comfortable with the camera I will be posting more photos, especially as fall is approaching here in the northern hemisphere.

Freaky Cat · 09-16-2007, 09:03 AM

beautiful background of the trees and your dd is sooo cute! heh!

starrygaze · 09-16-2007, 09:04 AM

wow your pics look great and sharp. glad you have digital camera. i love your pictures. your daugher is cute! your country scenery is beautiful!

LakeTahoe · 09-16-2007, 09:17 AM

Congratulation that you got a digital camera!

Enjoy it! Your DD is such a cutie and beautiful girl! And the rest of pictures are awesome! Keep it up! I needed a new camera also! As long as my camera works, that's all count.

Dixie · 09-16-2007, 01:13 PM

Thank you everyone! As I get more comfortable with the camera and its controls, I'll be posting more pics. With me living so far out in the country I hope I can get some wonderful nature shots, perhaps one or two to submit to a photo contest. This is a lot of fun and interesting to work with different combinations to see what I get in the result.

ChelEler · 09-16-2007, 04:21 PM

Awwww cute girl!!! Beautiful pictures too! Keep them coming!

Jacob · 09-18-2007, 07:55 PM

Excellent, lets get this started! I will do some photoshooting this weekend! As I am quite busy at the moment, ha!

And also, Dixie, does your camera have rule of thirds lining on your LCD?

Dixie · 09-18-2007, 08:02 PM

I believe so, but Im still in the playing around with it stages. I'll have to get out the manual to tell what each individual marking is on the LCD. I do know it has a face detection feature.

Got a picture of your new camera, no?

Dixie · 09-18-2007, 08:35 PM

no - because I dont know where my other digital camera is now! Im sure its somewhere, probably stuck back in a drawer and forgotten about.

You can view the exact model here:

Doesn't matter about your old one, I meant the new one but you did.

Whoa, that model is quite similar to mine, despite your MP is quite higher than mine, but lucky enough, I did the photograpgy class in high school

Dixie · 09-18-2007, 08:43 PM

haha - but I can quickly pick up tips and what not on the internet.

SxySpicyGrrl · 09-19-2007, 01:03 AM

Hey that pixs is so cute and keep it up with take a pix of differnt things etc... I love to take a pix its fun!

Enjoy it!

sequoias · 09-19-2007, 03:57 AM

sorry, guys its no race for who is doing the best photography. just take it easy and learn to shoot picures for fun. you don't rally have to do it. you would just share your work, that's all.

by the way you did a nice job with photography.

I have been doing digital photography for a long time, anyhow. I got few thousands pictures saved in my dvd-rw.

I should build a website to share my photography work, just for fun.

seq.. dixie did posted the thread saying Jclarke v. Dixie Photo Comp (Friendly) which it show friendly.. so obivously its not a serious competetion then!

sequoias · 09-19-2007, 02:34 PM

just making sure.

Here's my opinion.....the best digital camera will not make your photography skills better, it's your skills that make the photos better. If you know how to configure your digital camera to get the most of it, even with a old camera. Newer/higher megapixel cameras technically will just make a better quality picture for print/detail. I currently have a Olympus C-765 Ultra zoom and it's 4 megapixel CCD with 10x optical zoom. It's my 3rd digital camera since the first one I had back from 2000. Some of you have seen a few of my photography from my camera, it's not the camera making pictures better. I did it with my own skills.

Its a friendly competition between me and Mr. Clarke, nothing serious -'cept the photography, hehe.

I know the the camera doesnt make the photographer, but I was done with my point and shoot, I wanted something that allowed me a little more control. I wanted to get creative with my shots. Besides I hope to someday have professional looking shots.

And Im adding more photos to the list:

sequoias · 09-19-2007, 04:50 PM

Cool, Dixie....those are really beautiful pictures you took. When was your first digital camera you ever had? How many different digital cameras have you had, too? I'm curious,

This would be my 4th personal camera and my 2nd digital camera.

my first digital camera was a point and shoot called the Pentax Optio30. It was alright, but it was also one of the first digital cameras that came out within an affordable price range.

Today the plant manager had the first digital camera made by Sony (the Mavica) out, looking at that one and comparing it to todays digitals and my camera- oh my goodness we have come a looooong ways in quality improvement. I think the first Sony Mavica had a 3 second video capability, with around 2 or 3 megapixels and it was large and clunky, it takes a 3.5 floppy disk with FAR FAR less storage than my 1G memory stick.

Wow, really? I remember seeing the Sony cameras with floppy disks, lol. Those were funny cuz it only holds a little space on each floppies.

I had a Sony DSC-S30 with a swivel LCD panel which I can take a portiat of myself or take pics of things at a weird angles, too. It was a 1.3 megapixel, too. The digital cameras I had was Olympus Camedia (first one), 2nd was a Sony DSC-S30 and right now I have a Olympus C-765 Ultra zoom. I will upgrade with a newer digital camera in the near future. I hope for something with at least 10 megapixels. Did you know that film is equalivent to 20 megapixel?

I had several film cameras but I don't really remember which one, haha.
