Went out this morning and FINALLY took pics of my 12R - I got it about two months ago. Sorry for the blurry first pic. Enjoy!

Thanks, but I really need to get a SLR camera - point and shoot for the losers! I even forgot to turn off the incandescent white balance option - so I had to edit the crud out of them. But overall they turned out well.

Your pic almost looks like an HDR. Nice!

a guy on badweb is selling his d90

but also its not the camera its the user
I have seen pictures taken with point and click cameras and even cell phones that make me want to drop kick my D90


Your pic almost looks like an HDR.

I worked hard on this one lightning wise, I used the flash so I could focus on a bright location meter in another less bright location and slightly overexpose it using a remote flash and a long exposure time.
darkening in post gives it a bit of that HDR look along with having a much larger stop range than the camera can capture by itself and long exposing it catching the darker bits.

A lot of compact point and shoots have great features no one uses, like exposure compensation, slow sync flash, selective metering etc. I leave my D80 at home most of the time because it's too bulky. I take my D40 a lot more because of the size but mostly take my Canon SD1200. Even something simple like using fill flash can make a huge difference. I've had people laugh at me when I use the flash in broad daylight, until they see their pictures have shadows under a persons eyes or noses and mine don't. Then they ask me to forward my copies to them :)

You just got to know basic photography techniques and most pocket digital cameras can do wonders.

Yeah - I've been trying to learn, but with so many other things go on lately, just haven't been able to put much time into it.

Here's some pics I took today, same location:

I only touched these up slightly with a small brightness and contrast adjustment (+/- 5 points). Other than that, they are straight out of the camera. Not too shabby me thinks.;)

now if only they were as fast as DSLR's or had the low light performance....

but for the average user they are more than enough camera.
my problem is I could never get good shots of my son with a PHD (push here dummy :))camera, took too long to power on took to long to focus took too long to capture and took to long to write.
but if you are not in a hurry a PHD really CAN do wonders.

Two compacts that I really have my eye on is the Canon S90 and S95. They have full manual control and a 2.0 aperture lens. A full size cmos sensor means it will take as good a picture as any dslr. Oh and it gets as wide as 28mm too. They are spendy (over $350) but so small you can still put it in your front pocket.

they are actually using 1/1.7 sensors (via usa.canon.com), thats about 1/9 the size my sensor in my D90 and my d90 isn't even a full size sensor.

still a decent looking camera though

I don't do much nature/fall stuff.

I'm really into abandoned buildings, cars, and stuff like that.

But here are a couple I shot the other day.

Nice stuff on here guys!

ps I need to get my sizing and res. right for posting on this site.. these look kinda fuzzy.

oh well. :)


Thanks, but I really need to get a SLR camera

check out the Pentax K-x series. Pretty much deemed one of the best bang for your buck dslr cameras.. My first was a k-x and I still use it from time to time.
