A Few Pictures I Took Today - Page 104

I logged into a new computer to see how my pictures are viewed by someone without a drop box account. Depressing comes to mind. I'm about to delete this service but wanted to see if what I experienced is a fluke or if you're all seeing the same thing.

Are you able to zoom into the images? Does it resize as you resize your window? You should be able to zoom into where you can see the individual stitches in the dress.

If it doesn't give you this ability then you're not seeing the pictures as I intended. I'm going to start to look for another solution.

Aaaarrrrgh

Homer - I am able to zoom into the photo. It also resizes when I resize my window, so no problems on my end. Beautiful photo, btw - incredible detail!

Very beautiful images Homer; we are expecting snow in London this week and it's getting really cold.

Random;

Happy New Year Everyone!

Well I picked up my EOS M during the week. Still trying to get to grips with the touch screen, but the auto is superb as is the picture quality. Stuck my 100-400mm zoom on to it -- looked ridiculous but results good

IMHO
You can't do much netter than the Fuji range until you get to the mid to upper DSLR. Lumix have a good reputation, but I think they are over-priced in the UK

Sorry for deleting my post about going for a real camera instead of my phone camera; I will definitely check both brands out and thanks for the valuable info...) I went browsing...lots of exciting very compact and versatile models out there..very exciting..)

Lovely to see your visualisation of "Duo', B! You've triggered my mind to wonder who the singer would be.

Happy New Year to you too, hope you'll write and shoot many more beauties the coming year. Here's to a creative New Year for y'all.

Many thanks Page, for your kind words; I hope so and and very much wish you more of the same too..)
I guess 'Duo' is about people who love the music they make so much you can feel it when they perform..such a great feeling..)

Here’s a question to participants of this thread.
My experience using digital cameras, by my own admission. Is very limited. I remember using my first digital camera, and was appalled by the shutter lag. (The delay in pressing the shutter button, to the time the picture was actually taken by the camera).
My concern was the ability to take effective candids, despite the shutter lag.
Has technology progressed to improve the shutter lag?

I realise the CCD has to capture sufficient light for the proposed image, and then that has to be converted into data, by protocols within the camera.
Depending upon the resolution and size of image. Has the shutter lag on modern digital cameras become more acceptable?
Similar to the response of the old film cameras?

Ber · January 17th, 2013, 11:38 PM

I guess it takes a while for the auto-focusing, lighting mechanism etc to set in. Can this be solved by turning these off in the settings?
Great point raised;.it will be interesting looking into this.

Most DSLRs have a very rapid response, providing you have the release half depressed to pre-focus on your subject.

Most higher level cameras will allow you to switch to manual focus which with manual exposure gives the same time as a film camera

Manual focussing is not made easy by the lack of focus assist such as split image or similar (The Canon 5D has an optional fresnal screen for this). I find cameras with electronic viewfinders near impossible to focus manually

It was a sticky snow and little wind so it made for a very picturesque day once the sun broke out. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m101etwd8j...0-_SDI0593.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfbsh6z6jk...0-_SDI0597.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/kng6nmi5q1...0-_SDI0599.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/fkcfz3ywmd...0-_SDI0610.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5nruuvza4...0-_SDI0626.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/zn7nmqeshp...0-_SDI0638.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/1nxg3istwy...0-_SDI0692.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/0s9dhw9m96...0-_SDI0693.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/n6uiutdwnf...0-_SDI0721.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/haixp3qwxe...0-_SDI0722.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gqkl4cqpx...0-_SDI0727.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/0icxn7ji5n...1-_SDI0748.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/o9lf456epi...1-_SDI0749.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/7yppvlrtyv...1-_SDI0754.jpg I really like how the B&W conversions came out.
