peter48,
A couple of weeks ago I was out with my camera and got a great photograph of two Bald-Headed Eagles. Lucky to get near them.

I too love getting out and about with my camera. It makes me aware of everything going on around me, wanting to get the right image, and gives me the excuse to travel widely to find new inspiration!

I am seriously thinking of buying a Nikon Coolpix camera....preferably a purple one.....the 1300 one is supposed to be a good one....your thoughts will be helpful....

You can't go wrong with Nikons lizzie
Although the canon brigade would beg to differ
A lot depends what you want out of your photography, if its just for snapping things here and there the cool pix is a good camera
If you want to get serious about it, your better off paying a little extra and getting an SLR be it Nikon or Canon
That way you can add lenses and the like to it
Hope this is useful to you

When you come to think of it

Photography is very important to the life of communities and countries
If we didn't take pictures there would be no record of what things were like
I'm only sorry I didn't take it more serious when I was younger, imagine going round and photographing streets and people back in the 50s and 60s
What a record we would have of our communities
Alas I didn't and now I regret it

Ditto Peter.....I have put a picture of my Dad on albums and it is the old sepia, with a little enhancement from my iPad edit and it came out a little sharper....my son in law is an avid snapper and his camera is a big un with all the bells and whistles......

i have a Lumix . it's a small camera with a 16x zoom. it does me pretty well . i got it 2nd hand and cheap. sometimes I think about treating myself to a better one but this is easy to use and fits in a pocket. i'm holding it on that photo I put on the thread about what do people look like.

Replied: 9th Apr 2013 at 22:31

Gareth
Nikon D3200 is a very good camera, all you'll ever need; it's higher spec than mine

Don't be tempted to buy extra lenses; the one supplied is perfect

I always set my dial to 'P' and fire away

Thanks Cordy. The sales staff was trying to sell me a primer lens, or something. A 50mm. They said it was a sharper picture.

Replied: 9th Apr 2013 at 22:46

Posted by: cordyline (5350) 

Get the standard camera ! it's a deluxe outfit
You can decide on extra lenses later

On my Nikon I have a 35mm; no zoom etc, it's the nearest lense to the old film type cameras [which equates to the old 50mm] that's all I ever use

My mate has similar lense to the one on the Nikon D3200
He's tried my 35mm on his camera and can't see the difference in quality

Buy the D3200; read Rockwell and a few Nikon forums

Enthusiasm is the main factor in photography, amateur or professional not extra lenses and gizmos

You cant go wrong with a nikon
I have 3 D40, D80, and a D90 with various lenses
Those 50mm prime lenses are good but are mainly used for portraits, they are limited in what you can do with them
As cordy says, go with the one they give you with the camera and take it from there

Replied: 10th Apr 2013 at 10:17

Posted by: cordyline (5350) 

I bought my used D90 on ebay; was looking for a D40 but noticed the sellers were moving up from D40 to D90

It was in a neighbouring town so I was able to go and pay cash on collect
It's possible to check how many photos a camera has taken using an EXIF program
Mine was hardly used when I got it
Shutter count: 1699 when bought 29 Sept 2010

Nikon say they are good for 100,000 photos

Replied: 10th Apr 2013 at 10:29

Remember when - you had to choose your film speed before setting off for a shoot. Use a light meter to be able to set your F stops and shutter speed. Use a focus ring for definition. Wait till you finished the roll before processing. Load the film into the developing tank in complete darkness. Process the film and hang up to dry. Have a special dark room to be able to use an enlarger to create prints. All for a black & white print.

Today - point, shoot, print and send round the world in a matter of minutes, all in glorious colour.

Here is one I took when playing with my new SLR... using HDR processing. I took three exposures, one over and one under exposed, and one at the correct exposure, then I merged them. It was a dull and overcast day.

Before you ask Lizzie... please fell free to download any photograph of mine that I post. You have permission for all of them.

Thanks for the comments re the butterfly shot.
Hi Kath, I took the butterfly shot with my SX240. It's just a compact with a long zoom and manual controls. What camera have you got?

Here's one I took a few weeks ago of a dog who was playing in the River Douglas. I took this one with my Fuji X10.

Aye it was a bit warm :)

It's an area of open meadow just a few minutes walk from the centre of Oxford...

Port Meadow

"The meadow is an ancient area of grazing land, still used for horses and cattle, and has never been ploughed - at least for around 4,000 years. In return for helping to defend the kingdom against the marauding Danes, the Freemen of Oxford were given the 300 acres (120 ha) of pasture next to the River Thames by Alfred the Great who founded the city in the 10th century. The Freemen's collective right to graze their animals free of charge is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and has been exercised ever since."

Dave, I take quite a lot of sunsets, as I want to create a calender with a good sunset for each month from where I live.

I find that photo-ready sunsets only last a few minutes and in 10 minutes big changes can happen. I take a lot at different exposures and I am pleased if I get one good one. I usually need to set my camera with exposure compensation EV -1/3 to -1 otherwise colour and details get lost.

I started a topic on the forum called Last Light last year and I (and others) have been adding to it since then. It is here:

Hi Golden Bear. I've used Canon PowerShots for over 10 years. Never an SX410 but the recent ones are fairly similar. They aren't great indoors but outside in good light they are good. When taking photos indoors or in dull conditions watch out for a little red flashing camera symbol on the screen, that means there isn't enough light and the shutter speed will be slow which usually results in blurry photos.
What types of photography is your wife interested in? Flowers, landscapes, people or (like me) anything and everything?
If she has taken some photos already please post some. If there are any she isn't happy with tell us why and we may be able to help.

Thank you arrow,
As I say she is only just starting she has been interested for a long time have just talked with her and she is like you she has said she wants to take anything and everything that catches her eye, as for the red flashing we note that has not happened , she has taken lots of photos at Christmas down south with g/children indoors and they are all ok.
Finally arrow I have to admit something embarrassing ,I'm a bit of a thicky I have trouble trying to get photos onto WW,
BUT THANK YOU AGAIN FROM MARGARET AND MYSELF GB/

You're welcome Golden Bear. Margaret I hope you enjoy your new hobby
Getting photos on here isn't as easy as on some other sites. Hopefully it will be easier on the new WW website when it goes live.

Bit odd this one. Closes in June and it's for a Christmas card - so all photos much have already been taken.

"By entering this competition you agree to waiver all rights and financial claims to the image and its use"

Just for entering? You waiver ALL rights? Shared copyright is the norm.

Not for me thanks!

GB those "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting" messages you are seeing are adverts from Photobucket, there's nothing you can do about them.
Photobucket was a free image hosting website that allowed us to upload photos to their website to share on other websites. Photobucket have changed their terms so that users now need to pay to have the option to share on other websites. They want over £300 a year I will not be paying that!

If you want to share your photos on here Flickr is hard to beat.
