'Why Film Still Wins Over Digital SLRs'

Good shots P!

Mrs Willy took this one of my horse a couple of months ago with her little Fuji digital...

Cool shots Panther! I really like the train tracks. I should have probably gone to the car show today to take pics, but I decided I was too lazy.

I'll get some pics from yesterday up tonight sometime.

We should really get a separate subforum! :kilroy:
 
That's a darn nice camera that Mrs. Willy has. Definitely better than your standard point-&-shoot cameras (as you can tell with the clarity in her shot)& with some DSLR features (Oh and, nice horse-ee) :wiggle:
 
Panther you took a good train track picture...isn't it amazing how you start looking at stuff again when you have a new phototoy?
The first Police picture is also pretty "telling" - what is that tricycle thing, a Segway with training wheels??

There are plenty of closet photographers here, I'd support a photo forum too.
 
Here's a couple from my visit to a local nature center.

I'm still not happy with the green. Back into photoshop...
Actually I think I am going to start over with this one. Gotta love RAW. :kilroy:

Here it is.... it's the same file. I added the 'c' on the end when resizing it. You will notice some info missing or not making sense for this one. That's because the camera body was connected to a small telescope, not a lens!

Wow, 30 seconds!? :isadizzy:

Must have a really stable tripod/telescope mount. Even taking a 5+ second exposure with my cheap tripod causes blur...

That is really cool that you can hook it up to a telescope though.

The limiting factor of my set up is how well the motors matching the rotation of the earth on the scope can handle the extra weight of the camera. If there was no tracking, all those stars would be streaked.
