Interesting Pics

I have an idea.......

If there is a halloween grove reunion, I think we should all go in fancy dress as hippy's ( hire out hippy costumes and mad wigs, the more outrageous the better) and then we can pose for the camera for the calender. Only to go on sale between the Grove website members though. I reckon there is enough members here to make money for charity and it would be a great keepsake for us all to have.

So who's game ? the more the merrier

If your doin' cameraman for the ladies section of the calender--Can I do the lights !!!!!

yah know I have no pics of the Grove Days and that is no joke, hated having anything extra on me except membership card . No coat or nothing, even hate having to carry a bag now!

With regards to a calendar, hope you are seriously good at air brushing HD!

I though I was your baby

The camera auto determines the length of the exposure depending on what light is available. My camera has come down in price in Dixon its down from €450 to €370... The brother thinking of getting one now.

HD had a quick look at the Nixon D40.. took my hand and eyes real quick though. I might start thinking of an SLR after Christmas

HD and Robbie63 I have a Photoshop Tutorial on CD if either of you want a copy of it. I haven't watched it yet myself though

I just bought a Ricoh Film SLR which is basically a Pentax rebadged. __________________ Hayseed The pentax is a nice and easy camera to us. It is very comfortable to hold, but I feel that the picture quality is a bit lacking. I want an SLR that can take great black and white pics without having to convert them in the computer. The Canon Eos 400 does this but I haven´t tried it yet. I also have a Minolta DImage Z3 which takes amazing pics. The only problem is that it eats batteries and takes ages to focus.

Robbie ... to be honest all the DSLR's can take mono images in camera..but really all it's doing is converting it in camera as Digital Camera only "see" in colour. It's far better to convert in a photo editing program. If ya like I can send ya some stuff on some different ways of converting to mono.

Freebird..the Canon 400D and Nikon D80 (my Baby) are similarly spec'd cameras and will both give excellent results. The one thing that most people agree about Nikons is that they are more intuitive to use for beginners. The menu system is easier to get around in other words. But really most photographers will advise you to go try the cameras in a shop. Hold them and see which feel more comfortable in your hands :-)..and yes..I'm still talking cameras here

Pete..that's a nice long exposure shot (8 secs). Can really get some nice results with long exposures.

Oh...and as regards a Grove Calender Boys thing..hey..I'll volunteer my service free of charge...as long as I am BEHIND the lens...heheh.

Oh and...what about a Calender Girls one?? Heaven knows we have enough good looking girls on this site..hehehe!!

Later peeps!!

Pete

 

Any shot from that era will do--don't you think. You must have one ??

I'm going to have a good root ( sorry I said that ) around for some.

I'll need help then as I haven't a clue how to get them scanned on to this site

Evangeline,

Hope your ankle is getting better.  Your idea is great ie the Calender - go ahead and organise that, great fun for Christmas. V

Excuses, excuses!
