Malcontent: The picture is a little blue for my taste, seems a little unnatural.
Metric: You make me want to get a macro lense. :(
Beepbeep2: Very nice capture, what hardware are you using?
Particle: Love the warm colors.
I'm actually using a Fujifilm S700. (Cleaned up with NeatImage, I've sadly messed with it in GIMP 2.6.5, there is no way to get a good one right out of the camera) Hopefully I'll be able to get a DSLR sometime soon, but I'm only 13 years old (yes, really)...parents will only give so much.
That shot was taken at ISO 200, shutter speed 1/320, aperture of F4.5, exposure bias value of 0 and focal length of 63.3mm
Thanks for the info!Quote:

I know it hasn't been a day but for me it's close and many of you it has...I can't resist.

Cute puppy. Looks to be a tad heavy on the sharpening though.Quote:

I prefer the sharper image over the others I've done so far :shrug: :up:

A shot of my cat :)
My cats seem intent on running away from my camera. You picked up a good shot there.
Hehe cats are really the best pet :). Hate dogs even though i got one that is a really nice one :O flatcoated retriever .... my dog thinks he weight 2kg like when hes jumping up on my in the chair. Cats you just buy them and play with them when you wants to the dog allways want attention and you really have to work with the dog ^^
Just testing out the Zoom :)

Just checked that refinery's distance from my house and its just over 4 miles.
Quite rediculous :rofl:
Imagine a 130x Camera :shocked:
well all zoom is, is the ratio of the largest focal length/smallest focal length.Quote:

ex: the Canon 1200mm F4 L is technically a 0x Zoom
but I doubt it's picture looks anything like your 0x Zoom lol

With post processing...
Vignetting was wanted, reason for larger aperture.

The exposure of the image has been corrected downwards quite heavily in post processing, it was about as bright as the sun when it came from the camera, otherwise it's untouched.
Hefemeister, it would be nice if you could upload a bigger version of that picture. :)
A moth.Quote:

Yeah its hard to avoid that in Washington, at least around where I live. The clouds screw with the light and make every thing look unnatural. :/Quote:

I know it looks strange with the angle but try not to judge it on that :) C&C is welcome.

Or do people not need to know, is there some way of working out what the 1200mm equals out into the real world? Because me as a noob has no idea how far in distance that lense can focus, and also, what's that lense actually used for? Taking shots of what? Planes the Moon etc?
Shed some light :up:
Do companies even make lenses that with ranges like that?Quote:

Would it not be inefficient for somebody to bring out such a lense, seing as its basically what a cheaper camera is based around :shrug:
I thought that was the whole reason photographers carried around many different lenses for different scenes, so that the lense that they use would be designed and work much better in a certain situation and therefore produce a better image instead of using a lense that is probably not as good all over the field?
Sorry for the big post, just trying to learn something :up:
I quite like that picture, the greens contrast nicely with the trees.Quote:

From what I've understood, 200mm is equivalent to around 11.1x zoom and more than that with a 35mm sensor, such as on the Nikon D300 etc. There isn't a conversion between the two standards, as one focuses simply on the size of the picture in the end compared to what you had when you didn't "zoom" in at all and the other is based on mathematics.Quote:

Lenses like that are obviously a bit more limited than portable lenses. Taking pictures of the moon would be one possibility, other general uses include photos for National Geographic and the like.
Whilst I don't know much about the insides of a camera, I've always reckoned that a superzoom and an SLR are work in different ways. When I manually focus with my Fujifilm s6500fd I hear an electronic motor doing something, when I manually focus with my Nikon D60 + lense I hear nothing except mechanical noise.Quote:

For example, in terms of image quality, the Nikkor 55-200VR is said to be superior over the 18-200VR. Like you said, one is usually better off getting a lense for the particular situation.
zoom lenses for dslr's and point and shoots work the same way in terms of their multiplier. any zoom lens whether dslr or p&s has a short end and a long end. take a 18-55mm dslr lens for example. short end = 18mm, long end = 55mm. 55/18 = 3.05555. so the 18-55mm slr lens has a 3x zoom range.
p&s cameras are described a little differently, but also incorrectly. p&s cameras such as the Canon SD880 are marketed as a 4x optical zoom. well... that 4x zoom really doesn't mean anything unless you know the focal length on the short end. 4x what? who knows? on the SD880 the short end is 28mm so 28x4 = 112. so the SD880 has a 28-112mm lens built in.
