This fall he bought a 12megapixel point and shoot to replace it. took make 50 shots with it and handed it to his wife and picked his old camera back up again just because he liked the shots better.

I don't blame him. sadly there isn't much control on it, there is an Automatic mode, a Program mode, and some simple video capture. But the manual mode is only ISO adjustment (minimal at best) and a slight bit of + or - EV

very simple. but effective i guess.

I was thinking about picking him up a used 6megapixel Nikon DSLR i saw a few weeks back, but i'm not sure he'd appreciate it.

Hell yeah. My old 2001-ish A80 @ ISO800 takes pictures better than my 2006-ish S3 IS does @ ISO400. The latter camera sucks in the low light/dark. If it wasn't for the optical zoom, I'd chuck it.

More sweet bokeh.

Not sure I did the "100% crop" right, but here is a crop of a picture I snapped quickly while walking around the San Diego Zoo. Just happened to look down, saw the cool flowers and tripped the shutter before running to catch up with the family. Not sure what kind they are, but I like them....

Scott that is a sick shot...no wonder you stopped to take that photo...Looks like something out of "Avatar". On a side note I have been wondering for a while now what 100% crop meant so I finally looked it up today: Basically just means cropping a section of the original image without resizing the original image. I learn something new everday. My photographic lesson of the day!

Don't know why I love bokeh so much...I think it is such a cool aspect of a photograph. From drawing your attention to the subject to the way it appears in your photo as geometric circles....

M_Six · 04-16-2011, 05:19 PM

I like the full shot better, Scott. Makes for a cool crystal ball.

scollins · 04-16-2011, 07:02 PM

Holy shit M_Six, that looks freakin' awesome!! How did you do that?

Thanks. Photoshop CS5. I should whip up a tutorial. It's really pretty easy.

Thanks. I got a few good shots of some tropical flowers while on vacation. Flowers are so easy to shoot.
