In the old days if you made a bad shot with an SLR, you didn't know it was bad until you had the film developed, I know, i had plenty of those. Now, it is different, you can have a digital (mind you, if it is 4 Mg pixel or better) then the picture with be still quite good, maybe at a lower resolution but it will be clear. From what I have seen the higher the mega pixel the larger the picture. So for instance, my Kodak Easyshare CX7430 point and shoot was a 4 Mp camera, it took up 2408 x 1758 resolution, which was very good to me. It has since died and now lays in camera heaven. My Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD (FinePix S2600HD) is a 12.2 mega pixels which takes pictures up to 4000 x 3000 resolution. Which as you can tell is much higher than the old Kodak. All of the pictures you can see on the back of a camera, these have a digital screen, so if there is a bad shot there you just erase it and retake it. Unless it is a "once in a lifetime shot", where there are no second chances or wait lets rewind so I can take the picture over again scenarios.Those you have to be ready for and hopefully it luck is in your favor it comes out half decent.
And there are times where we are in sync with each other, so what I see is, what you see. This is not uncommon, this is more common that you can think.But every once in a while there is something that I see that no one else sees.

We as humans see different things to each other. What I see in the viewfinder of my camera, is my perception of the world. And this is what I try and capture. But sometimes what I want to see, is not always there so then I change something whether through affects on my camera or through affects in editing the picture afterwards. With digital this can be done fairly quickly. Not like in the old days with the old SLR type cameras. Those you had to develop your film after that is done then you got to edit, crop, enlarge or whatever you wanted to do after the film was developed. Today that is done after you transfer your pictures to your computer and then you can edit, crop, enhance the picture to your liking. This way much quicker and easier than the old method. Editing takes about the same amount of time as developing film, but this depends on what you are editing. And how many pictures you are doing. There are different forms of photography, landscape, urban (people in motion), wildlife, architecture, portrait, and the lists go on. Now a days it seems you can shoot at anytime during the day or night. Old style was early morning or late afternoon, and nighttime. Mid day was bad, so roughly between 10 am to 5 pm was the bad times. Or so I was told and that is the rules I followed. But now a days with digital it doesn't seem to matter when you go out and photographed a scene. Anytime is good with a digital, cause the camera automatically adjusts all the settings, so you never have a bad shot, except for exceptional or extreme shake.

I have been doing photography for 36 years (as a hobby), started with the Kodak Instamatic, Yashica TL-E 35mm SLR, Olympus OM-10 35mm SLR, Kodak CX7430 and now with the Fujifilm S2500HD digital. I have photographed nature, urban jungle and people. I have experience with darkroom, film development color/black & white, slides, printing, cropping. I do photo editing using the Gimp (Linux version Photoshop). I also do video editing with Kino, Openshot VE, Film Creation with PFS. I have redesigned a motorcycle club's logo for the "Motoriders Club del Peru". Which is used for the club's current patches/baseball caps, the websites and all their paraphernalia. (My photo experience is old school, my editing experience is modern day.)
Samples of my photography and video are also on DPReview and Youtube.
My photography experience is semi professional, you can see some of my work at:

The biggest thing is how well you can manipulate a photo, usually for the better. I have added 4 photos, I took one of them and have added some special effects to the others, this I took while I was visiting Machu Picchu, here in Peru.

I never realized how hard it would be to sell off old camera equipment. The digital market has taken leaps and bounds, but to sell a camera that takes film is very difficult specially now a days. I too use a digital, but still it does not compare to a analog 35mm SLR, the quality from this type of camera is top quality. But it is nice when you get to keep the old equipment case, no matter what it will always be better than the new stuff. Since this is a part of my history now, i can now photograph that with the digital.

Images, photographs, OM-10, Kodak camera

I find sometimes it is a bit tricky with a digital camera than with a normal SLR. Photographing people outside is simple but photographing people indoors under dark conditions can be tricky. The video feature is a breeze really, and the zoom feature on the video camera is simple. Even video-graphing under low light as I noticed doing fireworks is a breeze too, just point and record. The mode control is a matter of getting use to, I seem to rely allot on the manual control and also with the natural light setting.
I have photographed people, when I had my earlier cameras. Then moved into landscapes with some wildlife shots. Now with the Fujifilm I am testing everything all over again. The camera has a nice range, from 28mm to 504mm. The super zoom is something else and clear too, I am impressed. There are different modes on the camera I have been trying to test them all, but finding the right shot is not always right in front of your face. Here being digital, if you make a mistake you can always delete and try again. Allot easier than wasting film on a bad shot.
Seems that I can not get the Olympus SP600UZ. But I can get the Fujifilm S2500HD, which is very nice camera this one is 12.2MP with 18x Optical zoom. Well, it official, this Sunday I will be getting my new Fujifilm S2500HD. It will be a world of photography once more, capturing the world as I see it. Here in Lima, Peru it is quite different from BC, Canada where I moved down from. The coast is desert then to the east is the highlands and farther east is the jungle. Peru has three climate enviroments. I will try and capture as much as I can, so stay tuned as I post the results.
Well been researching the camera I am going to get. The replacement for my Kodak CX7430, is the Olympus SP-600UZ. This to me seems like a logical choice, besides it would follow my second SLR camera, then I have made the right choice. I like the quality in the Olympus cameras. Keep you posted.
Well, my Kodak camera, i think finally is dying. Everytime I put brand new batteries in the camera about 2 minutes later it tells me they are dead. Even brand new alkaline batteries that I just purchased, I even test them and they are still good. But for some reason the Kodak camera says they are dead. I even have the same problem with rechargable batteries. Oh well, now shopping for a new digital SLR, that is affordable.
Looks like I might have to change or get a new digital camera, seems my Kodak is starting to act a little odd, maybe this time around I get a good digital slr. Keep you posted.
This is a collection of my photographic images through my Olympus OM-10 SLR camera, my digital Kodak CX7430, and my cell phone Sagem my401L.
There is a collection of the photographs I took when I worked for BC parks back in 1995. These are the dreamy look to it. Most of these were taken outside. Also there are photographs of the computer shop I had for 10 years, there are lots of photos there, most were taken with my Kodak camera. This is a digital point and shoot. And also photos from my Sagem my401L cell phone.
The pictures that have the dreamy look to it were taken with my Olympus OM-10 SLR with the 50mm Zuiko lense using varies filers including the Tiffen Sky-1A, Polarizer. The Kenko filters, Snow Cross, Center Focus, Cross Screen. Also used is the Tamron 60-300mm Macro using filters from Tiffen Haze-1, Polarizer. The flash is a Achiever 260, and the tripod is Soligor.
My Kodak camera is CX7430, digital 35mm point and shoot.
I also have create my own graphics, I have a special software I use for that. I will post my pictures of those here too. If you want some custom graphics made let me know.
The hard part is finding my photos and uploading back to the server. I don't want to add in my motorcycle pictures, that is for my other blog. Yes I have 2 here with Opera and a couple more with other sites.
Now there are some people that take great pictures and the are other people that make great models. I did photograph women in the past. Actually I like to doing that. Doing landscapes photography is really cool and you can get creative. I have been doing photography ever since I was 12 years old. I currently own 3 SLR cameras, 2 that are digital. For me photography is a hobby which I enjoy very much. Photographing people can be challenging, some people are very good photographing people, others are really good photographing nature, with wildlife, sports or fast action, landscapes.
My cameras include a Yashica TL-E 35mm manual SLR, my Olympus OM-10 35mm SLR and another 35mm camera (This one is more a collectors camera).
It would be nice doing photography with a digital SLR camera. Mind you nothing so far beats my Olympus OM-10, not even my Kodak. Would really like to get a Olympus E420, but that is on my list, I will get it one day.
I guess, the best is to tell you about my past. I have been photographing since I was 12 years old. My father also still enjoys photography to this day as a hobby. I do it, my father and my sister. I am sure my mother probably would also enjoy it. Over the years I have bought a few different cameras. My first SLR was the Yashica TL-E, which I still have today. I also have my Olympus OM-10, which I also still have and use. My Kodak Easyshare CX7430 I gave to my wife, and new new Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD Digital camera. I plan to keep photographing until the end.
Both my Olympus and Yashica have speciality filters that I bought for the cameras, to add specially effects to the photos. Unfortunately my new Fujifilm does not have threads on the lens to mount filters, so I will have to find another way on adding effects to my photos.
