Photo Challenge Rejects!

Yep, still the same camera. My dad just asked me the same thing, actually, and I told him I was still very happy with it. I don't get to take a lot of pics these days anyway, so I'm fine with what I have. That's not to say I wasn't drooling over some of the features on my dad's Sony DSLR, though. Auto pano in-camera, mad-high res, etc. Wow!

What would you upgrade to? I have *no* knowledge of the latest cameras, since I've been so out of the loop.







Edit: I have to go for a rest now, but I'll be back later. I keep wanting to stay here and reply to everything! No, Leish. Bad Leish!

Adios!
 
My friend has a Canon 60d and I am really impressed with the photos she takes with it, so I would probably go with that or the next generation. Canon seem to have way better support for their models too. I looked into getting more lenses for the Olympus but it is just too expensive and too much of a hassle over here to get.
 
Hmm. Looks like I'll have to reply to your email tomorrow. I've had a stonking headache all afternoon since I've been resting. Shows I need to take it easy more since my busy week. Ah well! Can't complain. I even got to make some posts here earlier. :)

So blimey. A Canon, eh? Those are definitely easier to buy lenses for (and cheaper, although the non-Olympus lenses are cheap enough). I can't say I've had to worry over the price of accessories for my Olympus, cos I don't buy any. I've enough with my two lenses that came with the camera all those years ago, and the macro one that Seph and his family bought me three or so years ago. :)

Have a look at Sony, too. There's some great features on them, and they bought out Minolta a long while back, which was a company I liked (and Sony didn't do a bad job with the cameras either). I don't know what lenses or prices they are, though.
 
I use a Sony ^ it's very good.

Struggling for a second photo but it won't be any of these:









All this is local, just from out walking the dog. Somerset's lovely but I'm trying to get a photo that's a bit more exciting than 'Field.'
 
Blimey, it's so... green. :eek:

Beautiful! I love rolling hillscapes. And you can always take nice shots of rolling hillscapes if you find something interesting for the foreground. A nice tree and the right lighting works wonders. :D Or a sign from the right angle. Or a lane, positioned just so...
 
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Something more interesting. All these were taken with my mobile phone so they're not fantastic quality either. I really want to get the view from Ham Hill - went there today but it was raining so the view was rubbish. I'm off to Cornwall next week, so might see what I can get there. I may have to settle for West Country rather than just Somerset. But we'll see!
 
Cornwall! I went there all the time as a kid (and Devon) - what a stunning place! I look forward to seeing your pics. Your dog one is already in my favs for this month.
 
I think that was everyone's (from the UK) childhood holiday! :D I'm lucky that I live so close. This is the second time this year to Kernow for me.

And thank you! Your photos are always stunning. I've just looked back through this whole thread and wow. Your 'rejects' are beautiful.

Gonna reject this'n too:



It's the Quantocks. Again, just dog walking. Nice wild ponies, but crappy camera phone again.
 
Thanks. It's all in the camera, really. ;)

As for the shot - wow! You can see for miles! :) And horses!!! I go NUTS for horses! What girl didn't dream of owning a horse, though? Alas, I've grown up to realise I'm just too clumsy for a horse. I can't even walk without tripping or walk through the flat without bruising myself on the doors and doorframes. Today I hit the microwave, the doorframe, and the door, and managed to make myself bleed. Hit the bruise I got the other day, too, which must be a rare probability. :D

Blimey! I do waffle. I've missed waffling in this place.

Anyway, you know, Seph has never been to Cornwall or Devon. His childhood must have been lacking. :D
 
We went sideways for holidays. Yarmouth in East Anglia or Barmouth in Wales. I didn't come to Devon until University (in fact even when I moved here I didn't know I was here, I thought Exeter was under London!)
 
I like horses too! Lots of my friends don't like them and I don't know why. :( I used to go horse riding when I was younger and yep, always wanted my own horse. Never got it though.

Seph's missing out! :D Though, I've never been to Scotland. :eek: (Need to fix that though! Scotland and Ireland are on my list).

Hoops, hang your head in shame!!
 
Hoopy, hi!!! Yes, hang your head, missy! Poor Exeter. :D

I think I visited most places in the south-west, though once I even went to London and Kent. I love Clovelly with a passion, and I have fond memories of Bude and buying mint rock... Oh! And Torbay - Torquay, Brixom, and Paignton! Somewhere down south was where I first ate sand, too. I do not recommend that. Oh! And I met a miscreant donkey there, too! The owner let the donkeys ride in a loop by themselves, and my donkey decided to run off... with me grinning like an idiot on its back! I kinda hoped I could run off into the sunset with it.

I miss the south coast. One day I'll get back there. So many lovely tat shops. And bags of shells! And dried, coloured starfish! Oh, I miss them all... :)
 
I'm staying near Bude and hoping to visit Clovelly. :) (I love the story of Crazy Kate).
 
Bude's nice! Some friends of ours went there to pull fake seals out the sea (some kind of course) and we went along for the trip. It snowed really heavily, it was great.

Heh, well I know where I am now. I'd just never really known Southern places before then!
 
Hmmm. No idea what Crazy Kate is. I typed "Crazy Kate Bude" into Google and it gave me hits about Kate Winslet and Kate Middleton, nude. :eek:

Fake seals, huh? That's... not what I could have predicted you were going to say, Hoops. :D I love seals. Weird little island-shaped mounds in the sea as their heads pop up out the water near the shore. Seen some off the coast up here...


Eep! Look at the time. I'm supposed to have switched my PC off for the night. Sigh. Well, it was nice talking to you both! Hope you have good nights. I'm off to read more of Branderson's Warbreaker, which is very cool and interesting.
