Re: Tooting Lido



dbc, I absolutely love everything about those, including your titles.I have a soft spot for the dog pics though, especially the first one....should be your personal mascot, methinks. [75]</P>

Too Proud To Beg



I think I'd like my mascot to be a bit more assertive</p>

Re: Too Proud To Beg

that's nice too, but the puss on that first one is just so perfect for your grouchier moods....[74]

Re: Too Proud To Beg

love the first one too. [74] great photos from everyone. really nice to see what is observed through another's eyes in this informal arrangement.

Re: Too Proud To Beg



Here you go, Kira. It reminded me of the novel Perfume - Zuskind describes how the perfumer's house was built on the bridge. Off topic - never seen a good book result in such a terrible movie.</p>

It shames me to admit this, but after having a really flossy Canon (I forget the exact model) stolen from me in barcelona six years ago, I've been using a hand-me-down from my mom Canon Powershot S30 (3.1 megapixel I think) from about that vintage...[:$]</p>

Maybe if I could stop spending money on SZ clothing, I could spring for something nicer...</p>

no shit. i've always thought megapixels are a joke. they keep uping them to 12 now on most prosumer cam, and i read an article that at 8 the difference becomes negligble, its just a selling point. i wonder how these look big.</p>

Its sort of hit or miss whether a photo from my camera will suffer being made into an 8x10...some definitely still look great, but others, not at all. Past that size though, not a chance...</p>

</p>

I think i may have to start utilizing the RSG and save up for a decent camera with different lens options...especially given the job prospects for an econ masters these days...</p>

Anyone care to recommend a solid camera to shoot for (in the $1-1.5k range)?

read about the same thing. things are only be discernible to the human eye to a certain point, beyond that it then does become negligible. but maybe the difference would become more apparent when blown up? never compared.

here's something that i do that works quite well. blow up your photo to 8x10 size. then have a new 8x10 negative made of it. then you are ballin' and you can ball your way up to 6x8ft and it looks nice.
</p>

the old digi camera are more forgiving and less digital than today, that perhaps is why your photos look very nice. </p>
