Kaphias Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I got a Nikon Coolpix S6000 for Christmas, which while not a DSLR, is still a large step forward from my old Olympus Camedia C-3020. So far I've only taken it out around the yard, so no long-range pictures... but I did discover a nice macro mode: Looking specifically for comments on composition, color, use of the rule of thirds, sharpness, and focus point... though of course anything else would be wonderful. :) 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 TBH it looks rather grainy and LQ, but that could be from Photobucket. In terms of composure, it would look better in my opinion of more of the flower was in focus, or the subject was more so on the orange centre. However, it's still a really cool pic, and the ice looks awesome. :thumbup: My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

Sam Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If there's a manual mode on the camera, use it. It's in OK shot but it's ruined by noise. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphias Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 TBH it looks rather grainy and LQ, but that could be from Photobucket. In terms of composure, it would look better in my opinion of more of the flower was in focus, or the subject was more so on the orange centre. However, it's still a really cool pic, and the ice looks awesome. :thumbup:Autofocus is a bit tricky on the camera, trying to get it to focus where you want it to. Regardless, the frost was where I wanted the focus, but I was also surprised by how blurry the bud was. Would this have anything to do with holding the camera father away from the subject and zooming in slightly compared to getting really close and using no zoom? If there's a manual mode on the camera, use it. It's in OK shot but it's ruined by noise.No manual mode. Decided to go for a cheaper ($150USD) camera and see if my photography hobby continues to develop, then go DSLR at a later point. Not in a situation to spend the kind of money I'd want to spend to do it right. Thanks guys, much appreciated as always. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those camera's, Optical zoom is basically just enlarging the picture, making it seem more noisy. Get right into the action and get up close.

Shiny Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ouchy, I think you mean digital zoom - Zoom done internally on the camera, which is essentially cropping the photo closer to the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
