Moon shot - II

My second moon shot. This is on a full moon night.Still blurry images :( .

First moon shot

My first moon shot. Mind you this was taken on a pretty damp night and holding the camera in my hands.

Shutter Bug

Hmmn .... I got this new digicam and suddenly i am seeing things now differently. For example, my mom gave me plate full of boiled corn and here i am clicking photos of it and experimenting with all the features of the camera till i got the perfect picture. You can see the end result in the picture to the left.

When i was finished with the photo session finally, the corn was all cold and hard. Guess the shutter bug has bitten me. I am now spending my times going through various photography web sites/blogs for tips on better photography.




And another example. I see a couple of black ants on my table. My reaction on a normal day would have been to send them straight to hell with my iron fist. But now, i am finding myself scurrying for the cam to get a nice close up macro shot of them.(which i haven't mastered yet -- have to learn a lot). The ants which were initially frightened as i got the cam close, became calm after a while as they dint see any immediate danger coming from me. And so you see them cool and calm in the picture to your left

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50

Finally -- Got my Digital Camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50. This camera can be classified as a bridge camera, meaning its a bridge between the simple point and shoots and the Digital Single lens-reflex cameras (DSLRs). It exactly looks like a dSLR and for the matter even feels like a dSLR and makes you feel like a professional.


What mdae me go fot it?

• Impressive Leica lens. You would have to spend a couple of thousand dollars to get a lens of such quality otherwise.
• Manual zoom and focus rings.
• Excellent build quality.
• Easy handling
• Hot shoe
• Swivel LCD
• Good movie mode

You can have a look at the complete review of the camera here.

Haven't had much exposure with this cam. I will write more about this camera some time later after doing a test run of her.
