I had a point-and-shoot for a long time, too, but that was a Hewlett-Packard. Got some quite nice photos with that - and now the compact cameras are usually quite good.

It was a year ago that I got myself my Canon EOS 400D. It was going to the next level, and it was worth it

I still have a lot to learn about how to use it, though..

Empress_Flynn · 09-15-2008, 09:55 AM

The Nikon Coolpix L3... yup... pretty sure that's the one I have lol...

And yes, I probably got it in 2006... or maybe it was 2005.... the years all blend together.

For the most part I've been very pleased with it's performance. It's so wonderfully simple to use that even a slightly technologically challenged person such as myself can easy handle it... it's just when I get those darn blurred pictures or the horrible dusk ones that I get frustrated.

Oh, and I named the camera Desmond, so I can have someone to yell at if the pictures come out badly

That being said... here are a few more from my collection:

**Mari** · 09-15-2008, 10:37 AM

Oooh! That last one makes me think of the Shire ^_^
It's a theme-pic

Empress_Flynn · 09-15-2008, 10:40 AM

Haha yeah I know! I keep thinking of the Shire when I take countryside pictures here

Grey_Wolf · 09-15-2008, 11:03 AM

Very nice pics again, EF!

Nerdanel · 09-19-2008, 10:25 AM

I sort of have a feeling I posted these photos of Aino before, but I'm not sure.. So here we go again.

Aino outside the Orthodox Cathedral in Helsinki (the Uspenski cathedral)

Amira..

Solanum tuberosum - you know what flower that is?

Grey_Wolf · 09-20-2008, 02:51 AM

Even if u have, my friend, theyre just as nice now.

Nerdanel · 09-20-2008, 05:42 AM

Thanks, GW.

Empress_Flynn · 09-22-2008, 08:11 AM

Great pics, Nerd!

Sorry I haven't been posting recently... just had a rather annoying illness that left me devoid of all will and strength to go on my computer.

Finally feeling better and I'll be going on a walk with the fiance and his parents today, and I'll be bringing the camera... so expect more soon!

Coffeehouse · 09-29-2008, 07:02 PM

Okay here are some:

Btw Jonathan, from what you said in the Entmoot Pic Links thread, those islands are in Sweden, but the picture was taken in Norway. Actually the sailboat was about right on the borderline at sea between our countries

So good hunch and a nice guess!

Grey_Wolf · 09-30-2008, 03:53 PM

Very nice shots, CH!

Nerdanel · 09-30-2008, 05:03 PM

Nice photos, CH

Mk, here are some from me.. I might've mentioned that I got a 50 mm lens and zoom lenses for my birthday: so I was playing around to see how it all works..

Same as above..

**Mari** · 09-30-2008, 05:07 PM

Hehe, just found a new background for my desktop. Nerdy, you are my main provider

Nerdanel · 09-30-2008, 05:16 PM

Hehe, glad to help!

Btw, Mari, did I ever post any of those firework photos I was babbling about at one point? I could also go check, but I thought you might remember.. X)

They look like potato flowers (or if not, then a close relative)

Really beautiful when you see them in a close-up.

Yay!

Correct answer. Potato flowers are very beautiful, indeed.

That's cool! Then I might have passed by those very islands this summer on the ferry between Sandefjord and Strömstad. When did you take the pictures?

Here is a photo of mine from Sandefjord, Norway.

**Mari** · 09-30-2008, 05:59 PM

Nerdanel, no you didn't! *puppy eyes* Pretty please?

Empress_Flynn · 09-30-2008, 06:14 PM

I have been absent from this thread for too long... here are a few I took this past weekend...

Nerdanel · 10-03-2008, 05:43 PM

Ok Mari, here we go

.. and a lot more not-so-high-quality photos here!
