comanche 2,799 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just entered the modern World with a digital camera and been playing. This was taken on the" mackerel "setting but hand held so is'nt maybe as sharp as it might be.All the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right I'm a bit of a Milman on the computer but this should be a picture of the tree itself. Edited March 25, 2008 by comanche Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Oh jesus! That Is amazing! Handy ye got close enough to spot that one in the first place. Not something one really goes looking for, is it? Now; What camera ye using, mate? Only I have my (second) beloved and trusty little Sony DSC-T3 surgically attached to my belt. That has Macro. But it also has Magnify. I like to shoot moths with it, amongst other fidgety subjects. And I've long since completely abandoned the Macro setting I actually bought it for and now shoot simply by tweaking the Mag. I guess what I'm really asking then is; Have ye got Mag on that one and, if so, have ye tried it in comparison to Mac? Just chuck a fiver down and try getting the best shots of that. Keep ye harmlessly occupied for a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two macro settings. Don't know about mag.I only bought it Saturday.I'll read the book .Really good manual-all in English ,one function per page. Had'nt realised how far cameras had come.I'd been clinging to my old K1000 thinking that these little pocket digital devices were little more than the old "instamatics". Thanks for the fiver tip .Guess what I'll be doing later?. Also as I said to Kay thanks for the encouraging words. Edited March 26, 2008 by comanche Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a relativly normal chap(Ok normal in my own mind) approaching the big 5O and I really had -as I focused the camera- an image of Hieoronymus Bosch type gnomic figures at work with tiny adzes.There /s something quite "pagan " about it.

Well thats what i thought or would love to believe created something so beautifull That's settled then. Ancient wood spirits or stoned Vikings. Kay you are welcome to do what you like with the picture if you really want to make a card or something .Strange the enclosed picture was what i was after but it's boring compared with the one spotted by chance.Or maybe I was drawn to it by the gnomes?
