first

Have the NX30. I can see the upgrades to the camera over the NX20. Auto focus and over all speed seem better. The grip is better. The downside? It does not use the same battery as the NX20 - and the battery I got with the NX30 seems to be having issues. I charged it up, but it fluxes...

Hai there. I bought a used Pentax K-7 from Japan last month for 50 £ (auction win) and I had a few days to try it out (finally). But first, the reasons I bought a Pentax K-7: *Back in my early years of my photography journey I dreamt of owning Pentax K-7 when it was one of the best of the best...

Here are a few of my first photos taken with the 16mm f2.4 pancake lens on my NX10. The more I use this Samsung system, the more I am falling in love with it, so much so in fact, that I have just bought another Samsung camera off of E-Bay. It's a NX30 with another 18-55mm, which will hopefully...

OK, my experience with Apple goes to the watch, iPad and iPhone...but i have never, but for a brief foray into using a Mac for running a media display at church, used a macbook. I've always been a Windows or Linux user. My wife is flirting with giving up her aging Surface Pro for something...

Back when this was released, I honestly pondered this and the Fuji X10. I got the X10 because it was more compact, cheaper, and from all accounts had a better lens. All those things are true, still. But when I got a chance to get an inexpensive, near mint (and I mean that - I don't often use...

I have been somewhat struggling with the getting the family archive digitalised since I bought the Oly 60 mm Macro lens in 2016, with a few add-ons to get cracking on a task which has seen like a proper Sisyphus task. The family archives spans photos covering 110, 126, 35, 120 and Polaroid film...

Went to a small town just east of Columbus called Baltimore. This is in Ohio, not the more famous (or infamous - if you know, you know) one in Maryland. The hype on the sensor and the lens are justified, I would say. Handling, even, was pretty good. Auto focus is rather weird....was not...

Hello all! The Panasonic L1 4/3 DSLR has arrived!! It is, in actuality, in almost new condition! There are a few small scratches on the rear LCD and a little bit of dirst on the front. Other than that - it looks like the thing was hardly ever used! I still need to look into seeing about...

Using OM1 and Oly 60 macro with godox flash. Attempt a 6 pic stack. Many, Many, Many failure to stack. This as close as i got and then cut wings off. Been watching quite a few of Vids my Micael Widell since he shoots lot of OM gear. really need to work on my hand holding shots. Day...

I am really liking my K5, here are a few of my first photos with it. My wife and myself love visiting old churches and there are just so so so many in Wiltshire where I live and all over the UK.

Hey, New to the forum. I am looking for anyone that can help a guy with no photo experience trying to get his first metal photo produced. I have some photos from a disney trip that I'd like to get made to hang on a focal wall. I asked ArtBeatStudios what to do with two picture files I...

A little back story. Went to the local camera store on Saturday. I had some trade and I was looking at some of the old stuff...again...tinkering with Pentax, I thought to be a good idea. They had an *ist D and a K10D. Decided on the K10D and they had a 17-70/4 SDM. Hear good things about it...

Post your first Flickr* photo! Here's mine: June 17th, 2006, a stitched panoramic taken with a Nikon D70 New York Scooter Club @ the Brass Monkey Bar by John Flores, on Flickr * or other photo sharing website

Heuou. On Thursday I had my first Infrared Red converted camera delivered, a Panasonic G2 converted to IR 590nm on the sensor stack. I always wanted to try IR both colour and black and white. I went with this one just because it was 50 £ though it's far from being ideal: 12 MP old sensor (but...

I have had the Sony A7 for a bit longer than a week, but only had a couple of old manual lenses to try on it, and frankly the results were not great. I traded in my remaining Fuji kit and picked up three lenses plus a converter and they all turned up this afternoon - luckily on my afternoon off...

Yes, this is the OG G1X. I took it to a local history museum, which is a pretty difficult test for any camera. Dynamic range is extreme in some cases and the low contrast would give a challenge to it. Remember too, that this is my very first Canon camera - so I have A LOT to learn about the...

Picked up off eBay for a little bit of nothing! Thoughts... It feels well build. The plastic is there, but pretty solid except for some movement around the battery and card doors. It's a good size, not too big, or too small, great grip on it. Not a huge fan of where the rear command dial is...

This evening, 1 January 2024, I'm pondering what I'm going to be up to as well as the places I'm possibly and definitely going to be over the next year and thinking that for me and pretty much everyone else here, there's a huge volume of pictures coming up in the next 365 days. But what was the...

This was ordered from Japan and was originally estimated to be delivered on 1/2/2024. It arrived yesterday 12/29! Kudos to DHL for the early delivery. First Impression: This is solid and feels premium. The brass plates are awesome. The rubber grip is very nice as well. The menus are classic...

Here is one of my first images taken with my new Pentax KF...

Good Morning, A few shots of my schools' team for this season, with a mix of new freshmen and returning seniors. Trying out some new lenses purchased this year in the marginal lighting that their private training facility needs to update...:rolleyes: Regards, Edd

Overexposed it based on some reading I'd done. Seems to have been a mistake. There's not enough latitude and the hightlights are easily blown. Probably better to treat it like slide film rather than negative film in that regard. Still, here's some of what I got from roll one: Nikon F4...

30 days ago I had my first ever tattoo done, it finally healed up completely: I wanted to do it last year but I didn't know I had to make an appointment at least 3 months in advance (I was asking for an appointment 2 months before August for it and nobody had an opening). Then I had to wait...

The Panasonic GX85 arrived today. Here are my first impressions. It is the exact size that I wanted for a coat pocketable, minimalist camera. The weight in hand feels good. Makes the camera feel robust and durable. I like the off center EVF. While not the biggest or best - it is servicable...

Last month, before my 3 week time off work, I had the chance to go to Wales in a work related trip. Here are some of the pictures from the trip: The most futuristic high voltage line tower I have ever seen, somewhere outside Bristol, shot from the motorway. We passed an Amazon warehouse and...

I'm still in the experimentation phase as I just got this lens in the mail 2 days ago. plan on doing a full review of it eventually and posting on my site. Some snaps to test initial function. Right off the bat, I will say that it appears to need a bit more aggressive post processing in the...

Haro ... it's been almost a week with the OM-1 and even though I haven't gotten out much to make images because of the weather but also getting my first tattoo has kept me short on how long I use the camera in a day. These are first impressions and some thoughts in my head and putting them down...

So spent 3 hours shooting 18 holes of a local pro disc golf tournament. The Z8 was FANTASTIC as was the Z 70-180/2.8 I played around with almost all the AF-C options and can say that Nikon has done an excellent job with the implementation of the 3D tracking and people detection...

So just got this thing a few hours ago. I did get a chance to get out for an hour and give it a run through. Menus They are refined from what you'd expect from the Z lineup. It is easier to understand what is active and what is not. There are a lot of options for connectivity, so all that...

Literal first shot. With the Z 24-120mm, 100% crop.

It has been 14 years since I "met" my first ever real camera. Prior I was using an (ancient by today's standards and it can't even be called that anymore) smartphone, the Sony Ericsson P990i ... and within months I have learned that I love making images, I was starting to "see" images everywhere...

So I’m on lunch break today and decide a pseudo-Greek Gyro was my meal of choice. I head down to the nearby Arby’s, and I notice the guy in front of me in line has a camera over his shoulder. Being a photography enthusiast, I peer a bit closer to see it’s a digital Hasselblad. No wonder the guy...

It is no exaggeration to suggest that the decision to try Fujifilm's completely unique X-pro line was many years in the making. I recall the excitement when news of the original Fuji X100 broke, and I was surely smitten. The looks, the controls, the design philosophy apparent in that...

Back when I was 15 I really wanted to get one of those fancy slr cameras I'd been seeing in commercials and ditch the broken down Argus C3 I'd been using for the last 5 years. I saved all the money I could earn working construction for my dad at much less than minimum wage. After several...

Hello! I found a used first-gen OM-D EM-5 on MPB (my first M43 camera!). What's a good zoom lens in the 24-70mm FF-equivalent range? Not a pro so don't need anything too fancy. Thanks!

I took out my (new to me) used Pentax Q10 with the 5-15mm f 2.8-4.5 and 15-45mm f 2.8 lenses, no goal specifically outside of trying to see what kind of images it can make and the user experience. Little wet duckies, light rain made things a bit more annoying so I stuck with the 15-45mm lens...

CURSE YOU @gryphon1911!!! The Maxxum 7D thread was more than I could stand. I kept an eye out for one but found nothing local and was reluctant to order one from eBay. Checked KEH every day, and a few days ago there it was! A Konica-Minolta Maxxum 5D. Same 6MP CCD sensor, same anti-shake, a...

Got out and played with the 135mm today. Weakest at f/2.8, depending on the light can be a little bloomy/hazy wide open, Nothing that modern post processing software cannot handle! Very fast AF even on the Maxxum 7D. Surprisingly good for it's age. Processed from RAW in Lightroom and...

This is a thread for your first shot of 2023. Here's mine.

Disclaimer first: I had this camera with me for less than a week and I only got to use it 3 times thus far (bad weather, overworking and illness have kept me from using it). Also, this comes from using a Sony a7R Mark II for the last 9 months and past experience with Sony a7C for about 6 months...

Got this dandy for $50 and thought what do I have to lose. The weather has been typical Ohio winter trash, so not really getting the optimal out of this lens and Minolta Maxxum 7D on this occasion. Will try and get it out during a day where we have some actual sunlight. It did not do...

Also known everywhere else on the planet outside the USA as the Dynax 7D. Had posed the question about getting this in another thread. Decided to snag it, since it was still at the camera shop when I returned...

Hello. So this Friday I shot a friend's wedding, it was a very short event with only 8 and 1/2 people (their 2-year-old daughter was with them) at the local registry. There was no church or main event. Unfortunately, the couple was giving me low expectations and organization on what they wanted...

I am so excited that my hands won't stop shaking for a couple of hours (though they do that when I have low glycemia or high amounts of anxiety). I just received from MPB, in Like New condition, the Samyang AF 35mm f 1.8 and the Tokina atx-m 85mm f 1.8 FE. Please don't take this as an...

*** I changed the title to remove JPG - now have some sample images from RAW *** Only lens that I have that works with it is the Nikon 28-70/3.5-4.5D Not bad for OOC JPG with a little Lightroom processing (basic adjustments and sharpening). So far, love the feel of the camera body and the...

My first month with the Tamron 150-500mm f 5-6.7 Di III VXD VC in Sony FE mount (in case Tamron decides to bring it in other mounts in the future) was very intriguing. After some intense internal debate, this lens won the fight between Tamron 70-300mm f 4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (for budget reasons)...

Some of you may have seen the snow photos I posted recently. Those photos were taken with a digital camera. That day, I also took a roll of film with my Xpan. A couple of months ago, I also took some photos with my Xpan, colour C41 roll, at a park. I decided to send those two rolls of Xpan...

First visit and post on the Cameraderie forums…a6600 w/24-240

I was over-saturating, over-sharpening, over-everything in Lightroom. https://www.couriermail.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/melbourne-barbie-doll-turns-heads-in-ridiculously-tiny-dress/news-story/ad665f9abb219f3e3ebc9a33d98aaab3
