PAW -- Picture A Week -- Have fun!

[Darin Marcus]

^^ Sometimes old cameras aren't bad at all, fun shot Darin :thumbup:

Thank you!
Yes, they were already good enough
Back then I used to go quite often to the Zoo, trying to capture the animals in funny/interesting poses.

Here's one from my first DSLR, bought in Januari 2006

Nice photo.
I also got my first DSLR in 2006 - a Nikon D40.

Thanks, I also looked at that one as well as several others (Canon Rebel, Olympus E300) but finally decided for the KM5D since my father had a KM7D so we could exchange lenses. 2 days after I bought it KonicaMinolta announced the sale to Sony which brought a watershed of cheap second hand lenses to the market, since a lot of people didn't have faith in Sony doing a good job developing new A-mount cameras. I still have the camera and sometimes even use it, AF is quite "pedestrian" but the CCD sensor can still hold it's own, even at "only" 6MP.

Here's another shot from the same helicopter ride in 2009

Personally, I think it looks more like a caterpillar, but then I'm not an artist ...

In the Piazza Dante steps are taken to deter the smaller sensor image makers, but I out-gunned them with my 1 inch sharpshooter.

A Peachy View

The peachy view by Felix LeClair, on Flickr

Made using my walk everywhere camera, the x100s. the original processed file made a beautiful 4' print! Doesn't look right on the screen (the shadows just lose all of their life at this low resolution + small scale)
