Yes I am a little slow but here we go on a new month
Please join us and share your pictures and have some fun.
We welcome all levels of photography skills. If you are knowledgeable in Photography please join us and share your knowledge.
If you have any questions about camera, there sittings are about pictures, you can ask here or start a new thread.
If we can not answer your question we will research until we find the answer.
I have been thinking about the contest, I think a month is good. But I think we should allow one picture a week from each person, specially in the beginning.
We will have a lot of different subjects. And we will take suggestions.
So everyone post all the subjects that you can think of.
Also on the same vein-I think I will try again to do a thread of camera settings. So please also post the setting of your cameras, each camera is different. If they are not letters but pictures, say what they look like.
Name: Kelli California, USDA 10, Sunset 19 Where summer is winter
Holy Toledo, my camera has so many settings, I don't know where to start. I just use auto, but I think just about everything can be tweaked manually. I'll look into that later today.
As for the judging, I think have just a couple judges is better than having everyone vote. Everyone voting is just a popularity contest. Whoever has the most friends wins.
Some subject suggestions: houses, barns and sheds, fences and gates, ruins/abandoned places, fruit, seedpods, water, cars/trucks/tractors, machinery/industrial, people at work, people sleeping, people at play, antique stuff, flower arrangements, flower gardens, wildflowers, individual flowers, buds, leaves, stems/bark, roots, vegetables, livestock, pets, wild animals/birds, butterflies and moths, bees, other insects/invertebrates, boats, ocean scenery, ocean detail, freshwater scenery, freshwater detail, rocks, food, abstract macros, sunrise/sunset, night, snow, clouds, rain/storms
When you get the contest started, I can tweet to my ~45 followers. It's not much, but you might get someone who otherwise is unaware of Cubits.
Charleen I answered you c-mail and you have some great settings on our camera
Kelli I agree about the judges. Thanks for the subject suggestions, I have copied them down. Let me know what the settings are on your camera and I will try to let you know what they mean.
Let's all get the most out of our cameras we are never to old to learn new stuff.
Charleen I think you will be happy with what you can find. I posted some more into on the c-mail for you
Doris you can still take great pictures on Auto-just learn what makes a great picture. A good place to look is the National Geographic society web site. Look at the picture in there galleries. Just know that there photographers take thousands of pictures to just get the few that are good enough for NGS.
Zany these are old tricks I learned them way back in the late 70's. Most of what worked on the old cameras works on the newer ones, only in a slightly easier way
