I also wish i had a proper camera, hadnt forgotten it i just dont have one lol


....You say that but you have recognised the atmosphere and captured it. Okay, with a higher spec camera you probably would have got more out of the image but hey I've enjoyed it and it's very far from rubbish - Thanks for sharing.  :happy2:

Thanks Red Robin  :happy2:

I had a Pentax Optio M20 for a couple of years (£100ish ) which would take some surprisingly good shots for its price.
I dropped and smashed it recently, so replaced it with a similar spec Olympus which doesnt even come close to the quality of shots.

Your right tho its still just as rewarding capturing a good photo no-matter the quality of the camera :drinking:

I've had a Canon powershot for about 2 years, an ace digital camera, but not sure whether to go the whole hog for a DSLR just yet... :P

^ Shot on my new FinePix F500EXR compact, hand held.

It's a bit grainy etc but I'm still very pleased with it. I fine tuned the shadows with Aperture (Apple's editor).

...."Your Best Atmospheric Shots" being the thread topic  :happy2:

If I had a DSLR I doubt very much if I would have had it with me and been able to grab that moonscape shot  :P.

It's interesting what the DSLR vs Compact compromises are: Obviously the superior technical quality of the DSLR but I am more of an artist than a technician. Different horses for different courses. As you already know, I greatly admire your skills and your high technical quality approach. If I had your camera gear I'd doubtless seek more technical perfection but I enjoy what I achieve.

My comment was made because I know your thoughts re: dslr/compact, and it was a little bit tongue in cheek because in terms of 'vibe' your photo is great. A DSLR can't help you with feel and vibe, Just like £5k microphone can't make you sound like Stevie Wonder.

I'm guessing an iphone 4, even with basic kit you can take a good picture Rich  :drinking:
