New Camera
- June 28th, 2009.
With my sisters wedding being only weeks away I have been busy very with my camera.
At the moment I have a FujiFilm FinePix S9500. The great thing about my existing camera is the Macro feature and the fact that it picks up so much vibrancy. The negative is the lens; it is not detachable. The camera itself is amazing and I have learned a great deal but now I am ready to progress to a whole new level. The next stage for me is learning how having a certain lens can effect a subject be it landscape or portrait etc. With that in mind, to google I go, for some camera research!
Although in the past months photography has been my main subject, I have been creating some graphic work which I hope to share soon.
With the knowledge I have gained from my colleagues at nicepond, I have revisited images taken some months ago and done a bit of retouching! The world of photography is like design - it is immense!
You can hold a camera and press a button, but does that make you a photographer? From my experience I would have to say no, not unless you have studied your subject and made some technical & creative choices. It is a skill much like graphic design.

I’m starting to get into film photography, and have also recently decided that I need to start educating myself about lenses. Let me know if you find any good sites… good luck!

I will certainly keep you posted - I have learned a great deal about photography through colleagues at work - but I think it is mainly just finding your feet technically that tends to hold things back. Lenses are a new technical bit i’m going to have to get my head around - so as I learn I’ll post…Thank you, Good Luck to you too! What is your website?

Do you do double exposure or is it photoshop magic? Your shots are very very intriguing! Lovely tones and compositions!

Thanks! It’s a double exposure… All of my film shots are straight from developing, no photoshop. I love the messyness of it all
