Why anyone would think... well, I guess I better start at the beginning. Steve, from work, bought a new camera. He went several weeks asking me about cameras and what I would recommend. Finally, he bought what he wanted. It is a ..... hmmmm.... hode on a sec while I turn it over in me hands.... ok, he bought a Sony DSC-H7. I think that is correct. Me being a Nikon man and all. So Steve has had this camera for a few weeks. Yesterday he came up to me, shoved the camera and a bag of goodies (USB cable, charger, Sony specific remote) into my hands and said, "Jim, will you take my camera for a few days and put it through the paces?" Oh my... why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why would any human being on this planet think I know anything about photography? I am being honest here. If it weren’t for my "abouts" my pics are pretty standard and simplistic. What in the world made Steve think I could evaluate his new camera better than he could? I ain’t got the foggiest....... (for those of you unfamiliar with the 'foggiest' comment, it means, "I have no idea") So I have his Sony with me now. I have shot, hmmm...... 35 pics with it. I really don't know what to tell him. I am a Nikon man. Two days is not enough time to learn a new camera. I did some landscapes, some macros, some crazy stuff... but I do not know all the functions. I am shooting blind here. Anyway, back to this post. A shot from Steve's Sony of a curio cabinet MM owns and some mid-day light. If I find anything better than this I will post it tomorrow. And NOT to offend anyone who shoots this camera........ ........................................................ ..... he should have taken my advice and bought a Nikon. I'm just saying......
why wouldt you just buy a bloody Nikon.. what IS it with folks.. I'm glad thos things are in a cabinet man iamgine dusting that phewey... did I mention I am not fond of dusting.. but as I am a kept man tthese days it has become my lot.. well it always has been really what with L's back and such I dont like doing it but I like it when its done.. it was due yesterday but I only vacummned and then cooked dinner so it would be ready when she came home (spag bol) I do one MEAN spag bol so we could sit and watch our fave TV program called Grand Designs..its a pommy show about couples who are renovating or building flash houses.. last night they converted and old barge into a houseboat with found materials and scrounged up bits n pieces.. a floating disaster.. but anyway as I was saying yesterday was housecleaning day but I didnt get to it I spent about five hours searching for my Roger Scott photo titled "Greece 1974" I went through the plan cabinet twice then searched a few hidy holes in the house and finally at 3.30 I found it in the picture stack where all the framed pictured are.. finally.. so I simply had run out of time to do vac and wash the floor and do the dusting AND cook dinner in time so I have to finish off the house today and what am I doin? wasting time telling you all this kekeke
hmm I have an F70 an F90 an F100 and of course an FM2 as you must being a nikon man.. for those a 28-90 two 28-200's and a 70-210.. I dont use any of them now... well I lie I actually have the F100 loaded with Kodak B&W IR film at the moment for some nude shots coming up.. So I use the 5D which is a Canon mostly and the Kodak DCS Pro14n which I used on the pinhole shots which you didnt even bother to reply to me on, but then neither did Tosh (below or above as it will be) they are all good cameras but the photos always look soft on this site because of the gooey nature of america oh dont get me started on that old rant again.. mate hand it back and say it rocks but not as much as a Nikon would have..
Some flash freehand helds in low light may be good, it's got a 3200 i.s.o. I reckon that's gonna be big help for capturing family in nice soft lights at the barbie at dusk without freaking the situation with a flash. He may hardly ever need one. I see it's a 15x lens. Tell him my 50 mm supermulticoatedtakumar from 1970 is a 15000x.
