My first go....

[ryan]

Today was the first go at taking some action shots with my new samsung gx-1l. I took hundreds of pictures and only a few where hardly any good. Full credit to jimmy and stu as i didnt realise how hard it was to capture such a great shot like they do. The hall was abit dark at tivvy indoors near impossible towards the end. Have attached some of the good "ish" ones lol.

Look good mate - the one of bloomers at speed is nice. Indoors at Tiv the best place is in those spots of sun, you can get some really nice dramatic shots there.

[k£v!n]

nice, shots mate!, the quality of the image is great

[telboy]

Nice shots. Good colour too.

I think I bought the wrong camera!

[BenG]

Wow, those are very nice.

I agree, I have to take around 200 images to get about 30 good ones, that aren't blurred, badly composed e.t.c

Bit on the small size, but quality is impressive

Nicely done mate

[telboy]

I think its the same with everyoune realy. Thats why digi cameras are so good. I use to get through around 10 rolls of film when i had a 'normal' camera. but now with the digi's you can check the images as they're taken.

I take around 450-500 shots when I take my camera to meetings and probably get around 50 shots that I like, and only around 25 that are decent.
with the screen being so small though, I find that some shots look pretty good on the small screens but when you get it on the comp' it's blurred as hell .

What is the viewfinder on the nikon d70 like? in my fuji its just another tiny monitor inside the camera?! so it's crap to get things in focus manually because the deffenition isn't there at all. I prefer the 'real' viewfinder to be able to get things in focus properly.

The d70 is purely looking through the lens - no little lcd screen business apart from the info around the side of course (settings etc)

Which reminds me, my d70 has gotta go on ebay - dragging my feet!

[ryan]

Thats what my gx-l1 is like, i find it really easy to manualy focus and fast. When looking at the pic on the tiny screen looks awesome but when it gets on the comp its all blurred lol

Jimmy- Why do you think most of my pics came out blurry would any setting i could change help or is it just me lol

Ryan

[jimmy]

email me a pic mate so I can see the settings in the exif (so not one you have messed about with and saved out from photoshop etc.)

If you are talking about indoors - then thats good old indoors for you! photography is about capturing light, the more light the better - so indoors you are battling all the way.
I don't enjoy taking photos indoors - partly why I starting doing reviews, so I would have an excuse to take photos during winter.

That said, you can still get decent shots indoors, just takes a bit more practice and setting up your camera for the conditions.

[ryan]

Whats ur email?

[telboy]

Hey jimmy how much you selling it for?

[jimmy]

as much as possible! lol
I duno - I need to pay off another cam it doesn't include a lens however since I am keeping it.

[telboy]

ooh, jimmy. did you get my order for some of your stickies? only i've not had any reply.
If not can you take 3x sheets of your oOple stickers if you are going to teesside? If you're not going then, obviously, don't.

Sorry I've gone off topic.



...........come to think of it, I may have just e-mailed you.
