Tell us about your camera and how you use it. What’s the one thing you like the most about your camera? Are you using a cameraphone? They are great for shooting when you come across an unexpected spectacular moment. Some of the excellent moments have been captured on cameraphones. Or are you using a DSLR?
If you are still making up your mind to buy one, you can check out the quick buying guide here. Tell us what you’d like to know more about your camera. We are coming up with some great posts for the camera owners so have your say before we start.
We have been covering a lot of basic and technical topics on the photography front in the last one month. We’d like to know you better and collect your suggestions. We want to make sure we know you and your camera so that the information is relevant, is usable and valuable. So what are you waiting for? Come on say something :)
I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3. I wish I really new how to use it better. I build scale models and use it to take pics of them and post them to web sites that I frequent. One of my most difficult to under stand is DOF in macro mode. Light is another big hurdle for me as I really dont know how to adjust for it and My pics are either too dark or washed out.
I have the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G3 Micro 4/3, with many lenses that I am playing with. I have the Panasonic 14-45 and the 45-200 as my basic lenses. One of the advantages of the m4/3 camera is you can use almost any manual lens with it. With m4/3 adapters I am using: Canon FD 50mm f1.8, 28mm f2.8, 35-70mm f3.5,100-300mm f5.6, Macro FL 50mm f3.5; Kalimar MC 50mm f1.7, Vivitar Series One 28-85mm f2.8-3.8 (PK Mount), and a favorite prime lens is my Vivitar 24mm f2.8 (Konica mount). I actually like the m4/3 Minolta and Konica mount adapters the best as they let you use the aperture control of the lens itself. The Canon FL/FD adapters have a movable “Open-Close” ring to adjust the aperture which just gets in the way sometimes. All of the lenses have different bokeh and color aspects. Since I started with a Minolta SRT101 in 1969, this has to be my favorite camera. Light, accurate, easy to use, great resolution, and most importantly it is FUN.
