good photo shot, but somehow I’m not interested in this figurine (I think she doesn’t look exactly like saber..)

and I love etna and prinnies (and hanako from disgaea 2!!)

very nice shots.
however, how would this be compared to the clayz’s version?

I just meant that many point and shoot cameras have the tools you’d use on a dSLR, such as controlling the apeture size. By controlling the apeture, you can control the depth of the field of focus, a large apeture of 3.5 gives you shallow focus, while something smaller like f11 tends to have a deeper field of focus. The eye naturally latches onto those parts of a picture that are in focus, so controlling the field of focus becomes a very strong composition tool.

You can do this with a point and shoot. Maybe not to the same extent as a dSLR with a proper macro lens, but point and shoots give people a surprising amount of creative flexibility, more than many suspect, which is really all I’m trying to say. A dSLR rocks, but many point and shoots are pretty good too (and on some occaisions, better).

Thx super rats but I didn’t quite get that aperture thing you mentioned. And yes I use my camera in manual mode using almost always 100 exposer (iso), macro-mode and natural light mode for outside pictures.

Belela-san, one of the best image quality upgrades you can make is a tripod, even a mini-one. I don’t always use one myself, because I like the flexibility of hand holding the camera, but when I want them sharp — tripod. I’ve been using them more lately. In some ways leaving the camera on the tripod has some clear creative advantages in addition to the image quality boost. I’ve seen your pictures and I think the image quality is fine. If your camera allows you to manually select the aperture you might be able to extend the camera’s usefulness until you get enough saved for your dream camera.

AS, I think I got it at HobbySearch. It’s a cute figure, but it’s not the cleanest (scratches, seams, etc.).

Great looking pictures. Where did you get that Win-chan from? I sooo want one.

Nice pictures as always, that camera is really something, need to invest some money into one of those things, kinda looking at a cannon eos 400d

Very creative photos there. Lately I’ve been too lazy to take photos plus with an oncoming Winter approaching, there aren’t many clear sky days.
