Gonna 'ave me a picture thread (type thingy)

[Albedo]

Thanks for the link CS, dropped the Mr:001_smile:

 

I'm also now looking at 'Alamy' who seem to be a bit more aimed at the amateur and easier to get into, but will do what I always do and spend ages researching it before I do anything.

I've just bought a new camera. It's a Panasonic LX3, the slightly older version of the LX5.

 

I'm finding the macro on it is astounding..

 

 

plus the image stabilisation. That one above was hand held; on any other camera I've owned, I wouldn't be able to hold it steady enough.

Nice work, guys.

 

Mind if i pop in?

 

These were shot last spring...

Hi Quickthorn. nice to have such an old and hallowed member as yourself in me thread.

 

Its a whole new world innit, the macro on these wee beasties. And interesting that the LX3 has the same abbilities as my beloved LX5.

 

I love the hibernating ladybird, if thats what its doing, so nice shot too:thumbup1:

 

 

While I'm here I haven't forgotten the 10 quid fine for my faus pas in the other thread, I got away lightly, and appreciated the efforts of Andy, Laurie, Mick and some others to knock my pounding on the head and lesten my pain. Cheers boys it was appreciated.

 

 

Also rbtree, thanks for posting and loving your work too

 

And finally here's a pick while I'm here:001_smile: Orca my Spanish cat on a winter walk round the garden

Yes, I think they're about the same, but yours has got a bit more optical zoom, which is always handy. Such a fast lens, you hardly need flash, even indoors.

 

Those are some nice shots, rb. I like the water drops hanging off some of them.
