Panhandle Days 2

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 3 August 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Floating a boat? Going fishing? Get you some corks first... heh. Taken at a really cool marine salvage shop in Apalachicola, this bundle of old fishing net corks just invites the camera to snap it up.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.

A remarkable fill-the-frame composition enhanced by the shapes and texture of the material.

This is good stuff! I like it. You captured it well. I think it is very well lit - did you use a flash on this one?

How do you like your Nikon D50? I am looking into getting a serious camera and I am leaning the Nikon way. Do you have any advice you would be willing to give?

4 Aug 2007 3:22am

@Michael Keith: Thanks; this particular cork pile was outside, so no flash. It was late in the afternoon.

I love my Nikon D50. You can't go wrong with a Nikon -- but D50 and D70s are already replaced by D40 and D80s, with the higher m'pixel count. A lot of folks love Canon, and they take some great shots with them, so you'd do well with one of those as well. But as for me, I stick with the flagship brand of camera -- Nikon and highly recommend you look into either the D40 or D80. D50 is great if you can find one, but it's 6.1 megapixels versus 10.1 with the D80.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

Nice one. I bet this place is full of good shots.

Michael --I've got a D80 and I love it. The D50 looks like it does pretty good photos, but I really find the extra 4MB with the D80 very useful. I was approached while taking pics the other day by a guy who said he has a D200 and doesn't think it's any better than his son's D80. Still, I'd probably get a D200 if I could afford it, with the VR lens. The D200 has an aluminum frame and watertight seals, and a higher fps rate.

@Twelvebit: Thanks, yes it is a great place to get shots of the out of the ordinary. And thanks too for the insights into other levels of Nikon. My son has a D80 and apart from the megapixels, I don't see much difference between his and my D50. You can still do an awful lot with 6.1 megapixels.

Michael from Wuppertal, Germany

Well done!
