Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 10 September 2007 in Art & Design and Portfolio.
Ok (cue drum roll...), here is the first shot I'm posting from my new D80. Went to the Bradenton Art District Saturday morning, and these banners were flying outside one of the shops. Was more worried about the general capture than the total composition, so a piece from one of the poles was cut off from view. Darn!
Even with that little glitch in this one shot, I am feeling pretty good about the "feel" of my D80 -- so far. Now I just need to go out and do lots more shots to build up an image bank.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.
Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.
What we have right now are daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.

@Mandy: Thank you Mandy. I'm pretty excited about the results. Far as I can tell from what I know of my settings so far, this is "normal" in the color dept. The Art District this was taken in is a very colorful/Caribbean-Florida look kind of area, where the very vivid is the norm, splashed all over the place, like this photo depicts.
Oh, and what may have caused the colors of these banners appear to be so extra-glowing is they were back-lit by the sun.
BTW, your son Ethan has taken a really good portrait of you and your son and your friend and her child today. I don't blame you for being proud of his work.
wow, a colourful opening for sure!this is brilliant!I love the vivid colours!thanks VF for coming by and saying such encouraging words,i really appreciate it!:)

@vasa: Thanks so much. I love the shot at your place today.
Well, the new camera seems to be working very well! I love my D70 - probably pretty much the same camera. Anyway, here you've got great color, DOF, composition - and most importantly, a sense of humor :) Shoot away!
10 Sep 2007 4:28pm
@Ken McCoy: Thank you my friend. I'm sure the biggest difference is in the pixel count. And Ken, speaking for me, if we can't laugh at ourselves and our lives, we're in trouble. Glad you appreciate my humor here.
Beautiful colors! May your new D80 bring you much joy and capture much beauty! Go VF, GO!
