all out of cameras

Wed Nov 18, 2009, 5:37 PM
Alas, my love affair with a friend's borrowed Nikon D70 came to its inevitable end (much thanks again, Dave) a month after my fledgling attempts at creating photographs. That left me with a point-and-shoot Canon. It took not-so-bad pictures for what it was, so I thought that perhaps, with a little photo manipulation, something halfway decent might come out of it. The camera promptly, and somewhat mysteriously, went belly-up and refused to even power on. That left a very, very cheap point-and-shoot Nikon as my only photographic outlet. Just as suddenly and mysteriously, that camera began to behave as if it had a shuffle mode, randomly turning out sepia pics, or blurry long-exposure pics, intermingled with the very occasional normal photo. Is this a joke that the universe finds hilarious? Am I on Candid Camera?

I am so new that I'm still in the packaging. I uploaded my first deviations the day after my first beginners' photography class on May 5 '09. I welcome ANY and ALL advice, tips, and suggestions so that I can learn and improve! Right now,I'm just getting my sea legs, experimenting, and throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.

first hun ... most of my best pictures were with my small nikon digital camera .. that's where I earned my rep on dA .. .. the D70 and the d40 only came in the last couple of years

i can loan you my point and shoot nikon if it will help .. it's got a lot of bells and whistles ... it's pink if that helps
