Just a shameless post to try out a new digital camera

I have an Olympus D340R which does pretty good. This picture below is taken with a new Kodak DC280. Seems to be quite a bit more versatile than the Olympus, although now quite a simple to use. What do ya think?

Good Pic Richard. It seems almost like the knife is floating above the surface of the table, or that the background was added around the knife.

Do you take your pics outside? I've found that the flash on my digi-cam just isn't strong enough to give good lighting inside.

Also, does the Kodak have different "fields of view"? (Close up, 10 ft away, etc.) I take my pics (which don't turn out quite as good as yours) on the highest resolution setting - for closeups.

Also, good choice of subject!

Hi, yes, I usually take my pics outside. I wait until morning or evening when the sun is still out but not directly overhead. I find that the lighting is very even that way, and works better than trying to use the flash for in door pictures. Your also right about the background, it was added later. I just take the knife pics on my porch and then find a background and add it later. Yes, the camera does have different modes for distance. Close up is for 2 - 18 inches...then you have normal modes with zoom for people and such....and then a mode for large area landscapes. Havent figured everything out yet with this one, just what I have found in the user manual.

I use a Panasonic PVSD4090. It's alot like a Sony Mavica, but it'll get over 1500 pictures per "Super Disk", 430+ on High Res (1.3 Mega Pixel)

Since we're showing off pictures:

Richard - you should've known better than to post pics in a thread. Anyone who knows me knows that I'll take over another thread with my own pics.

This one was done with my HP 5200 Series scanner. The background is a pic taken from the Hubble space telescope, and was added with Adobe PhotoDeluxe.

Click on the pic for a great hi-res image.

  • This amazing knife features all three classes of meteorite. This is serial #4 of 10 that Dan is making.
  • 2.5" Tim Zowada-forged san-mai blade with a O1 carbon steel core with 80 layers of Gibeon iron meteorite/O1 twist-pattern damascus on either side of the blade with an intermidiate layer of pure nickel.
  • Dovetailed Gibeon nickel-iron meteorite bolsters - acid etched to reveal the Widmanstatten pattern, which develops during the slow cooling of the iron core of a planetoid (asteroid).
  • Renfrow stony meteorite handles. This meteorite exhibits a black stone matrix flecked with bright nickel inclusions.
  • Full-length O1 carbon steel backspacer, fileworked inside and out, with filework and a Albin pallasite meteorite inlay. This rare and fragile meteorite forms as molten nickel-iron flows around emerald green olivine crystals.
  • Albin pallasite meteorite inlay in thumbstud
  • Titanium liners - fully fileworked and jeweled
  • 14K gold bladestop
  • The Gibeon nickel-iron meteorite was found in Namibia, South Africa in 1837 (approx.)
  • The Renfrow stony meteorite is an L6 chondrite meteorite that was found in Grant County, Oklahoma in 1995.
  • The Albin pallasite meteorite is the rarest class of meteorite, and was found in Laramie County, Wyoming in 1915.

By the way - you do some really nice work with your cameras. Thanks for sharing.

Did you guys know that Spark created "The Gallery" - a whole forum dedicated to our knife pics. It's at the bottom of the General forum listings. He's told exactly NOBODY about it! It just appeared a few days ago.
 
Thanks all for the good words. I should also mention, Senator, in one of his past threads gave me the basics on how to remove an object to add a background. And also Phil, another forumite who does some really cool stuff with pics helped me out in adding backgrounds.
