[Finshack]

Great shots @marlin , love the Kingfisher… top stuff

[Max Power]

@Marlin fantastic Pictures! Is the last one the dolomites / Tre Cime?

[marlin]

@Finshack and @Max Power, thank you guys!

Yes Max, this are the Tre Cime in the Dolomites, this picture was made on the same tour like the pictures I postet before (Page 105). The Dolomites are my favourite place to go, at least from dose places within my reach, just love them!

[Max Power]

Same here, I hope to be able to go there again next year!

@marlin - Those shots are awesome. I've done enough photo to know how much accumulated work needs to be done before pulling something like those. Well done.

@Matty123 - There are lots of good cameras available these days. You need to boil down the ocean between SLRs, mirrorless, and others, and then see what's available for your price range. You can get deals on refurbished cameras from the OEM, or buy a used camera from an established dealer like B&H in NY. Lenses are as important as the camera and can be a lot more expensive. IMHO, wildlife photo is about the hardest thing an amateur photographer can pursue and it requires some of the most expensive lenses. My recommendation would be a full frame SLR and a single fast prime lens, maybe 50mm, and focus on learning to take pics with available light. As a side note, I found the book "Understanding Exposure" super useful.

Thanks @JDelage, it's greatly appreciated!

I picked this up today for £75.00 with a spare battery, which I thought wasn't a bad deal.

I always try to remember to take a selfie on the end of my film rolls, most are throw aways but sometimes they yield interesting results.

Few recent slide scans from Velvia 100

[louisbosco]

some of my expired rolls became 'too expired'. absolutely gutted.. especially when i was expecting their glorified beauty of crossprocessed in europe. 

they're hard almost impossible to find nowadays. i got them 4/5 years ago and i stopped shooting for a few years.

one roll was the old Fuji T64 Tungsten and the other was an old Agfa (not the new Agfaphoto) Ct Precisa.

[marlin]

@moto, I really like the 1. and the 3. pic, they have great style, mood/atmosphere, well done!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

There's plenty of weird shit here in South Africa.  ???

[sabergirl]

Cool caterpillars!  Some of my favorite things to see in a new locale are insects and spiders.  They're often very different.

thanks @marlin !

@louisbosco how old was that film? I'm always impressed when getting any images from expired film, always a gamble.

@Filthy 21/23oz junkie nice captures!!

I lost my travelling camera to a man versus wave and tuna incident in Fiji.

I'm thinking one of these.

Ant reason why I should not?

[Jett129]

There’s not very much to choose from in this category. The only other camera that I thought might be comparable is the Nikon Coolpix W300. They both seem really good.
