                        Finn,  from now on, please just assume I say "nice" after you post some pics.  Will save me typing…

                              Nice shots, guys! Finn, I love how you seem to take your camera everywhere, something I should do far more often.

                              @jacoavlu:

                              Same to you Cris
                              If you're like me 95% of your pics end up of your kids 🙂

                              More grain…
                              This is Fuji Neopan 1600 shot at about 1250 and developed in Diafine

                              Woooh! Fellow film shooter! And Leica, too.  😘 I'm really not as good as you are, but film just gives me more satisfaction than digital. Doesn't mean film is better or anything, it's just my personal preference. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this!

                              Oh, and this is about photography in general, yeah? My personal hero:

                              http://www.flickriver.com/photos/tommyoshima/popular-interesting/

                              He is not extremely famous, but dude's a monster. To me almost all of his pictures have a certain magic to them. Maybe some of you can dig.

                                Can anyone give me some advice on a decent camera to get started with please?  One that won't cost me an arm and a leg but still a decent piece of equipment.  Thanks

                                  most important, buy the one you will carry with you all the time
                                  if it's big and bulky you won't take it when traveling light

                                    Are you looking for a p&s or a slr?  Jaco is definitely right. Buy something you feel is comfortable to carry with you always.

                                      point taken brother, I just don't know where to start.  Do I look for megapixels or what?  No clue

                                      the one I have now looks no better than my iphone and my iphone sucks

                                        Canon and panasonic make great p&s. I am impartial to Nikon for a slr

                                          barun I would consider a Ricoh GR digital
                                          a few reasons:

                                          • compact, carry always
                                          • fixed lens, 28mm, best way to learn to shoot, stick with on focal length and focus on composition, with a zoom you're messing too much, the fixed lens forces you to move, to think, to frame, and 28mm is a nice "photojournalistic" length, great for "situation" photography, landscapes
                                          • Ricoh make nice "shooter" cameras, will have some manual settings you can tinker with as you learn, again a great camera to learn on
                                          • as far as image quality, lens quality, will be plenty good enough for what you're doing
                                          • f1.9 max aperture is very good, gives flexibility in low light / available light stuff, rare need for flash
                                          • self timer for fit pics!

                                            Thanks a lot jaco, I really appreciate that.  it's been something that I have been wanting to do for quite a while but I just haven't taken the plunge.  good to have this forum of knowledgeable people.

                                            thanks derivative too
