Photograph and Camera talk

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

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.

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.

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!
