Fun Guy

[ozwinner]

I took these pics of some Fun Guys while I was out and about in the bush today.

They are a little blurry, but not too bad.

Hey Oz
they look like fun ... impressed my youngest who loves these guys :p

do you have a SLR or just a compact ... is a compact do you have a macro setting ... seems like the auto focus was tricked ... or just couldn't focus that closely

cool

[ozwinner]

The camera is a Canon S2is (5meg), great camera, has macro as well, but I think it focused on the background.

Ill have to try some other settings on the camera other than auto.

Nice shots Al, just a little out of focus but really great shots, Photography was a hobby of mine way back in the old days. Still like to take a pic now and then but the hands are not as steady as they use to be.

The canon has image stability so there is relatively little camera shake even at max zoom, good for us old fellas. :)

These days hands don't need to be steady with digital especially Panasonic Lumix Range they all have anti shake. This is just one they have smaler and cheaper with great quality

Not sure, I took the pictures up near Watsons place at Avoca, I also took this pic of a little lamb. :(
There was a full grown sheep freshly killed too so I dont think Id like to be in the Avoca bush at night.

How does the price compare with the Panasonic?

Al, those are nicely framed shots but the focus is an issue.

On my camera I have 5 focus points that can be used. On the view finder I have 5 little squares which mark the focus points. I can chose which of these focus points the camera will use to focus. Does you camera have something like that? It looks like they are focused at the top rather than at your point of interest.

Was the first pic of chantrelles? We have them here in Tx. and there are great grilled or anyway you like to use mushrooms. I would be careful without positive ID. Here, theres nothing that looks remotely like them.
They are bright yellow to orange and taste lemony with a just ma touch of pepper. Yum.:U

The Cannon S3 looks like a damn fine camera.
