First Ever DISUnplugged PodCast Cruise Part Two

[scarlett873]

Get a dSLR! Its the best thing I bought since my GPS!!

Spend a little time learning the basics Shutter Speed, Apeture and ISO and you'll never look back. The pictures are so much better that the little extra size doesn't bother me at all.

I'm actually getting real-DH a DSLR camera for Christmas! He wants to learn all that stuff...I just want to be able to point and shoot...

Yes please.


And when you aren't looking, I'm sneaking out of the house and leaving you with the kids.

Sneaky Sneaky

Sure, just be sure to leave out the sharp objects and leave the coins by the outlets.

Sounds like a good plan to me...

One of the many reasons why we must bow to you

A nice feature of the dSLR is you can point and shoot. You photos will still be better than a pocket camera. But when your ready to get creative and take better photos you have the tools.

I like to point and shoot too, but our camera is an older Kodak digital (only 3.1mp) so it's soon time to upgrade (especially since I dropped it on the concrete floor of the garage today getting it out of the car).

Good morning everyone!

DH got me a awesome Fuji camera for my b-day in October- I still have no idea how to work it except on auto. Need to put in the cd manual and figure it out before the cruise! Home today with the girls- the little ones- PT conference day. We are attempting our first gingerbread house. Man that frosting is like tar!
Happy holidays

 

[DVCsince02]

Okay I just Wiki'd DSLR and my mind is spinning. Either I am too tired, or it is way to complicated and I'm sticking to my pocket camera.

Usually I'm pretty techie (techy?). Anyways, we'll see what happens.

Does it have

[sandyh67]

No, it is not a URL, how do I get that?

 

[DVCsince02]

If you right click the object, select properties, and copy the web address. Then past it into your signature with the

code surrounding it. Again no spaces.

How else do you think I've made it this far?

 

[jeanigor]

Any good leads on cameras that are watertight? I would love to take photos while parasailing or jetskiing.

Good ol' Royal Icing...that stuff is like tar. I hate trying to make flowers with it!

Good point!

Olympus Stylus line are waterproof to ~10ft. I have oe of the earlier models that took good pictures. I never tested it to see how waterproof it truely was. Unless you want to deal with water tight cases and a realy good camera, I would just go with the disposable underwater cameras you can buy at WalMart or Target

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Thanks for the disposable waterproof camera suggestion Kathy...I think I'll buy each of my kids one to use while we are at Castaway Cay!

 

[georgemoe]

Just as long as I don't have to change a poopy diaper, we'll all be fine.

Would you like to look at my poo tree Kathy?

 

[georgemoe]

I'm an "observer" too...if you know what I mean..grrr...

You da DIS wolf!

Don't get caught up in all the jargon. Really, go get the book Understanding Exposure and sit at the book store and read it. If its too much, keep the dSLR in auto mode until your ready. But in auto the shots are still much better than a pocket camera.
