Default New camera... Gotta play!

Fujifilm S5200's are onsale at visions $248...

Lets see what one can do - manual focus really sucks to use; need 2 fingers on the right hand + the left hand on the right side of the camera; then back to the left side... They must have thought nobody would ever use it...






Time to go play some more

I should probably dig one out eh? Nah, just playing tonight - freehanding em, seeing how the autofocus works on odd angles, where it takes good/bad pics...

Surprised this one came out as clear as this - seio 1500 (3' away) blows straight at it - usually polyps are real blurry

Is your macro mode on? You should be able to get better sharpness with that camera. Sometimes, when I'm trying to capture corals, I put the camera right against the glass to hold it still. Really crisp pictures that way.


No nostril shots Andy. I know you want to, but please...

Actually I do worse when I'm right on the glass - think there's a bit too much vibes from the seio and the AC70...

Nostril? Hell no - But I'm having a hell of a time reaching behind for the butt shot

look in the book for the minimum focusing distance, the first 2 look like your too close to me,it is sometimes better to crop it in closer than to try and get right up to the subject.
