So the new camera is awesome and playing with it is sort of like doing homework except fun. Thanks to Pete, I now have a general understanding of my aperature and shutter speed and how they relate to one another and how they can be manipulated for more interesting images. I also played with the metering to get an idea of how the camera was measuring light in different metering modes and--to my surprise--I could actually see the difference in each setting. Pretty basic stuff but it feels good to be slowly learning about my new toy. The real trick is going to be figuring out how to put all this information together once I've learned it and manipulating all that ish to make cool photos. Blah.
But I'm already pretty sure I want to pick up a Raynox 250 conversion lens to do way cooler macros. The flickr group devoted to the Lumix FZ50 has a bunch of pictures up of people that have used it and the results are really super stunning. Very oooh and ahhh.
I also want to figure out how to play with my in camera picture adjustment tools. But one thing at a time I suppose.
So here's some of the pictures I've taken while just fooling around with the camera. They're not awesome or anything but they're what I have so far.
Tree bark.
Terminator.
Terminator down.
TEETH!
Creepo painting lady.
Look at that face. He's begging for food. Again.
Post-food concerned face.
