LOL... you too? I have been fascinated this summer by the hoverflies... shot a few myself. At first, and from afar, I thought they were waps.. was tempted to swat them away..
very cooperative little creatures they are too...
I love the blue/purplish contrast, mine always hovered around orange lilies, not as pretty

I've been shooting all my pics with a little point-and-shoot, not an easy task with moving flies and wind-swept lilies. For every photo that turned out alright I threw away 20 that were not
Sadly, I recently inherited my dad's Canon 460D but have yet to learn how to handle a DSLR. Looking forward to the experience though

I recently bought my first DSLR, It took me watching a hour long tutorial on youtube and flicking through a few pages of the manual last night for me to understand how to use my nikon d7000. it is awesome though I tried it today

I've been using the manual setting on my little Lumix for the last year.. best preparation for a 'BIG' one.. I'm more the trial and error type anyway, not much of a fan of manuals. tutorials are cool though, I've learned a lot over the years, be it Photoshop, or photography, or languages, baking and loads more.
and making mistakes and learning from them is the best way for me.
looking forward to making many more mistakes

omg dude, I really want to paint with light, but my camera can't adjust the shutter speed -.-

I want to get a better camera too! Definitely one where you can adjust the shutter speed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha mine is like, the shutter speed can change, but it's not in manual mode, but instead in different settings like "landscape. portait. sport" bla bla bla like that. I don't need the camera to tell me what to do thanks lol

Yeah, I don't like that either, that's why I want a nicer one

what camera do you use currently? it can't be that bad, your photos are great!
yeah but the problem is, I started photography like 2-3 weeks ago and just bought this camera. my mum would go crazy if i tell her I already out grown this one and want a more expensive one hahahah.
