Heard a lot of good about it, so I thought I'd give it a go.

[Pantsu Man!]

Good buy. It's a really good film. Not that it's related in any way but if you like it you should pick up the Shinkai collection aswell.

Voices of a Distant Star is short and I didn't really enjoy it all that much, it was still good though. The Place Promised in our Early days is a superb film you should watch. Disregard this if you've seen them.

Is that a digital camera?

 

I'm looking for a digital camera (preferably which is cheap) that takes good quality photos, and doesn't break all the time.

 

get a Canon. They're excellent.

[Ganepark32]

@ Villan - Good buy. Really good movie although I had to watch it through twice to fully appreciate and enjoy it. So bear that in mind.

[CoolFunkMan]

Was in a retro mood, so I won this off ebay:

 

 

£4.55, including postage. ^^

I hate my digital camera. It eats away battery life unbelievably fast, so I have to use rechargable ones.

 

Every photo is more likely than not going to be fuzzy, for whatever reason. Is that based on exposure time? Well it has none. You have to stand perfectly still (impossible) to get good ones. Or rest it on something.

 

If I hook it up to my computer, the battery suddenly runs out...

Oooh, what does the caterpillar do? I've seen that book around online, and was wondering if it's a nice one? =)

 

 

Lovely! Something I would wear I think. Looks really nice. =D

 

Goddamn right it's nice. The hungry caterpillar is awesome, munching his way through all kinds of things.

 

Last time I read that book was about ~5 years ago

Its a goodie alright.

 

Anyone picked up that other one that I keep seeing in HMV, Origin? (Origins...?)

[Jimbob]

 

£12 Amazon

[Esequiel]

Do want.

 

I just picked up Pinnochio on Blu Ray at asda for £19.47..... for the kids.... honest.

[Ganepark32]

@ Darksnowman - Not yet. I've been looking at Origins for weeks now everytime I go into HMV but I still haven't decided to buy it. I want to watch it but money hasn't been permitting enough to allow for it's purchase due to the number of games that are being released. If it wasn't for RE 5 this week and GTA Chinatown Wars and MadWorld next week, I'd definitely pick it up. Will see though. I might be able to scrap together enough money to buy it.

Send it back, dont settle for crap.

Had it for a few years, and it's been sent back before.

 

"Nothing wrong with it"

 

I'm over it. I want a camera like a girl at school has...where the photos look like something from a catalogue or something. I assume it's actual film or whatever, rather than digital.

How much are you willing to spend?

Thats the biggest question, i started a thread but decided i wasnt going to get one due to lack of funds.

You need one that steadies the picture for you, i forgot what its called =/

[nightwolf]

It could be digital, the canon's at uni are similar to of style, very interesting to work with.

What is the ISO and your shutter speed at when you take these pictures? I remember being on a night out and a friend was moaning that there camera was taking blurry shots and was getting frustrated with his camera. I changed a few settings and it was perfect.

- What's ISO?

- How do I find out? (in both cases)

[Letty]

I comissioned a full DE dreadkit from someone last night.

 

I asked for Black to white transitionals. Should be here by April!

- What's ISO?

ISO is your film speed, in low light situations this needs to be set quite high. Although the higher you go the more noise you will notice. These settings range from about 100-6400. So make sure yours isn't sitting in the low 100's.

 

And you shutter speed is measured in fractions such as

 

1/1000

1/500

1/250

1/125

1/60

1/30

1/15

1/8

1/4

1/2

1 s

 

For example 1/8 is an 8th of a second. If your shutter is open for to long then you will notice a blur. But if it's not open for long enough then you won't let enough light in.

 

You need to ensure that your ISO is fairly high and your shutter is nice and quick if your taking pictures in low lighting. Or switch it to sports mode and that does it automatically.

 

With out knowing the cameras layout it's hard to tell you exactly what buttons to press, but thats the general theory behind it all. If your unsure, check those instructions.

 

 

I just went out and bought NFG's new CD. Whoop!

Thanks...nothing of the sort is apparent by going through the actual menus on my camera...I'll look in my manual.
