In Flickr they use to organize that kind of "photo gatherings". Sounds fun.

At this moment, urban landscape has attracted my attention. I don't know if I live in a new "freak-architecture" capital, but that's what it seems to me lately.

Sometimes I'm like a "chronicler", taking a lot of pictures of recent buildings:

Getting a camera for my xmas, hopefully I'll be able to use it to the things potential and take great photographs. I'd hate to only be able to take pathetic photos with it.

Kayleigh, please get a camera from a brand that actually makes camera's.
So no Sony, no Samsung, no HP etc. Panasonic is the only exception to that.
Get yourself a Canon or a Pentax or a Nikon, Fuji... Anything really.
I'm a Canon man myself, but Fuji has some nice compacts too

The new fuji x10 looks very promising.

s_k · 11-24-2011, 04:19 PM

It definitely does, but that's probably a bit expensive

right-track · 11-24-2011, 04:23 PM

...but not as expensive as the fuji x100. I know cos I bought one.
If it's half as good as the x100 it's a real bargain at the price it's up at.

Haha, very nice! Beautiful camera, indeed...
I got a Powershot SX200IS for a compact camera, which is amazing value for money.
And an old Powershot G5. Gotta love those. But I mainly take pictures with my EOS 30D

Hahaha, that's funny. Art graduate girl seems nice by the way.
Still, I'm usually taking pictures belly forward. Somehow most stable

Sometimes I take pics in weird positions. For instance, yesterday: Someone had the crazy (and perhaps brilliant too) idea of putting a plane (a "skeleton", actually) into a subway station. And I looked like a fuc*ing contortionist, trying to find the best angle to take some photos of it.
