A "Christmas tree" and some classical buildings in downtown Madrid:

If buildings are well illuminated (like the Metropolis, the one at the left in the last pic), you can always take good night photos.

I am in awe. Very good jarb dude

Ah man. What kind of camera are you using?

About the same mate. Anything higher than 5mp is pretty much a waste of HD space

Those three night pics are gorgeous. I love night pictures <3.

Don't underestimate compact affordable Kodak's.
They're hell to work with (for me, at least) but the results are often very impressive.

another crazy bulb photo. I like this one more.

The good side of blur: sensation of movement.

The good side of Winter: nice photos. I took this one a few days ago. A frozen fountain:

Nice pics, zaqarbal!
Pity there's some scooters on the first pic. Crop 'em off!

I bought this camera on a bootsale a couple of days ago.
Altough the battery door has to be kept shut with tape, I couldn't resist buying it for $3.

I've found a Sony Memorystick pro to go with it and just tested it out a bit

Depth in this picture is pretty nice!

Colours are fine too. Bit brownish, but that's a lot better than the blue glare most sony camera's have.

Flash is pretty usable (altough I'd rather avoid it)

And, altough the age of this camera shows a bit here (ISO 400, grainy), It's a rare thing that an older compact camera allows you to keep your shutter open for 30 seconds.

Nice

Pleasantly surprised!

I've started to get into instant film now that I found out about The Impossible Project. :P
Picked up an old but nice Polaroid 600 and ordered some film. It'll take me a bit to get the light exposure right, but it's really fun. Might try a SX-70 next.
