red colorant smoke...lol...

the picture is nice but the sun center strick is a bit agressive. I am tempted to look more at the sprinkler jet in the sun and the background but the sun stop us doing so...You could had wait that the sun move to the rigth to bring the sun to relfect and remove the ligth pole or flag pole on the rigth. Or have move past the car and get a composition under the water jet and maybe get a rainbow. (actually not yourself under the jet but by zooming in) If it whasnt of the ligth cutting the picture in half it whould have been really great.

i do have a 19 inch viewsonic a90 and i am glad with it! It is not a flashy one but do well for me the price is 250us$ Color and gamma ok but con dot pitch of .27 Good luck there is many outher.

Interresting what we can do with water...By adding more speed to the aperture it seem to be frozen in time and by reducing the speed it look more active...My preference is trap in time and you got it fine! What append to digitale one it whasnt what you where expecting?

Bseph i been doing photo since i whas 15 year old.... It did start with one girl at the audiovisual department of my school who did show me how and then it follow up with the 3 graduate album of the school and social activity. It all started there....know i am 32 and i still do photo for fun. I work in medical electronics and do use a lot my knowledge to solve video issue...

very nice shot! dog always be dog...That make me remember mine whas doing the same but had litte inconviant ...it whas after a rainny day and one car from a two track road splash it with water....the poor dog had is supprise and myself too afterward.... i whas lafting untill he strick back in revenge....cleanning is coat out in the car...whasnt lafting at him afterward...lol people keep a camera not far that is proof of what you whould had mist...

well i am lost then bsteph 2069 mouahahaha gee i am shure not to be fool by changing again ...like they say only fool nerver change there mind i gest ill have to decide im i or not advance or im i not a beginner...guest ill have to compete with the pro then...new to digital but not to photography.....gee ill return to the thread of advance then.. Hope people whont tag me for not knowing where i am standing....lol

For the picture quality i am favorable for digital camera... But there is a lots of inconveniance to it! The durability of the print isnt yet here..If we remove the price tag in the debate there is noway that films compete against digital. But to get really the thruth out the films for most of us is a better performer since money doesnt grow on tree. But the end of the films isn't yet but at this rate of devllopement of technologie in 5 year it will be thing of the past. I have been and inconditional of films for a long time... But know i whas having the choice of building again my darkroom in my new home and taking in consideration of all the trouble i whould get througth! I move to digital! With all the software you cant get to do so much trick that where almost impossible to do in darkroom or too much time consumming. And thinking of less chemical around the house... well digital is so far a good winner. I did buy a kodak dc4800 and since i got it i did learn more in photo then i did in 15 year of amateur photo. And for a low end digital cam i get very good print too. If you take in account that the average user never make print bigger than 57 inch print digital is more then sufficiant. 3.1 meg pixel cam give you enough to print 810 to 11*17 that are really good. If you put back money in account you get more for your money with films so far...But not for long... :0)

if you do have the option in the driver of your scanner like scan in billion of color,line art or b&W or 256 shade of gray ....whell take the 256 shade of gray you will get better result.

Did reclassify my self since there is 3 level in the contest. I am not new to photography but new to digital... Don't shoot me -(o)-

I am in too. wont say more since all been said! lol

ok then do you make the first thread since you initiate the idea..And ill delete my post to transfer in yours... Because it make more sense and it is easyer to look them all for us too!

Really fine arts here....this contest is relly a good challenge.... this picture put you on the winner list fo shure...

It is realy pretty Lisa

i do have one and in fact i am happy with it. the only thing i may find anoying...is the focus! First time you press half way the button focus is not always rigth for macro. I whas having a problem often i whas forgeting the macro mode on or lansdcape mode then i whent on the kodak site and they are giving for free a software update to correct focus and on power up it is showing you in the screen the icon of the mode you are... So far 16meg come with it and to me it whas unsuficient. If you use the full resolution you will and up with only one picture at full resolution...9 meg tiff or at high compression jpg 3.1 megapixel 32 shot. If you use the 0.8 megapixel you will be able to take 47 shot of 1024*768 not bad still i di buy the 64meg ram card... So i think i gona see those site on the thread to see what people are complaining about it.... I am very please with the color rendering and with all the feature she give...almost like a 35mm manual.
