Just a picture of Lemons...taken with available lighting (low) at night with no flash. Levels adjusted, but I was interested in how this turned out considering it was with the digital...I don't usually get as "good" an image in low light. :-)>

A dumb question, (digitals are largely a mystery to me): there seems to be a wide DOF here, so you likely used a fairly small aperature. Is it possible with a digital to have very long exposures, (several seconds)? [Nice shot, good color saturation, BTW.]

Nice shot Punkie!....to answer your question Misha, most digital's do...although I am not sure about Punk Clowns camera. My digi camera has a bulb function, although I was disappointed to find (when I first bought the camera) that it will only stay on bulb for up to 30 seconds. I thought that was a rip-off.

I am, therefore I create.......

just like my Grandma always said, "When life hands you lemons, take a picture, er make lemonaide, wax the floor, er eat more cheeze..." Ok yes, Granny did live in a home for the mentally not quite here....but nice shot! I've been tempted to try still life shots but my unusual sense of style frightens me as to what I may come up with.... Jack

My camera does NOT have a bulb function. So I think that bulf stuff is for the higher end cameras. Sorry Misha however to be honest my camera is roughtly four years old. Have you tried squezing the lemons infront of a candle and photographing the flame? Bsteph

i like the limited light here- there's no rule that says you gotta have your subject highly lit- mmm- lemons- :~* closet shooting will be next!

LOL - I'd have to clean out all of the skeletons first before I started photographing anything in my closet!
In answer to Misha, the only controls I have on the Agfa 1.3 mp camera is a lever to switch from "normal" to "macro" mode. This was taken in "macro" mode. I have some basic manual control over the white balance and exposure settings, but most of the time I leave it on "auto" (guess I'm getting lazy in my old age) One day I hope to get a digital with more control...(and greater resolution) but for the moment if I want any real degree of creative control I reach for the SLR!
