I think that the tide has turned....

Hey all,

I popped along to Floriade yesterday, to grab some piccies of the flowers,
as did quite a few thousand other Canberrans and tourists. There were two
things that really grabbed me:

1) As I was walking around with my fairly large camera gear (compared to
the average Joe), which comprises D30 with grip, -055 tripod, 70-200L,
50/1.8 and 24-85, people would look at what I was doing. When I then picked
up the tripod, people would go to the same spot I was, and look for the same
image. My girlfriend noticed this phenomenon too. I find it particularly
strange as I don't think I took a single decent image all day. The light
sucked, the displays weren't great, and I am better at action photography
than being creative.

2) ...and this is where the tide has turned. I believe that at least 70% of
the cameras that people were using, were digital. Only a few DSLRs
(including a few 300D's, which isn't bad considering they were available
from Fri), and an amazing number of other P&S digis. This is a mammoth
change from last year, when most of the cameras were film P&S's. (it is
probably a good thing that people aren't paying for processing after they
see how poor their photos are from copying my bad shooting day

 

Happens every twelve hours

 

Ahhh, but did you get a picture of it?

 

same

If it was me I would have got on the ground, rolled around, sreamed woohoo
and made people think I was getting photos that no person has even been able
to.

Bit to the left .... lovely ...... petals petals petals .......

 

About every 6 actually
