Bananas are not always bend. Some are round and orange, why do people call them tangerines?

In a math world, you are "x+1=y" years old. Aren't you?
Posted by Marly
Yes
, or 40 + 1 = 41 in the real world
Posted by tranced
You look so young for the age you are. Oh wait! I ain't seen ya!
Posted by Marly
Posted by tranced
Not that I'm requesting a photo of you in a subliminal message.
Posted by Marly
No worries, I know you're not
Posted by tranced
Darn! The reverse psychology didn't work

Haha, I wouldn't want to scare away the members that are still here

Don't be humble
Posted by hihihans
He didn't ask for pics from the bikini round
Enjoy your new year, Marly.
Posted by tranced
Been thinking of getting a camera. I think the phones can't be my main cameras anymore. What do you think?
Posted by hihihans
Only get one if you want to take real good photo's. For daily use phonecams are good enough.
Posted by rikken
Agree
the best camera is the one that's with you 
Posted by tranced
But I do want to buy a camera. I know I make some nice shots with my phones, but a camera would be nice too.
Posted by hihihans
If you do, buy a really good camera. Don't get yourself a digicam. You have past that station with your phone. I mean, your pics are good. They can only get better with pro equipment.
Posted by tranced
Exactly. I want to try the pro side. It's been a long time since I started taking photos with my phone. Now I think it's time to get a chance with a real camera.
Posted by Marly
Yeah, when you want to "upgrade" from your phones, skip the compact and get an SLR. Even though most compacts still take better pics, than phones, their main advantage is, that they're small and light, so it's easier to take them with us, compared to an SLR with lens(es). But now we have our phones for point-and-shoot pics, so no need, to spend money on a compact, imo.
As you like to take macro-photos (I remember the great pics of spiders and bugs you took with your K750i), you'd better not start with a large zoom, their quality is not good enough for macros, unless you'd buy a very expensive one.
A smaller zoom, or even a standard lens, usually is best to start with, they're cheaper and have better quality, especially in low-light situations. You can always buy that larger zoom later, and a flash.
For macros and long exposure times you'll also need a tripod.
Posted by tranced
Thanks for the compliment. But honestly I want to try a different subject in photography as well. Not saying that I'll give up on macro though. But with a pro camera I can experiment new fields and discover my potential.
Posted by Marly
Well, with an SLR and one or two good lenses ( plus maybe a flash ), you'll be able to take photos of nearly every subject, I just wanted to point out, that you shouldn't start with a long zoom as your first or only lens, when you'd want to take macros (among others), as the quality of long zoom lenses isn't good enough for macros and low-light photos. Zoom lenses with a shorter range and standard lenses usually are less complicated to build, hence lower priced, but with better quality.
Posted by tranced
Oh that's true. You have a point there. Saving for a camera is a big sacrifice at the moment.

How did your sunday go?
Posted by Bonovox
Just thought I would say hello
Been busy getting dad well & he is doing very well too. Been his carer & he has improved massively so I shall pop by sometimes & post but not as much as I did for a while yet.
Posted by tranced
Don't worry. As long as we know you're alive, it's ok. And glad to hear your dad's improved!
Posted by Bonovox
Cheers
How is you?? Lately I have come to realise nothing really matters or is important as family when someone close to you is sick. It's kinda strange but looking after my dad doing things for him that he finds he cannot do has made me realise I am a natural carer. I have just got on with it & find it all easy but also tiring too
Posted by tranced
It's a vocation. You know you have to be 100% with it and, of course, you get battered. But joyful at the same time.
