Go macro, go

I have found that I hate pretty much everything about my Nikon Coolpix l15 point and shoot camera. It takes way too long to focus on most pictures. It takes way too long to save pictures. It takes way too long to turn on. All of the colors look boring in most of the pictures . I have been having many problems with it lately it will freeze up and give me a “lens error” error and won’t allow itself to be shut off. Which means I have to take out the batteries and re insert them. Boo Hiss.

I would have to say that the one feature on it i do like is the macro. It still sucks because it takes like 10 years just to focus on the subject. After you finish 4 beers waiting for the thing to finish focusing, the shots usually turn out pretty nice. Here are a couple. I am leaving them in almost full size. So enjoy scrolling around the picture when you click on it.

The top one was taken at Salem Pond. 2nd down was taken up in Thistle, Utah, Third one down was take at Thistle, Utah. The last one was taken when I was out in Denver.

    I did have a couple turn out ok on my last roll. And like you said I had to soup them way up on Photoshop. I dunno, I guess i just felt like my last camera took much better pictures. It was a point and shoot too. I guess I will have to stick to Cannon from here on out.

    A lot of cameras I’ve used gave boring color in the photo simply because I had bad lighting. Photoshop can be super useful in getting a little more out of a photo. http://skitch.com/todaywasawesome/seg7/1 Here is the grasshoper pic after just applying auto-color.

    Start messing with curves and other adjustments and you can really make the image pop. You have good matte lighitng so it’s already perfect for pshoping
