Lovely 997! Indeed a nice color!

BTW, I have the feeling you are uploading the pics as they come out of the camera, am I right? You should really consider to apply some editing at least to your favourite ones

Could improve them a lot and also make them lighter in weight

yours:



And edited. Not MUCH different, but worth the time

I love the blue 911.

I usually just increase the contrast to make the pics better.
I maybe do something to enhance the colours.

My usual routine just in case is auto leveling or auto contrast, sometimes a bit of "curves" tweaking, more brillance and warmth (not a stock filter though), cropping, resizing and sharpening

HAHA, I bet so you should consider a mini tripod or a proper tripod you could always keep in your car like I do

Oh, and talk about hijacking a topic

I wanted to warn you about the highjacking part myself

About the tripod. Here they are.
I'll start to carry the small one with me
Took the pic 5 min ago.


Man, it's late and this topic is realy getting abused.
Going to bed.

hey guys thanx for the suggestions.. I think I should just get a better cam and itll fix all the problems I have.. I would do the cropping/retouching if I didnt take so many pics.. Ill probably down the line go back and choose all my favs and do touch them up if I decide to make a portfolio.. right now Im not trying to dedicate my time to it as much.. I think I will just upload them and do the auto-resize just to deminish all the static that the pics have..

Komotar, how much was the small tripod?

Here you can get such small tripod for something around 20 USD if you want a "branded" one, or even less for the "de-branded" ones
If your camera isn't too heavy there are even smaller ones like this one wich is the one I got for around 10 USD:



With my Pro 1 it is a bit too small, it can barely stay on its feet

I've got exactly the same tripod, a Hama isn't it ?
Quite useful but too small, even with my mini Dimage Xt :shock:
