Kodak Easyshare DX6490 – its the best I could afford on my student nurses bursary:D

The problem I have is I have worked out how to change the ISO on it, but as for changing anything else its a nightmare – or maybe I am just thick – If anyone knows the answer please let me know.:D

There is a full on-line manual here – [click]

Rob, you’re clearly wrong, that’s all I was stating, albeit with some humour. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it.

It seems not!

Hope you don’t mind me sharpening your image, Albert. I’ll remove it if you wish.

Can’t you make any post without resorting to personal attacks/abuse?

mmmm, methinks you deceive us – Cheapo camera, my eye. 😀

Seriously, they look great – statics are well composed, colour is rich and sharpness is excellent.

Ok, so shutter speed is a bit too high – but you can play with what you have to improve that in future – if you want to.

Your exif data is missing, so which “cheapo” are you using?

Some nice shots posted there Mr Angry.

Was going to post some of mine but as I only have a cheap camera dont think I will bother. Some people on here are just overly critical – some of us dont have expensive cameras – I just think the pics are atmospheric.

You might, then, be surprised to learn that Mr Angry uses a Fuji Finepix S5600.

The S5600 has been supersceded now by the S5700. I found that priced at just £124.90 including VAT from Pixmania – Click.!!

So, if you have a picture you’re proud of, post it, and ignore any unconstructive criticism, such as “oh cheap camera’s are rubbish, you need to spend £599 to get anything worthwhile”.

At the end of the day we can only follow our hobbies up to the amount of disposable money we have. Which in my case, is just about £0.00!!

I use a Fuji Finepix S6500fd, refurbished, direct from Fuji’s website, at about £170. I think it is fantastic value for money.

Sorry Manc, missed your little post.

Yes, of course!

And more on my website.

A modest amount of unsharp mask transforms these pictures, considerably improving they’re appearance. I don’t think their out of focus, merely that the camera might be set up for soft focussing, rather than hard.

Wish I was there too.

Not so sure I fully agree – to me, they only look blurred if you try to zoom in.

However, I did take them on auto, and perhaps I should have taken them by using the anti-shake mode, which tries to use a higher shutter setting and smaller appeture. I’ll bear it in mind next time.

The camera seems to try to achieve a shutter speed of around 250 in auto and double that in anti-shake auto.

Having said that, the UV filter has, I’m sure, cured the problem I was having with purple fringing.

Unfortunately, my next opportunity will be Branscome and they rarely have (in fact I’ve never seen) jets there. So it will have to wait until Culdrose.

Bu Keqi :confused:

Ni bu hui shou putonghua ma? 😮 Shame. It means “you’re welcome” in the common chinese language, using pinyin (more or less).

I really don’t know, but was giving you the benefit of the doubt regarding your skills at panning and avoiding camera shake. You sure it’s not down to the limitations of your camera equipment?

Which ones do you think are OOF, Kev?

It’s worth pointing out, though, that because of the zoom limitation, flying ones are using near maximum zoom, so there is obviously some degredation because of that, if you try to zoom in post processing which may involve some heavy cropping, resulting in a loss of resolution. If they’re fast, they tend to be further away!

Kev, responding in my thread. Owise not fair to the owner of this one.

Hi Rob. Some nice shots. I only first saw the raspberry ripple type Rapide on the Friday for the first time. Is it a rare appearance or recently restored or a familiar one that has been repainted?

Cheers

Martin

Must be a rare appearance.

Someone photographed it, in this scheme, in 1988 click here to see more information about it.

Albert,

I think I understand about the light now – most of your arrival pics were taken in the morning – so the light would have been different. The exif data supports this.

I took all mine after 1.15pm, and the sun was behind me by that time.

😀 I’ll try to get there earlier, in future 😀
