My first camera...

I have had old camera's loaned to me and use to buy the odd throw away one..
So I thought i might just buy a decent one...I didnt mind it not being an SLR but i still wanted one that could do more than i can so I wanted one that I could use when I learnt more about taking photo's...

I bought a Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd...
I have a friend who is into photography and about a year ago we discussed what i should look for, then a couple of months ago I seen one advertised at Target, checked it out and went online and found that it was what he had suggested...
12x optical zoom and a 10 megapixel ccd..
All for $299..

When I rocked up to his place with it and showed him, he jumped on the phone and told a couple of his mates to go get one, it made me feel good that he recommended it to others...

Now all I need is a tripod, I shake too much for photos that need steady hands...

These are probably the better of the photos I took tonight, pity about the cloud and the lack of ability to take photo's on my part, but hey, its actually my very first time I have taken any photos on the moon and I am trying out all the settings on the camera(there are dozens and i tried only but a few so far)...

Tripod and more skill would do better, and hopefully living on the farm soon will even make life just that little bit cosier...
I will even be able to justify a telescope maybe(yes still havent got one yet, some people take time to learn)...

I should have included this one when I zoomed right in and what a mess I made of it...
As you can see, I shake too much...

I have disabled the digital zoom as I can do that on my pc if i wanted to, so I do get fairly large images with the settings I use but this gives me more to play with if I wanted to be smart(totally out of my ability that smart thing)...

Hi Wraithe
That's not a bad camera. 12x zoom is definitely handy for daytime shots and moon shots.

Keep on trying and keep asking questions.

Really, nah dont believe you...only grown ups are allowed to drink and I promised never to grow up...

I have a piece of paper that says I am a minor, so that kind of excludes me from drinking...
