Back in September, I received an e-mail from the "Vermont Mad Biker" in which he/she stated I needed to improve on my picture taking. (see:
http://jjskewlstuff3.blogspot.com/2009/09/hmmm-well-this-is-different-9-9-09.html ). His/her e-mail got me to thinking and the thoughts turned into action and the action finally came to fruition last night. I mentioned in my post that I should get a good camera for the saddlebags and use it for when we are stopped on the rides/runs/events. I would still use my Kodak
Easyshare C813 for the rolling highway shots. Scroll down & see what I bought.
Geez,
ok,
ok, Janice bought it for me and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.
Since I still have almost a week before the doc cuts me loose to ride again, I will spend the time learning the new camera inside & out because this thing has a TON of features to it..

This is my new camera, a Nikon P-90
Coolpix Digital camera.

The size is like that of the SLR camera's and works just like one only it's digital & doesn't use the 35 mm film.. The front view..

The back view. I found this
youtube video about the camera & it would be easier for you to watch than for me to explain the functions of this camera.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6zvxuPLpQY . I might also add that this camera is not a high priced camera and is in reach of most folks pocketbooks. It has that new face
recognition/blink technology too. (Detects smiles and when people blink). So, now I have to thank the Vermont Mad Biker for planting the seed on this. I appreciate it. I will now return to the 192 page user guide and learn this thing and when I get back on the Harley again, I will take it on the next ride & see how it goes.

The Nikon p-90 is a an awesome camera. I like the way it just kinda sits there between DSLR and point and shoot. Its easy to use and takes better photos then the average point and shoot.
ReplyDeleteHey John,
ReplyDeleteBet you are going to like that camera. I bought Jody a Nikon DSLR and I have enjoyed taking pictures with it. I'll have to let you take a few shots with itthe next time I see you.
