Will to answer you question. The camera at the time was a Olympus Pen-3. I like it but me being a fairly reckless picture taker the camera isn't really living up to scuff to my standards of clumsiness. Before this camera most my shots from previous reports was a Canon G11 a camera that lasted a good two years of abuse. What kind of abuse? Well it survived countless of falls at bike speeds, many of wet and drenching rides and a dump into a river during a 3 day hiking trip. It finally kicked the bucket after getting dumped in the SAME river on the last 3 day hiking trip. I like the quick shots of the PEN but with only a year under it's belt it already has a broken screen, broken battery cover and it turns off after taking a shot. Its interesting because now it's forcing me to pick my shots and be a lot more selective when taking pictures. Hence the better pictures. I highly recommend playing with a film camera if you're looking to expand your photography. My only reasoning is because it's expensive to develop pictures and you get mad at yourself if you don't take really good shots. So why don't I use film? Well the last film camera broke.
My picture taking suggestion? I generally take pictures with the mentality of trying to convey the whole experience in one shot. Take what looks good then be super selective with what you want to post up. Eventually every now and then you get good shots. After awhile you'll start knowing what you like. Any woo a picture of a camera proves that I should have gotten the g12: http://flic.kr/p/cobWYU -Manny "not a photographer" Acosta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
