That so needs a LOL Cat caption on it!

Good pics mate, I need to go down to that bridge in Summer to take pics, gold/blue colours are captured well.

 

[Sym0n]

Love number 4. Really sharp and colourful.

 

[Kris86]

Alex let me know when your free dude, few good spots around there and you've got an DSLR aint you? would look 100 times better on that hah.

 

[jenic]

Some cracking shots there, particularly liking number 3, 6 and 7

Will do :approve: Got a D40, nothing spectacular mate. Pics look up to standard of an SLR to me tbh.

 

[Andy.]

Some really nice shots in there. You should look into using Flickr instead of Photobucket for hosting though, as some of the images have been treated to some nasty compression!

 

[James.f]

Looking good, love the ones in Capel Curig, (3,4) was it cold down there today?

 

[Kris86]

yeah was m8 hah

 

[James.f]

[Kris86]

yeah hah went all around there hah. payday so thought sod it!!

 

[Adamio]

Great pics, really like the bridge ones

 

[Tigger]

Lovely scenery shots, the indoors ones look noisy or is that just playing with settings?

 

[Kris86]

that was literally first day i got it and was trying to keep the cat still so quite possibly me moving the camera or playing with the settings heh.

 

[Tigger]

lol fair enough, keep the pics coming anyway

 

[Lagerlout]

Nah... It's noise. I've got a TZ7 as my P&S and it's a great bit of kit... But anything above ISO400 is very noisy.... A problem most compacts suffer with tbh.

 

[Tigger]

I've just got my hands on an Olympus Tough 8000

Have to give it a test-run soon

 

[Reyes]

Ooooft. Landscape shots of yours does it for me.

 

[Kris86]

why thankyou sir. Im at a loss with iso though, so the higher the iso the more noise in the picture and the less detailed it is?

Found out how to do long exposure shots for stars/sky and some light trails so picked up a cheap tripod and gonna give it a test tonight. impressed with it so far for such a small thing, cant wait to really get into it then to get a decient nikon or canon

 

[Lagerlout]

Yeah, on ANY digital camera, noise will increase the higher the ISO. But it's much more pronounced on compacts, possibly due to the tiny sensor.

The TZ7 is a cracking camera though mate. I'm really pleased with mine. The HD video is an added bonus too.

Great shots! :approve:

 

[Kris86]

Tried long exposure shots lastnight, first was 15 sec, second was 30 sec. Shame you can only pick between 15,30 and 60sec as id like a waterfall shot with only a few seconds but oh well. Any comments on what i can do better much aprechiated!!

Light looks totally blown out on first one, i have photoshop so could a function on that fix it?

Thanks for lookin

 

[The Hoff]

Are you using the scene modes for those?

Look good, and yes you can do some corrections on the levels, but open shutter pointing at a massive light is always going to produce the same result.

Look good though. I bought a Gorillapod when I got mine, pretty useful for trees and things.

 

[Kris86]

Yes mate i used the starry sky scene mode. I got a crappy tripod from jessops for £20, does the job!

 

[sneeks]

Using Night Mode with the camera on a tripod or solid surface produces some good results as the camera will then automatically choose a shutter speed in between the default 15, 30 & 60 second options.

 

[Jason_E]

The landscape shots look gorgeous! *Waits for LOLcat caption*

 

[Kris86]

haha

 

[sneeks]

TZ7 using Night Mode:

 

[Kris86]

looks lovely that mate, you use tripod or just rest the camera on something? btw where was it taken?

 

[sneeks]

Thanks. I had to rest the camera on a railing for that photo and used the Night Scene setting. It was shot in Alcudia during October 2009.
