New Member Introduction

Message 343 of 432

Hi!
I am excited to join your group. I am an artist and art teacher to elementary inner city students. I have a digital camera, FuijiFilm 5X 8.2 mega pixels that also will make short videos. I also have a Blackberry Curve and Canon Powershot A95, 12X, 5 megapixels that will also make short videos. I would like to first learn on all of these before buying any more equipment.
Any suggestions to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

I can't offer any advice, since I don't even have a camera right now - but I can say welcome :-D

Hi azur! Art reacher? sooo then you can CCP (constructive criticism please) all my wierd computer generated art vids.. Or better yet create your own.. On the more serious side I like you am trying to "totally learn camera" before moving on.. Probably best to outgrow it? Even tho the idea of buying bigger better toys is very seductive.. WELCOME & thanks for intro!

azur... If I were you I would take one of those "toys" & get to know it thoroughly.. I have found recently that I'm trying to learn too many things at once.. Which gives me the outcome of knowing just a lil bit with each.. At the very least decide the best application for each.. then go with it..

Azur, Have you taken any videos with your cameras? I haven't downloaded it yet (can't find my cable) but yesterday there was a pretty sunset and I decided to practice panning. I want to see if I go too fast, smooth enough, where should my endpoint be. Just in a simple one scene shot there can be a lot to learn. So jump in and join us. We're a friendly group.

Welcome helpfulnet! We have a lot of good info in tutorials. Also feel free to start a thread about something you (or anymember for that matter) wants to learn & just can't get. I do it all the time.. part of why I started this group. :)

Thanks everybody for being so friendly and responding with replies to my introduction. I will read all of your posts and start playing around with a few videos and see what I can come up with. Thanks again.
