just a point and shoot guy heh

Well i'll make this an intro too. My names andrew, i'm 17 and i've really developed an interest in photography over the past year. I really want a dslr, but, i can't afford one at the time so i work with what i have lol. Anyway heres some of my stuff i've done in the past. Most of the pics were done on my old Canon Powershot SD1000 with allbest chdk firmware hack to allow me to shoot 10-bit raws (raw > jpeg

). Then i broke that camera and had it replaced with a Canon Powershot A590IS. I just recently bought a tube adapter for it so i can put 52mm lens filters on it, right now i'm rockin a uv filter and circular polarizer.

On with the pics!!

My HDR-Phase (man i'm glad i'm done with that lol)

Some Self Portraits (i guess lol)

Now some Misc pictures (some of these were taken with my new camera)

The end of the corvette z06 pictured above's life, 7/2/2008. hit by a semi at 60mph

New Camera Time!!

vette ended up getting totaled, look what he bought next

More Misc With New Camera

old pic, recently edited. friend took the pic with my old camera, i did the editing (along with the editing in all of the other pics posted up)

thats just about everything i've done up to today thats worth looking at, let me know what you guys think and how i can improve and such

thanks for looking!

P.S.

The Camera

This is how my camera looks with the tube adapter and lens filters on (just minus the lens hood now, it got in the way in the pictures, meh ohwell it never really did anything lol)

There are some real treats among them like the third one. But maybe you should have divided the photos in several threads as they seem out of order or theme in just one thread.

Great work with that camera, though.

Coutts · Sep 8, 2008

thanks, i thought i'd post it it all in one as sort of my background or something

Mersad · Sep 8, 2008

I don't have anything against that it's just that one can't focus really on a single photo when there is so much to see.

Nice thread. Great set!

Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

What is that on the front of your camera (you called it a "lens tube"??) - is that a home made thingy/modification or an off-the-shelf product?

Coutts · Sep 8, 2008

it's off the shelf. i actually just bought it off of ebay, i paid about $20 after shipping and shipping insurance. not a bad deal if you ask me heh. i did pay $50 for the polarizer though, i can already tell it works better than my friends old $15 one he had.

Hmm cool! How does it fit onto the camera? it looks almost like it's attached directly to the camera body.

Anyway thanks for the prompt reply!

Coutts · Sep 8, 2008

its actually made to fit. canon makes one but it was way more expensive, this one works just as well =)

and no prob! its really cool now that i have it, although i don't use the lens hood (it rotates with my polarizer so sometimes it gets in the corner of a shot). but now i can put any 52mm lens filter / attachment on. i can also get a step down ring to attach a 50mm slr/dslr lens backwards for super up close macro photography.
