Hi
Thanks for your suggestions :)
IIRC I used a wall for support (the light was getting low - they were shot
late afternoon). I took a few shots of Conisbrough Castle because I had
photographed it before with film - and so I figured it would be a good test
at how well the camera does/compares to film.
Hmm today, I finally went through the menus of the 300D and discovered, much
to my surprise, that it was mostly set for minimal quality shots (i.e.
small, highly compressed JPEGs at ISO 200) - and that's what I've been
shooting with. I've set it for higher quality jpegs now and I'll revisit the
castle soon (and when its open this time). Even so, the DSLR is far better
than I'd imagined it would be. I stil prefer the 'feel' of my remaining
film cameras - but the 300D is nice in use (even if I do prefer the 'feel'
of the A1). I guess that's why the E400 looks so attractive :)
On the way home, (on foot) I did some experiments with light in the dark
(street lights on the horizon and the moon) that I haven't posted yet - but
I realise digital opens up many interesting possibilties.
