Welcome to Maranatha Web Photo
Albums. Photography has been a hobby of mine for many years,
starting first with black 'n' white film photography in my school days.
We had a photography club at school and in our lunch breaks we
developed our own film and printed our own black 'n' white
prints. Afterwards I moved into colour film photography and
acquired a couple SLR's and a variety of interchangeable lenses. Then
came the digital photography revolution and in the early days digital
cameras were very expensive. My first digital camera was the Nikon
Coolpix E990, a 3.34 megapixel compact camera and in 2001 it was
near top of the range and one didn't get much change out of a thousand
pounds. My first digital SLR camera was the Fujifilm Finepix S2 Pro, a
superb camera for its time and two years later, in 2005, I part
exchanged it for the Fujifilm Finepix S3 Pro. The S3 Pro produced some
amazing pictures with it's dual pixel
combination CCD sensor giving up to 400% increase in dynamic range. The
fine
highlight detail such as clouds in the sky on a bright sunny day were
preserved in the image, instead of being blown out as just white with
little or no detail. At the end of 2009 I obtained the Nikon
D3000 Digital
SLR, a very good performing camera for the price and the 18-55mm VR
(vibration reduction) kit lens produces great images without the
problems of blurring due to camera shake at low shutter speeds.
My latest addition, acquired in December 2010, is the Nikon D7000, with
it's 16.2 Million pixels CMOS sensor, it's Full HD Video capabilities
and 18-105mm VR kit lens. The Nikon D7000 is a truly an amazing SLR
camera, with so many features that even the user manual is over three
hundred pages long! I
find digital photography so much better that the film photography
because one can do so much more with your pictures and the quality of
the images of today's digital cameras, especially digital SLR's, in my
view out performs that of film.
