SLR Camera Photos
Digital cameras are well known for their ability to capture photos on the go. With a screen that shows you exactly what photo you're going to get, you can rest assured your digital camera photos will be what you expected. However, like all modern devices, there are advantages and disadvantages to digital camera photos.
For one thing, lighting works differently with a digital camera than a regular one. Detail often isn't as clear. On the plus side, digital cameras usually come equipped with a brightness-contrast control and different types of flash. In addition, you can upload the pictures to your computer, and share them with anybody in email distance.
One of the biggest complaints of people taking digital camera photos is that the pictures looked much better on the screen display. This is because fine details, such as leaves, skin imperfections, and color intensity appear smaller than they really are. When the photo is uploaded

and enlarged, the photographer finds certain details were neglected.
Another enemy of digital camera photos is blurriness. If your hand isn't perfectly steady when you snap the picture, the entire photo is ruined. This doesn't show up until the picture is enlarged.
With practice, both woes of digital camera photos can be avoided. At first, it's difficult for the amateur photographer to spot these imperfections. Trial and error is the only way to truly learn from your mistakes. The types of flaws that people see in their digital camera photos are unique to the photographer. One person may tend to put too much emphasis on a subject and completely neglect the background. Another photographer may move his hand right before clicking the button. After a few uploads, you'll better know your quirks of style.
Once you've got details and movement down, you might find that your lighting is less than satisfactory. This is because digital camera photos require much more light than conventional cameras. For example, a regular camera might be able to take a well defined photo of the moon, whereas a digital camera would only show a tiny speck on a black background. For human subjects, indoor photos never come out well, unless lots of light is directly on the person. Instead, try to get photos of family and friends in the great outdoors. Don't have them stand with their backs to the direction of the sun, because digital camera photos are notorious for grainy images, due to poor lighting.
Now you'll be able to enjoy your digital camera photos like a pro! Practice, practice, practice. The process may be frustrating at first, but don't lose hope. You'll eventually learn the mistakes you tend to make. Remember that a perfectly good picture can be ruined by the slightest motion of your hand, so keep steady. For an overall good appearance, and clear, defined subjects, always have plenty of lighting.

Dude, where's my camera?
It's Tuesday! Where's my Camera?
<P>
A whole lot is going on at Randompixel, though most of it is behind the scenes. To faciliate these changes, I'm forgoing posting a new camera this week. Instead, I and the randompixies have been readying a huge new group of cameras to be released over the next two weeks.
<P>
To put it in perspective, the first release was of 7 cameras, in 1998, of which 2 came back. The second release, the 2000 release, consisted of 12 cameras, of which 5 came back.
<P>
The most recent release, started three weeks ago, was of 15 cameras. As of today, none of this latest batch has returned but, if history is any measure, the first cameras should be coming in any day now.
<P>
This weekend we prepared <B>51</B>(!) cameras to be released over the next 10 days. This batch is larger than all of the previous camera releases combined.
<P>
On the website front, I'm working on a minor redesign of the home page, with the intention of giving more frequent blog-style updates, letting you know about cameras that have made their way home, recent news or blog articles, and an extremely comprehensive F.A.Q.
<P>
Also, I'm going to try out comments on a per-photo level, so you can let others know, for example, that there's no such thing as a 'notchback Mustang', and that it looks more like a '67 than a '65. We'll be able to see how it goes starting in a week or so.
<P>
So, to sum up: Randompixel growng. Tons of new cameras. New features. No camera this week. New camera next Tuesday.
<P>
Thanks for your support, and have a wonderful week!
<P>

The link now points to this week's camera, not last week's. :-)<p><A href='http://randompixel.com/cameras/ammy/'><IMG SRC='http://randompixel.com/images/ammy_hero.jpg' style="border:1px black solid;"></A>New Camera: Emily
<A href='http://randompixel.com/cameras/emily/'><IMG SRC='http://randompixel.com/images/emily_hero.jpg' style="border:1px black solid;"></A>It begins!
A camera, alone in the world. Each Randompixel camera was given to a stranger. Stickers on the camera instruct the recipient to take a few pictures and pass it along. When the camera is done, it is dropped in the mail, it returns home, and the pictures are posted here.
<p>This site has been nearly six years in the making. It started in the <A href="http://fury.com/cameo" target=rpop>Fall of 1998</A> with six cameras given to complete strangers. Over the next two years, two cameras came back.
<p>In the Summer of 2000 ten more cameras were released, each named after a friend. Emily is the first camera to be posted on Randompixel, a site that most of my friends thought would never actually see the light of day.
<p>Welcome to Randompixel. Each Tuesday a new camera will be posted. be sure to subscribe to the announcement list or the RSS feed to be notified when the next camera is posted.
<p>Enjoy!
