Hey guys, I just joined the forum recently and have been an observer for a little bit. Well I just recently (about half a week ago) purchased a DVX100 (not A or B) and have been loving it. Every day I tinker with it and learn something new every time. It's been great fun so far, and I've been extremely impressed with it's capabilities, even in my novice state. Anyway, I just had one of my first outings the other day with the camera, went to a local park and shot some random stuff to see how it performed. I thought I could share some stills from the stuff I got. Now this is all under natural light, and also had no computer modification. This is all purely off the camera, so it might not look it's best, but I was excited to see the results turn out better than I expected. Anyway, enough talk, let's get to the stills.
This turtle was just hanging out on the sidewalk, and didn't seem bothered by my presence at all, so I laid down and got a few close up shots.
Found this statue down the street from the park, it looked pretty cool with the sun behind it, so I shot a bit while messing around with the iris dial.
For this (and it was a very bright, sunny day), I put it down to 1/8th ND (was at 1/64th) to get the slightly washed out, over exposed look. I thought it came out pretty cool in this case, with the sand next to the water blown out and the black bird walking across it.
I dunno if anyone is interested in seeing the videos of this stuff. If you really would like to see them I'm sure I could find time to post them, but for a first effort I figured just some stills would do the trick. If you have any questions about the shots, let me know. Glad to be a part of this forum now, it's been very helpful thus far!
EDIT: Hmm, can't figure out why the bird shot is small. I tried re uploading it, and it's the same res as the other photos, but it keeps uploading that way. Odd.
