Ugh - I am just so frustrated at the moment. DPC has become such a life-line over the past year and a bit. Our camera (yep we share one: best beloved and myself) is in for repairs and it's been gone for 3 weeks and will only be back in a week's time. We had a great Centenary Celebration at church this last week: members brought along art works for display: I distracted myself a bit by getting some prints done of DPC submissions: must say that I impressed myself. It's been a looong time since I printed images.

Got them mounted and they did me proud. Now the celebration is over and I'm just itching to shoot something for the Duotones challenge:grrr...chewing at my nails. May be forced out there with my kid's point and shoot just to satisfy the desire.

You should!!! You could totally surprise yourself with how great an image you can make with a p&S. Remember- it's the photographer not the equipment! :0D

Frustrating, for sure. Been there.
Look what JeffryZ did with his point and shoot.

Go for it!

Plus, sometimes it really helps to expand your vision by making you operate in a different way or interact with reality differently. I bet you really surprise yourself!

...now I'm considering using my P&S for the next challenge....

P & S are much more capable of then we give them credit.

Okay this is crazy: I went out and shot an image I had been toying with - used my P+S (of the authentic kind) and on automatic...how more "from the hip" could one be! Got home and looked up the data: it's on 1/14s at f2.8 ...no tripod. Anyway processed according to my favourite procedures for duotones and found a fairly pleasing image which I submitted. It's been ages since I submitted anything and I'm strangely anxious about this one.

GOOD NEWS - camera repair people called this morning and said our baby is ready for collection.

Once you have some knowledge about Photography and Post Processing in your head.
You can shoot better with anything.
