The second and the fourth seems to have very high ISO settings, or that grainy textrue came from heavy JPG compression?

[Jarrett]

O just grain plugin I use sometimes...it's not really degrading the picture. They were all shot at ISO 100. :cool:

One from about 4 months ago. I've been waiting for the plane to fly over my backyard for an hour :) ...

Wow that doesn't just look like any plane too. How did you know it would happen :confused:

Lol, sorry for my bad expression :) . That was one of the few mosquito fogging planes, that flew over the town area that day. We have mosquitos here in summer, and this type of planes are used. The picture itself is interesting because it captures a plane that is flying so low...

hello! just got my s6500fd this december, my brother gave it to me as his Christmas gift.. i would like to be a member on this thread, how can i do this? should i post directly or should be a member first? :)

I pronounce you Member of this thread!

Now you can post freely. Please don't hesitate :P ...

Hello everyone,
Been a while but I've managed to tear myself away from RL long enough to get some shots at the Winter Carnival. These are from the ice carving contest and they are quite well done but the best show is the actual carving itself, which unfortunately I did not get to in time.
Anyway, enjoy the sculptures.

IMHO, I think it would have been better if you took pictures with the buildings as a background, just like the one with a cowboy, beacouse of the snow - it's ruining the ice textures :) ...

ya what I really needed was to be about 2 hours later so that the sun was completely down. Then I would be dealing w/ backlit sculptures instead of trying to get a nice reflection from the sun but I was on a schedule and was lucky to get the shots when I did since I don't get down that way very often.

[thunderchase]

Ok, I'm not saying they are bad, just wanted to give you some feedback :)...

The photo before the last one - is the lens covered with snowflakes :) ?

[Spinning]

nope Believe it or not it was the wind kicking up the snow! I had the camera fairly zoomed out. from the combo of the wind and my son trying to get into the tree it made it look like it was snowing again but with the sun out!

Etimyotics eh? very cool! :cool:

[Jarrett]

Yep. Ety's are the old ones though, the left channel died. The other photo is Head-Direct RE2.

[thunderchase]

Nice pictures, Jarret, some of them are real artworks...

[Jarrett]

Thanks so much :)

I truly wonder how much longer people are going to hang on to this camera with all the new technology out. My one and only choice for replacement would be the Panasonic G1. The downsides have pretty much been remedied by now: Auto WB has been improved since launch, new lenses have been announced, and no video (who cares). It's about the most perfect camera I can think of!

[Spinning]

I wonder about that too....I already know my next camera will be a DSLR. I really like this camera but it has its limits on what I want to take photos of. Indoor springboard diving and swimming. Out side it is fine. Would like a zoom lens too...so the only option for me is DSLR....I plan to get the Nikon D90.

[Jarrett]

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3638/3348384852_e6b22a2fdb.jpg

[shahmatt]

I'll probably be hanging on to my Fuji a little longer. Many a time have I been tempted to switch to the DSLR world, but really you know I've got to say I'm happy with this camera. It doesn't take the cleanest images at high ISOs (given the competition now), but the versatility of its lens is a good compromise. AA batteries are so handy and having RAW is a scream. My only lament is that its a little heavy. I've learned to deal with that.

My future DSLR can wait...

Behind the gate is a usual yard with some fruit trees, in riverside, near my town...

Other pictures were shot with super macro, and I had to apologize them for disturbing :P ...

[thunderchase]

I like 2nd from the first set, and 1st and 3rd from the second... Are they all shot in raw?

----

Yes Paul, it does have long strong legs. And Fuji is having a hard time replacing S6000/S6500fd like they can't come up with a replacement for F31.
There is Dpreview's review on F200EXR with image samples and the comment "Fujifilm promised the F200 EXR would improve on that performance, but doesn't appear to have quite delivered the goods."

They will follow up with a long zoom based on F200EXR formula. However if the F200 sample image is any indication, don't expect the S6000's replacement to have better image quality just yet; so hang on to your S6000 a couple of years more.

[thunderchase]

Paul, I noticed you have very nice sky there where you live. Amazing play of the clouds, with all colors...

[P_Schneider]

And last but not least, the joust shot. These 2 females were getting kind of feisty trying to claim dominance over the feeder. In the end they chased each other around for a bit and ended up eating together once they ran out of gas so to speak. :D

They get used to you after a while. They're spooked pretty easily for a week or so but once they get used to you they will not only come up to feed while you're there but will interact with you as well.
It's not uncommon for the birds to be hovering right next to your head or landing on the feeder before you even get it out of your hands when hanging a fresh bottle. Pretty cool little birds actually and I count myself lucky that I get to get to enjoy them.

Great set of photos.
I made my first post on youtube using my Fuji S6000 video last week. It did well at a indian powwow. Sound was better than many posted on there.

Thanks :D

You know I might pick-up a film camera and this to rest for a while. I've been using those Fuji disposables (ISO 400) the past weeks and they are a lot of fun and learning how to edit film pics is interesting too!

Hehe, nice pics indeed :) ...

Graffiti tower FTW! And that one with you in the reflection...

[Jarrett]

A lot of my friends liked that reflection, thanks. One commented that they thought I was looking out from the inside because of the dark edges...and the doggy :)

Since then I've been goofing off with the disposables and now I own an Olympus Trip 35 soooo not really appropriate for this thread :confused:

Definitely buddy me on flickr though!

I keep being impressed with drops after the rain, and we get it pretty much here this summer, which isn't quite nice :) ...

Here's on I took of my new bicycle :D

[thunderchase]

Very nice looking bike... Can you post a photo displaying it entirely?

[wutske]

This is the bik, a Trek T80

[thunderchase]

Looks like the one I'd like to buy :) ... Seems it has all equipment... Wish you many joyful rides :P ...

Thanks ;)

First one a bit underexposed, but nice composition...

I like the last one...

[wutske]

Thanks :) . First one is indeed underexposured, but it makes the flower itself stand out a bit more from the rest of the picture.

[thunderchase]

You're right, the picture itself has its own appealing tone...

The second one is similar to mine from the previous page, with a piece of a roof tile :) ...

[thunderchase]

Those watermarks sux!!

[wutske]

Why does everybody have such problems with watermarks :p

I removed them for you ;)

[thunderchase]

Because pictures are great, and there's no need to "protect" them that way, it ruins them...

[harrisnick]

Hello All, I am Harris.
I tried powering up my s6000 yesterday and nothing. Last time i used , the battries died and I put in recharged battries and when I turned the dial to power up the camera, it made a clicking sound and then nothing.

What might have happened. Last time it worked flawlessly. Do I need to send it in for service.

I appreciate all the help.
Thank you.

[thunderchase]

Looks like your other batteries are depleted, too.

[Jarrett]

This Fuji is getting a little old, just doesn't have the ultimate resolving power or colour rendering for realistic enough photos. Just my opinion from what I've seen of the modern compacts.

[gib786]

Nice to see people are still using their s6500's. Mine has been sat on the shelf gathering dust for months now. Planning on dusting it off and taking some photos in the coming weeks, so will post em on here when I do :)

That happened to me after putting in fresh batteries... it turned out i hadn't shut the door where the card goes properly. :o

I'm amazed to see this thread still going and some of the great shots you guys have been taking.

Well done Fuji ( shame they still haven't found a proper replacement for the ageing beast )and well done to Paul for getting the thread started in the first place. :)

[thunderchase]

Yea, that's too bad, this amazing camera is still without a child :) ..

Who knew the legs this thread would have? Or that the camera was worthy of carrying it this far? Still glad I have mine.

Here's one for 2010

Assembly required:
Triple layer Lasagna ;-)

Here's a shot from this morning. A fog had rolled in overnight and put a nice coating of frost on everything for me.

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/600 second ===> 1/60 second ===> 0.01667 second

May I ask for a macro shot of that frost on your car? :)

[Gordon D]

Love the last B/W shot Paul.. are you still shooting in RAW and converting to JPEG?

The FinePix HS 10 might be a proper replacement for the S6000fd :)

12/10/2006 - 4/29/2010

Not too shabby:)

Thanks everyone for sharing.

[Mileater]

Hmmm... let's not be too hasty to pull the curtain down on this one :) My first post on this (or any other Photography Forum) and as a soon-to-be owner of an S6500FD, I would be keen to keep this going as I will need some help from the experts that I have seen operating in this thread.
I currently own two Fujis, an S3000 purchased in 2003 (I think) and a S1500 purchased last year (2010) and have enjoyed both. As my understanding of the operation of these two improved, my expectations of my results increased but I soon hit the limitations and started looking for something a bit more advanced in the manual modes and higher IQ output. After much research I settled on the S6000/6500 as a suitable step up (and this thread only reinforced my desire). After months of hunting around, I finally managed to obtain one, second hand, through the local auction site at a reasonable price - Boy! These things are hard to find and they sure command a good price, so the owners certainly know a good camera when they see one :) I expect to see it arrive tomorrow or the next day and am looking forward to using it.

Finally, many thanks to all those who have contributed photos and tips to this thread - it has been very instructive and informative.

Cheers,
Allan

[tony.roberts]

Great photos guys! I'm glad I stumbled upon this threat because I have been considering by the S6k for myself as an upgrade and these just made me more confident about the decision! Soon as I get it purchased I will post some amazing pictures!

[P_Schneider]

Well everyone it's been a while. Good to see the thread alive and well. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for my much loved S6k. The internal battery died on it around June and finally I started getting card errors in Sept. and by halloween it wouldn't even power up :(

I'm not sure of the total pictures taken but I was on pace for around 10k a year so somewhere in the ballpark of 60k pictures shot, many of which I have shared here with you fine folks.
Not bad in today's world of '6 month tech.'

Appropriately enough this shot is from the final batch of pictures taken.

Oh btw,
before everyone gets too bummed out for me, here is a shot from my new HS20 :D

[Phill D]

I'd say it was in good hands from those shots. Glad you found a good replacement, it's often very difficult to make that step when you've started with a camera that performs so well for you.

[tim11]

It's good to see this great thread is still hanging around..... :)
