    What did you get ????

  • Jenni77 replied

    Thanks. I got the Olympus E510. I used to have the E500, but it got stolen about a month ago, along with our laptop. The insurance finally came through a few days ago, and I got upgraded to the E510…...which I’m very happy about as it’s a better camera.

    This photo was previously admitted to the group Photography 101. I like it alot,however, the group guidelines ask for an explanation in your description about the photography aspects of the work. Can you please give more detail about your camera, lens, settings, what photography techniques you used, etc? I’ll check back again later to see if it meets guidelines, but if not, I will have ot remove it. Please remember its not a personal thing, but we would liek this group to be a learning group for others. You can resubmit it at any time with the forementioned changes! Thank you!
