nmainguy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Wonderfull pictures, Montrose. Thanks. What kind of camera are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Wonderfull pictures, Montrose.Thanks. What kind of camera are you using? Kodak Easy Share DX7630 (6.1 mega pixels). I'm sure one could produce "top drawer" pictures with it, but I still don't know how to work it properly. And my hand shakes when I hold still for too long... I think I need a tri-pod. and I use a 1.0 gib. chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxDave Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have not been back to Houston recently, but your pics show me a lot of the things I would like to see. In fact, these are many of the shots I would like to take myself, when I return to visit.Thank you for showing me so much of Houston that I want to see now.

Jeebus Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 my hand shakes when I hold still for too long... I think I need a tri-pod.Try a mono-pod. It's basically a stick with a camera mount on the end. Its easier to travel and take photographs on the go with. This is the one I would recommend: Bogen Manfrotto Monopod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one I would recommend: Bogen Manfrotto Monopod Jeebus, Do you still have to hold it still if you don't have dirt to spike it in? Is there a base pad accessory so it can stand alone on hard surfaces? I have the same problem montrose has-I can't hold it steady on my own for very long. Thanks.

Thanks. you still have to hold the monopod, but its much easier to hold still then the camera itself. i would recommend a cheap mini tripod, still small and portable, and gets the job done for amatuers.

Montrose1100 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 thank you all for the compliments... But skyechas, how did they comfort you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyechas Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Having seen many great cities, I wasn't impressed with Houston when I moved (for a job). I once read a description of the city as the biggest smalltown in the US (by locals) and I thought that was fairly accurate. Since I plan to stay for awhile, I wanted reassurance that Houston is more than that. I thought there must be SOMETHING in here. And I guess the photos in this forum provided a lot of those things. You and all the photo contributors here revealed the hidden beauty of the city and I'm starting to warm up to it. I'm still exploring. Thanks again.
