Poona in Aqua Blue
Poona!
No, that's not a slang term for... something... but the name of a tiny town of 500 people that's on the coast of Queensland.
Today, we finally managed to find some time to actually leave the house and give my camera a little work out before I replace it with a far superior model in a couple of months! 😃
It was pretty cold today. It doesn't really get that cold here, as opposed to my old town where we would often have -5 Celsius mornings... normally here we get 7 Celsius mornings, today we woke up to a 2 degree morning.
Of course we decided to go to the beach on the coldest day of the year so far. xD
For today's photos, whilst editing one of the many seagull photos I took, I randomly made the water an aqua blue and that was it. All the photos I took today had to be edited in a similar manner. I really liked it.
Did I say something about a new camera model up there near the start of the post?
Yes! Yes, I did. I'm excited to be able to replace my Nikon D5000 body with that of a D7500 in the near future. I originally wanted the D7200 but I can only obtain a secondhand version of that, so the next model up it will have to be.
Either way! It will be an immense upgrade and I can't wait to have a new toy to play with.
The D5000 is great and all for a budget beginner-friendly DSLR, but I want something a little more now. Something more professional. Something with more capability. I've had my D5000 since 2010.
It's been twelve years. It is time. Time to upgrade.
I, the great babbler, don't have much to babble about today. So, please enjoy my aqua blue photos! 😊
Until next time!! ❤️
is d5000 a full frame?
swapping it to a full-frame would mean a serious leap forward, at least it was so for me, when I changed canon 350d to 5d.
great place to walk, explore and take pictures! and probably dangerous. is that a mangro tree on the last photo?
!PIZZA
The D5000 isn't a full-frame... and now that you've brought it up, neither is the D7500.
I didn't really take that into consideration when thinking of an upgrade, but now it makes so much sense. Today in particular it would have come in handy. I was taking photos of my son, and of course his feet were cropped out when I was certain they were in-frame. A full-frame camera would not have had that issue!
I might need to do a little more thinking when it comes to my upgrade in coming months...
Yes! It was a lovely place to walk! :) lots of mangroves around. It's not too dangerous where we were, but the danger is always a possibility:
I know, read a lot about mangow environment. it isnt healthy doesnt matter with or without crocodiles.... ;))))
as for full-frame -- in brief -- it gives more abilities to focus manually, thus benefits greatly for macro photoshoot and shooting with manual (vintage, cheap, and great) lens. and dont say 'that you are not going to implement this'. thats exactly what I said about opportunities for photographer's skills. besides that, full frame really benefits a lot to the quality of a picture. really!
as I understand the case (was in same position a decade ago) - you do want some growth, and old camera do not support it. or, if thats not the case, you may get a little compact camera, with a video option, not a DSLR... tho they are not cheap. ok.... anyway -- wish you well! 👍
I only use my manual focus. I find that autofocus never focuses where I would like it to, so I've always used the manual settings. 🙂 I won't be getting a compact camera... that's a bit of a downgrade, haha. But I will be reconsidering which direction I will be going with my upgrade! Cheers! 🍻
oh -- RESPECT! you have come half the way to the macro photographer skills, then, hehe.
wish you a good consideration and a happy, fruitful result.
I never had a modern compact camera, as they produce them now, but I rather think its a good thing, not necessarily a downgrade. . . if only money was not a question, I'd happily buy one (from the top part of a list) to have opportunity to carry TWO CAMERAS with me... with video option included, and with option momentarily take some capture without more or less timely manual work. but, ihm, these are only considerations ;) meanwhile I stick to my old Canon 5D and just invest money into lens arsenal, when I have such a chance. Got some decent amount of toys to play at the moment, and what I want to say -- having them attached to the full-frame, is much more fun, compared to a crop camera. thats is it. 😋

LMFAO Your winter is my summer!
Our average temps for July are around 7.5C up here in this particular area of Nunavut (Much like Australia, the temps can vary wildly depending on where you live).
Do you think you will go mirrorless when you upgrade cameras? Personally I don't like the form factor of a lot of mirrorless cameras. They all feel like my grandmas crappy Kodak she kept in her purse.Edit: Missed the paragraph where you mentioned your upgrade. Derp! I agree with other commenters, go full frame if you can. I have the d750 and full frame is so nice to have. Sadly, since you probably only own FX lenses (crop sensor lenses) you will have to buy new glass to fully utilize that new sensor. So, if that is a factor for you, I would actually suggest sticking with the crop sensor d7500
That's a cold summer! Haha! xD
I was contemplating mirrorless, simply because I rely on my live-view a lot and with my camera in particular what I see is -not- what I get. Mirrorless would help that immensely!
Price is a huge factor in my upgrade though, and also the ability to use my existing lenses. I'm considering the full-frame D750 now instead of the D7500... but, I still have a couple of months of researching properly before making a real decision. :D
And I saw your edit after I commented! XD
DECISIONS DECISONS!!!!!!
Now, don't get me wrong, you will NOT be unsatisfied with a full frame camera using your FX lenses. I honestly can't tell a difference when I use an FX lens once its in the PC. And the D750 has a handy-dandy extra square in the viewfinder to highlight where you have to frame the shot for the smaller sensor. If I remember correctly I accidentally started a fight between two photographers when asking about FX lenses on a DX body, and they both seemed to be arguing the same point, just differently; "You get reduced resolution, but the pixel density of the sensor stays the same, so an FX lens will be just as sharp as the sensor allows on a DX body"
The thing that I am ashamed to admit about my cameras, tho is that I'm constantly reaching for my inferior P900 with the fake "2,000mm" lens because it has much further reach than my 600mm Tamron while only weighing about a kilo instead of around FOUR!
Yeeeeessss.... weight is another thing I'm considering in my upgrade, haha. My D5000 is pretty light at 590g, and the D7500 is slightly heavier than that at... 630g I think it was. My D5000 with 55-200mm lens kills my arms after a while, so I don't want my new body to be tooooo much heavier. xD
Good job starting arguments! Haha! 🤣
They are good images, I don't imagine what you can do with a better team. I congratulate her for her work.
