The compact camera picture thread!

Panasonic's GM5 is amazingly compact, especially with the 12~32mm lens fitted. Oddly enough, the red version seems less noticeable than the black. :thinking:

Some examples...

Today's Point and shoot adventures on a dog walk around Severn Valley country park , I again found myself struggling with subjects but came up with a few I'll maybe try the close to me Wyre forest in the future.


This one benefited from using flash

I also found a video I took with this camera on 27th December 2005 of snow falling :D

PS.
What's the oldest digital compact picture you have? Mine seems to be Christmas day 2005 which I think is when I got this Medion, as a present.

I thought it was Casio EX-P600, 4th July 2004, crack in my car's windscreen. But then I found this from 8th December 2002, Minolta Xi

I thought I was a bit of a hold out as I carried on with film whilst people around me were going digital. My first digital camera was a Fuji F602 Pro Zoom and I've found some pictures taken with it in September 2003. They must be amongst my first digital pictures. I couldn't get on with that camera, sold it and bought a Canon 300D which was my first DSLR.
 
Although I was dabbling earlier, I switched when we went to NZ late in 2003 and I took a Minolta A1 plus the Xi. With its 28-200mm equivalent lens the A1 must be the forefather of Sony's RX10. Mrs S carried on with film for a while but then gave up and is now my artistic director......

Very nice shot John, well composed with some lovely colours. Must admit I'm not normally into Butterfly/Moth type shots but this one really appeals to me.
 
Why are you pointing that thing at me? Nikon Coolpix S10...

"The Old Signal Box"

Just a simple architectural type Snapograph taken at Kent UK of the "Old Signal Box" at the now disused Folkestone Harbour Stn. The signal box is now a cafeteria and the station has now been turned into a tourist attraction with weekly markets and other things held on the renovated platforms.

These didn't quite work out as I was hoping , I'll blame it on the fact it was bright and I couldn't see the screen. Merry Hill Shopping centre taken from Netherton Dudley.Quick snaps while I was working to see if it was worth coming back with a better camera.

Cheers. Rufus was (I nearly wrote ”is” :( ) a Fell Terier which is the local working breed round here.

The Powershot is appropriate because it was the first digicam I bought after seeing family snaps that Rufus’ breeder was taking with a Casio, I think 1 mega pixie camera and printing on his B&W cheapo inkjet on A4 laser paper. Obviously they were ‘rubbish’ but I was impressed — I’d always liked high contrast grainy monochrome (and colour no one seems to remember GAF 500 now :) ) anyway.

The breeds people come up with always surprise me but given they are fairly rare you could go your whole life without seeing one :).

In the original pic it’s Rufus, Fell Terrier on the left and Pippin, Basenji on the right and Pippin again standing on his own.

The only connection between Basenjis and Brian Plummer that I know of is that in one of his books he relates working as a dog trainer to get some cash and that the one thing that taught him was that it is impossible to train a Basenji. That's fair comment, they will only do things they want to do and have no interest in pleasing you like other dogs :).

I can’t recommend anyone to get a Basenji as a companions though I would have no other. Ditto really for Fells as they have a hunting drive that has to be experienced to be believed. Basenji too, but it’s tempered by a scavenging drive as you might expect from an African village dog. :)

Plummer did use Fell Terriers (along with much else) developing his terrier but I think most them are more ‘bully’ than Fell’s, obvious in the jaws. That’s a common look among terriers I’ve seen at ‘working terrier’ shows but I’m not so sure most of them are worked.

Iv lost touch with the Plummer terriers clubs of late but I think the dna tests from a few years ago showed a little basenji blood in some of the lines , mr Plummer I’m reliable informed didn’t always write down exactly what he mated to what .

Interesting. Actually my friend who bred my Fell Rufus, said he fancied he could see some ‘Basenji‘ in his feet -- he was familiar with my dogs. It was entirely possible as he’d been breeding them for decades and originally had them from the father of a friend who’d bred them for a long time and his friend told me his dad had tried basenjis in the past.

Funny thing is I know arguably less about Pippin’s ancestry despite being a KC breed. since his gggsire was born in the Congo (Zaire) around 1990 ;)and was one of what the Americans call the “New Africans” -- they opened their stud book to admit him and others. I may have a snap of one of his siblings somewhere which will also be with the Canon A40.
