My New Camera came in...

[Deez-67]

... So I was running around the house taking pictures of everything last night. I'm a bit new to photography and look forward to learning. I got the Panasonic DMC-GF5 (mirrorless) and it came with a 14-42mm starter lens. I'm looking forward to getting out of the house and playing some more.

Any tips are welcome

This thing doesn't weigh anything and is tiny.

Here are a few shots from around the house last night.

Those are some good starting shots man. Hit up youtube for some ideas, lessons, tips and tricks! I've learned a lot from there and am continuing to learn! It's fun stuff man! I do more video than photo but I like photography a lot! Also make sure you learn some post production too! Photoshop is a good tool to learn!

^ Thanks man.

One of the main resons I got this camera is it does full 1080 HD video. And I'm looking to get it on a WooKong or something like it.

Nice camera and good pictures but one question, why not get a DSLR? They are fairly cheap for a good entry level DSLR now days. Also, most, not if all, have 1080i/p video capabilities. If you want to get into photography and advance I highly suggest buying a DSLR. Regular digital camera have come a long way but they will never match a DSLR and a person who can learn to use one to its potential. Just some food for thought.

That thing is intense bro! My buddy is selling something similar except his has a camera in it an you control it with an iPhone or iPad. I think he was asking $250. I should be ordering my glidecam pretty soon which I'm pretty damn excited about.

This will get me some really smooth shots and looks freaking sweet! This guy uses a glidecam in all of his videos!



And here is him using it in that video.



Needless to say he makes some badass videos!

I want to incorporate that into the car scene and see what I come up with!

I read that but like I said, almost every DSLR has 1080HD recording capabilities and you have more room to grow with a DSLR. You can also do a lot more with a DSLR.
That's just my opinion as I feel once you get into videography or photography you will want something more than that.

Oh that's not my buddy man! I wish it was. Sorry I was referencing a buddy who had the flying camera thingy for sale! I'm just a fan of the YouTube guy! But I can't wait to get my glidecam and spend hours learning my editing software! I'm starting a youtube channel but its not gonna be like the other ones you have seen. There will be some aspects of reviews and stuff like that but I want to throw more of the artsy stuff at it and make it really interesting to watch!
