I agree but I find composition tough!  I can kind of do the easy easy  foreground and aft shots, but that waterfall shot  has all kind of good things going on in it. 

I actually took a 3 hour workshop/class through a local photographer that was just on photographic composition.  It was definitely helpful, the biggest help was learning how to frame shots.  Rule of thirds is a good thing to know.

I'll start posting some of my photo's mostly non fishing related.  I need to get up on the blue ridge and take some sunsets.  Its close I just ain't had the chance.  Also got a ton of water fall's around also.

This looks sweet.  Would make a great outdoor camera but for almost $800 I think I'll pass......

Pretty cool. I just wonder if they solved the focus issues from previous models (mostly video related, but photos, too, in the case of my camera and a few others I've seen in reviews).
I was born by the river in a little tent, And just like the river I've been running ever since, It's been a long, long time coming, But I know change is gonna come.

Four reasons to upgrade

1. Aperture priority exposure mode
2. Remote app / preview on your phone
3. Improved macro ring light add on
4. Depth of field multi exposure thing
F. Wi-fi file transfer

Looks like that Ring Light thingy will work on TG-1, 2, and 3!
It's just a light pipe from the LED flash to a plastic defuser ring.. , a little spendy at $60 n!n

The TG-3 offers four macro modes: Microscope, Microscope Control (maximum 44.5x magnification from 1cm), Focus Bracketing and Focus Stacking (multiple images are taken from foreground to background, and the areas in focus are automatically merged into one perfect shot). Add the new LED ring light and you've got a complete portable macro set-up.

I don't need this, but I do.  The focus stacking intrigues me.  My TG-1 has been good to me, hopefully it will continue that for a little while longer.

Focus stacking can be extremely useful for macro depth of field, if it actually works well with that little camera.  That's a lot of processing to ask of an in-camera option.  And I can only imagine it will require a very steady hand/tripod to work consistently well.

Here's an article about focus stacking in general - http://www.dpreview.com/articles/5717972844/focus-stacking-in-macro-photography

It can be done in photoshop, but unless you create an action or batch process for it (hard to do) it requires a lot of manual correction.

I still have a beater Canon 20d and just bought a "backup" 40d ( and looking for another one and a waterproof housing for it.  Point n shoots change all the time, but DSLR's and the pixel war is done - if it still functions, buy good glass and enjoy!!!!!!!

I took a few photo journalism classes (pre-digital) and loved shooting with my SLR. Switched to point and shoot when cameras went digital because DSLR was cost prohibitive. I've gone through several, not really liking any of them and came to the point that you and mike make. The technology changes too fast and a $300 camera is outdated in a year.
I'll keep on catching average or slightly above average fish and taking average pics.
