TASMANIA, Australia: around the island in 14 days

[L-Young]

In case if you don't know, I'm a student studying in Tasmania. I'm currently in my second year- out of the 5 years (that is, if I don't fail...) that I'm going to stay here.

So, during my holidays in first year, my parents visited me. We rent a car & embarked on a 2 weeks tour around the island. Gosh I miss driving a car. Dissimilar to the wild, majestic landscapes of Europe, Tasmania has some unique rainforest and sceneries that can't be found in any other place on Earth. There was this forest which its trees have been growing for millenniums..

There are still a lot (more than 3000) of photos in my hard-disk and I really don't feel like going through, filtering and processing all of them. It's too darn troublesome.. That's the downside of shooting digital. Anyway, these photos are some of my shots that I got to PP- and amongst them are some film goodness as well (Can you spot them? )

Sorry for the grainy image, it's caused by poor compression.

Your series of photos is making me want a manual Nikon even even more. Haha.

Haha, by all means get one! It's very cheap on ebay. Nikon FE with a whole lot of lenses for less than USD200... I've seen it lol.

[chiwee]

Seriously? But.. I think getting it from ebay is not an option for me for now. I dont have a credit card. Anyway, what do you recommend? FE's? FM's? FG's? or FA's? what are the main differences anyway?

The color looks a bit saturated. Did you do anything on PS?

Hello
erm for some of the digital photos I PP-ed on Lightroom, but I didn't change much about saturation. Shot in JPEG vivid mode though, that's why. And also cos I used polariser, that's why colour quite saturated.
film shots I didn't tweak much as well, added some vignette and mild adjustments.

Lol, FE, FM, and FA are great cameras, just with different levels of automation. FG is the entry-level camera of these with more basic functions.
