+EtrexRose Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Hey, I am just curious any geocachers take their Geocaching time and also take pictures of the areas they go to. I have an Olympus c-4000 and I always take my camera and take some cool pictures in the sometimes remote places geocaching takes me. I do what I gotta do, when I GOTTA do it. Quote Link to comment
+OzzieSan Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Always have at least one of my cameras with me at all times. Caching, Bencmark Hunting, Hiking... Just remember. Getting there is half the fun... Quote Link to comment
+Og's outfit Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I always take my camera too. You just never know when someone will slip or trip over a log! Those pics are the best! I say, "Are you all right? Good. Now don't move until I get a picture!!" AHHH.....the memories! That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving! Quote Link to comment
Tickridge Photo Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I always have some of my equipment with me. You never know when you'll see the shot, or find a flower you've never seen before. I always load my camera in the geo-pack. Tickridge Photography Where we "Line'em up and Shoot'em all" Quote Link to comment
+jtice Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I NEVER leave home witout my etrex Vista and digital camera. Canon A10,,,, BEST CAM UNDER $250. Plan on getting a G3 some day,,,, when I win the lottery. Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 jtice, Just got my G3 the other day. I really like it. Yeah.. it's expensive.. but I just bit the bullet and now I'm eating Ramen for a while. There are a few issues with the camera, but none that would make me not purchase it. Anwyay, that's off-topic. Hopefully, my cache logs will be accompanied by photos now that I have a convenient digital camera. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I just picked up a point and shoot digital camera (Fuji A201) and plan to add pictures to a lot of my logs from now on. It sure beats having to wait to finish off a long roll of film then trying to remember which picture is which. PDOP's GPS Pages Quote Link to comment
dboggny Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 i just got the new N75 by Nikon with a 28-80 lens and a 80-300 telephoto. it is the closest thing to the F100 that i use at work. it seems to be a really good camera. We also have a Kodak 2mp digital as well. i love to take pictures, prefer 35mm. i also have a negative/ slide scanner from monolta so i can still make my photos digital. i prefer to use emulsion media vs. digital but that is pretty much because i have gotten over my fear of. having to have each photo come out perfect or i am an utter failure issue. now, i just shoot and play with parameters and scan only the ones i like and hope that they are all usable. i take better stills then action shots.

+Alan2 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Since getting my Canon 230 (clips to my belt) caching has become more fun. Posting pctures from my cache hunt adds to the pleasure. Definitely get one, preferably small, IMO http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/log/1354819_200.jpg alan. Quote Link to comment
+Bloencustoms Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Does the G3 Cannon use EOS lenses? I have a couple of zooms and a teleconverter for a Rebel 2000, and I'd like to find a digital camera that allows me to use them. "Searching with my good eye closed" Quote Link to comment
+Alan2 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Here's a Forum for Canon users. There's also a Canon DSLR users forum and lets of other great info on digital cameras in general. Check out the camera reviews too. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1010 Alan Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 quote:Originally posted by BloenCustoms:Does the G3 Cannon use EOS lenses? I wish. Unfortunately digital SLR's are still far beyond my price range. The cheapest Canon digital SLR's are in the neighborhood of $1500. The best models run about $7000. I did choose the G3 because of its lens, though. It's a (35mm equivalent) 35-140 F2.0/F3.0 max aperature. That's 1/2 stop better than some and a full stop faster than other digital cameras. It has many similar controls to an SLR such as hot shoe, tripod mount, manual aperature and shutter controls. I've been an SLR guy for several years now, so it took a huge leap for me to dive into a point-and-shoot digital, but I'm happy. No, it's still no SLR, but it's close, plus it's fairly light and compact--which is a whole lot nicer than lugging around my SLR and accompanying lenses. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+Cachetrotters Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 We, too, always take a digital, and if I'm in the mood to carry it, my Maxuum 7 in a camera backpack. I considered getting a better digital, but decided to get a very good scanner(Epson 2400). Adds versatility at home and in the field. Now I can get really GOOD pictures with the SLR while caching and scan/upload when developed. don Quote Link to comment

+Ttepee Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I don't know why they have the link for the gallery pages hidden away on the contact page but in case you don't know about it check it out. The gallery updates pretty much the same as most recent cache logs page does. It's a fun way to see the kinds of caches and fun people are having around the world. Quote Link to comment
+Navdog Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Caching and photography has ben a fun mix for me. Our Moondog3 website has lots of pics of our caching adventures. I also know Zzzoey and Illdrive. These cachers really enjoy posting some nice photos of their caching trips also. The adventures of Navdog, Justdog, and Otterpup Quote Link to comment
gprecon Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I'm probably more a "geophotographer" than I am a geocacher! ... if that makes any sense. I've had a Canon Powershot G2 for a year and a half now, and I take it literally everywhere. Its the best money I've ever spent in addition to a 512 meg CF card! I recently purhchased Adobe Photoshop Album to manage all of my digital photos and I love it. I'm setting up my own web site called GPRECON.COM which is basically going to consist of detailed photo albums of my adventures. Here is my adventure from last Saturday - it is basically a bunch of geocache, scenery, and Jeep pictures: http://www.gprecon.com/gallery.asp?folder=frackville1 I love "geophotography"!

+TX Hokie Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Well, after reading about all the fun everyone's having with their digital cameras, I just ordered a Canon Powershot A70. In all fairness, I've been thinking about getting a digital cam for a while, just finally bit the bullet. Got a pretty good deal, I think - camera plus a 256MB card for around $280 after $20 rebate (and that includes TX sales tax) from a deal on the Dell website. Check out www.headlinedeals.com if interested - I think one of the coupons is only good today 5/13, but there are always good deals listed there. The problem now is we have 2 regular 35mm cameras, the new digital, and a DV video camera. Need a bigger pack! TX Hokie Quote Link to comment
+Georat Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 While my Canon Powershot G2 is on the big side for caching, half the fun is taking a great shot and posting it on the cache/benchmark web site. Hopefully others will enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy looking at theirs. Quote Link to comment
+DapperDanMan Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I usually take my Digital Camera with me when I cache. Below is a picture I took off my last cache. I have been introducing geocaching to my brother who is a professional photographer. His site is http://www.willieholdman.com Quote Link to comment
