Blurred Bush Image

Blurred images seem to be trendy these days. So here is one for you to look at. This one is extra blurred, so you can't really make out exactly what it is. But see further down for a sharper, more in focus version of an image taken at the same time the blurred one was taken. Pictures were taken with a Canon Powershot S2 IS.

Pretty Purple Flower Weed UK

A pretty purple flower growing on waste ground in the UK. I'm not sure if this should be called a weed, because it certainly doesn't look like any weed that I know. But it was growing wild in the middle of nowhere, in quite a baron landscape, so it could very well be. It's definitely a hardy flower. Picture was taken with a Canon IXUS 127 HS. Do you know the name of this flower? If so post the identification by dropping a comment below.

Nikon D3100 DSLR Camera Sample Photos

Here are some quick sample photos taken with the Nikon D3100 DSLR camera. This camera is classed as an entry-level DSLR. But don't be fooled by that "entry level" label, the D3100 is a very capable camera (even with the kit lens), with the ability to take excellent quality photographs. As you can see with the few examples below. They are not full size, but have been made smaller in order to not make this post too slow to load.

As I'm sure you are aware, Nikon is a well-known camera manufacturer that produces high-quality digital cameras and lenses. The Nikon 14.2 megapixel D3100, in 2022 is a somewhat older addition to its lineup of DSLR (Digital single lens reflex) cameras. The D3100 combines a modern design with user-friendly features and excellent image quality. See below for image examples. The D3100 is a good choice for beginners and experienced users alike.

The D3100 has several enhancements over previous models that improve usability and functionality. For starters, the camera has a straightforward design that is easy to understand and use. Most controls are located on the top or back of the camera with minimal buttons on the body. This makes it easy to use the camera without looking at the menu screens or adjusting settings manually. In addition, the Nikon D3100 can shoot high-quality images in just about any lighting situation thanks to its versatile built-in flash unit. Lastly, it comes with several software tools that can enhance your photography further.

The Nikon D3100 is a good and very popular first DSLR camera for beginners since it has simplified controls and plenty of shooting options without bogging down performance. It's also quite small and handles image processing well for better image quality without degradation from noise suppression or compression.

Plus, even a complete novice can get good results in many situations due to its solid auto features, exposure tracking capabilities and exposure compensation dials. Low-light performance is also pretty impressive. All this makes for a very versatile beginner’s DSLR for those on a budget that gets you started off on the right foot without emptying your bank account first.

Nikon cameras are known for their solid build and good image / video quality, which is why many professional photographers choose Nikon over other brands. The same applies to the D3100 since it has excellent durability and performance at an affordable price point compared to other models in its class. Although, I have to admit, I prefer Canon over Nikon.

But anyway, this model also has a largely dustproof construction and of course has tripod mounting abilities and more. It has many standard features found on higher end models [and many cheaper non-DSLR models too] but included on a lower cost model as well. But do note: It is not waterproof. In short, if you want your money’s worth from a digital SLR camera this one will definitely deliver. If you can't find this model for sale, checkout the equally as good if not better Nikon 3200 or 3500 [excellent].
