Thrifty Thursdays feature photographs taken with equipment costing less than $500.
A major challenge with digicam photography is the backdrop. The wide angle and profound depth of field render digicam compositions cluttered and overly busy. Restricting the background to a single color or texture- in this case the underside of a lettuce leaf- avoids the clutter and makes for a more pleasing photograph.
I really like Thrifty Thursday and I hope you keep it up – even if it tends to make me less satisfied with my pictures, it does provide hope for better ones.
My DMZ-FZ28 cost just over five hundred, but that was in the old Canadian dollars before they became so robust, so probably still under your limit.
Hey! That image is very similar to what I took using my ~$500 Canon G2 camera last summer…
