Not bad shots Ben. System looks good.
Your framing of the objects is decent. Try using 'fill in' flash if the subject is backlit (lit from behind). Don't forget the 'macro' facility for close ups, the shot of the Consonance amp would have been sharper.
You're doing pretty well if it's your first serious camera though. I've been taking photos for forty years and still cock some up.
Thanks for the comments Geoff,
Its only a Panasonic TZ70 Lumix

so I guess its not a "serious" serious camera but its light years ahead of anything I've ever had use of before. I just use it in auto mode for the time being but hope to progress onto the manual side of things at some point in the future........:eyebrows:

Bit of a coincidence. I've just bought its sister camera, the Lumix DMC-LF1, which is very similar. Bought to replace a very good Nikon P7100. I needed the EVF with dioptre adjustment for my crap eyesight and for shots in bright sunlight where a monitor screen is useless. It's also handy having a camera as good as these that actually fits in a pocket.
My Dad is an avid snapper and I took some advice from him on the camera purchase. I sent him loads of links to various cameras and he kept telling me to get the TZ70. We've just returned from a week on the Amalfi coast and we used it loads, the image quality when viewed on our 55 inch TV is stunning, really pleased with it and as you say about the LF1 its small enough to fit in a pocket which is a plus point.
Thought id post a quick pic of the Denon before it (hopefully) goes off to its new home.

2m Black due this weekend.......................:eyebrows::lol::)
I have also been in contact with Designbuildlisten who make the Wand tonearm. As mine is a fairly early classic model it came without an arm lift assembly (the Wand Plus model gets the armlift as standard). However Simon a DBL has offered to send me an armlift assemble to use on mine for a very reasonable outlay. Its being posted to me direct from new Zealand as we speak:D great service from DBL I have to say.
Good decks the srm's. Surprised you see so few forum users with them.
Yep very happy with mine tbh Grant. I may consider a move up the range at some point but it wont be for a while.Quote:

Sometime before xmas my lovely wife managed to knock the TT arm whilst removing its cover and this resulted in a thoroughly "effed" cart. As a stopgap I bought a DL110 but for me it seemed like a fairly big step down from the goldring and we both decided that it couldn't stay. Luckily I then managed to pick up a low hours 2m black from a very nice guy over on PFM.
I initially fitted the black myself and it sounded "OK" but was not tracking 100% correctly and it was only after Oldius popped round to check and sort my set up that things really started to sing.
So here's a few pics of it now set up and producing the goods. Those with an eye for detail may also note that the Wand now has a new arm lift assembly which means no more totally manual use thankfully, it can also be locked in position when not being used so hopefully this will avoid any further accidents!
pics to follow when photobucket stops messing me about!!
Real nice set up Ben. Loved my SRM, and that wand really goes well with it.
