Hello,
I'm new and would like to say hello to all. I have recently bought myself a Fuji S3 Pro and am getting down to some serious fun. Geez this is a nice camera. Here are two from my first attempt at interior available light shots.
Lense was Tokina 12-24, cam setting was 6MP and JPEG. I actually had it on iso800 by mistake.
I like doing stuff manually and I'm finding this cam talks the language. The images turned out a lot better than planned - more a case of the S3Pro working its magic rather than anything to do with me. To say I'm happy with my new S3 is a bit of an understatement.
I have posted these images on dpreview also asking for comment so I hope its OK if I do the same here.
Critical comment much apprecaited.
Cheers for now

Hi Geoff,
Its a $1.2 mil boat for sale by Ben Lexcen Marine here in Cairns. I tagged along with a friend who was invited out to see it after it arrived in Australia from being built overseas. Its hard for me to imagine parting with $1.2 mill for a 50' boat, but it is stunning.
Cheers

A good effort considering you only used available lighting. What always amazes me with interior boat shots is how the photographer manages to exaggerate the sense of space. Were you shooting at 12mm? These photos certainly convey that sense of space.
Or maybe its a really big boat.

Tango, good shots and would probably lift even more with a bit of post processing by a program such as photoshop or whatever came with your camera.
Jonas, 50' is a really big boat, I think these images accurately relay the size

Thank you Geoff, Jonas, Yi-P, Rainey, avkomp, Glen and marcotrov for your nice comments.
Jonas - Both images are at the extreme at 12mm but honestly what you see there is super close to how it really is. In fact this is another thing I'm pretty amazed about. I have learnt that when the cam is perfectly level when taking a super wide shot the results are so much different from taking the same shot with the camera not level.
Glen - They could but I tend to think less playing around with an image is always better. However, I appreciate your point, I'm quickly learning that post processing is a part of life in the digital world and I will need to work on getting familiar with Photoshop in order to churn out better results.
What a great little online community you have here. Very happy to be a part of it.
Cheers for now

Lovely shots Papa Tango.
The second one would look great in the marketing. 
The sky through the windows is just awesome. Well done.
Sold me on it. Now if only I could find a lazy $1.2m laying around somewhere.
