What these amazing peeps have achieved with a P&S!

[Lisa Pouncy]

I just wanted to give a shout out to these ladies who've all created some wonderful shots with simple point and shoot cameras and would love to see what others have managed to do :o)

@tori 3012 Always manages to be so elegant with her shots. Here's one of her beautiful shots


@bec01 This lady has a fantastic creative flair


@michelleyoung Wow! Amazing water shots and so much more


It would be fabulous for other people to share their own pics and the P&S camera you use x

[Flamez]

im amazed at what people can acheive using a point and shoot :)

i have to mention my son , not only is he using a £30 point and shoot but also hes only 12 :

[Katherine Hodgson]

I didn't have an SLR up until Nov last year. Here are some examples of what I achieved. (I hope the links work...)

Every photo in that gallery is taken with a P&S :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

@flamez You should absolutely mention him Rachel. He obviously has his Mother's eye for being creative, plus a very good teacher. I'm trying to persuade my son to start 365 so maybe he'll be on here soon xx

[Flamez]

@psychographer ~ thankyou :) im amazed he managed water so well with his P&S hes really enjoying it too :) if your son starts b sure to let us know and me and marcus will follow him :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

@mizikei They are amazing Katherine. Wonderful photos and although I have serious camera envy we can all see how possible it is to get some great shots without having a DSLR x

[Lisa Pouncy]

@flamez I will :o) He's 14 and I bought him a camera for Christmas (mine's 4 years ols now and I think his is better than mine!) I've told him there are other youngsters on here so fingers crossed he'll give it a go xx

[Martha]

Big up the point and shoot massiv! I too have camera envy along with a distinct lack of disposable income, but I have been quite happy with how some of my P&S shots have come out. I've got a Canon Powershot A3100 which is so cheap and rubbish it feels like a disposable camera! Here are a couple of my favourites:

[Katherine Hodgson]

@psychographer
Thanks! You have some fabulous pictures yourself as well :D x

[Lisa Pouncy]

@wrighty Absolutely big it up Martha! I'm lovin' how you're all producing such amazing shots x

[Lisa Pouncy]

@mizikei Thankyou Katherine. I sometimes feel like my camera is possibly the cheapest and smallest of anyones :o)xx

[Martha]

@psychographer go team! I see you have a Canon Ixus 75. Aaah I had one of those and I loved it so much! Unfortunately it was stolen from my bag in London and I couldn't afford to replace it like for like :( You've taken some beautiful shots with it :)

[Karen Mitchell]

These are my fave pictures taken with my trusty little P&S, a 3 year old Nikon Coolpix :)

[Flamez]

there are some aweome point and shoot shots here ! wow !

[Stephanie]

My whole 265 is point and shoot if people want to see it(:

[Juliette Packham]

this was with my P&S - I reckon over 2/3 of my album is with P&S - wouldn't swap it for anything!!

[Kerri]

My sister uses a point and shot! Here are some of her pictures:

[Lisa Pouncy]

@minxymissk @sparkle @kerristephens @blackandwhite3 Thank you all for contributing. I'm a complete newbie and know nothing at all about photography so it's nice to see other people have taken some great photos with plain old P&S. I sometimes feel a little overwhelmed by all the jargon used :oS

[Dawna VanOverschelde]

I get frustrated with my Sony Cyber-shot sometimes, but here's a couple shots I've managed to get:

[Lisa Pouncy]

@dawnie Beautiful Dawna and I absolutely love your baby chicks :o) You've come on in leaps and bounds since the start of this project. Keep up the good work xx

[Vicky G]

This was a tough choice since my whole project is with my P&S...anyone who likes what they see here feel free to check out the rest...but here are some of my faves so far:

[Lisa Pouncy]

@cheetah1713 Love your use of colour Vicky. I think that's the point of my starting this discussion. Some of us have no choice but to use a P&S. I'd love to upgrade but just haven't the money to spend on another camera so we make the most of what we have and sometimes have to be a little more creative but still get some incredible photos :o)xx

[Aaron Wilder]

[Aaron Wilder]

A photo from earlier this week with my PowerShot.

[Lisa Pouncy]

@wilder Gorgeous colours Aaron. I've still to master landscapes but this one's beautiful x

[Josh Sudweeks]

I shot this with a Fujifilm Finepix F30.

It now has an ugly dust spot on the sesnor, and I have been putting off opening it up to clean it. So I haven't shot for a while.

[myla]

due to the inconvenience of being poor ( & photography being a relatively expensive hobby) my photos are all done with my trusty canon powershot.

1st & 2nd SOOC

[Geertje K.]

I love my P&S! It's really strong in macro's but other things look great too.

[Yoella Offir]

I have only got my first dslr about two months ago and I still use on from time to time.
I have seen here fantastic picture taken with very simple equipment.
Here are some of what I succeeded to take with a p&s
My washing machine

Lantana

[Rocky]

this is my "big" p&s w/full manual modes on it:


And this is my small p&s w/no manual modes



Then there's my SIL who is pretty handy with her canon powershot:


and another friend with her p&s

[petra]

[Lisa Pouncy]

@sudweeks @myla @geertje @yoelao @sassykat @petra All amazingly good shots. Keep them coming :o)

[Rebecca Briggs]

@psychographer what a fab thread lisa, thanks for mentioning my pics. Big up the point and shoot cameras!
Lisa your shots are all amazing...x

[Dawna VanOverschelde]

@psychographer @bethanyjay Thanks, Lisa. I've learned a lot since I started the project. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Bethany Gardner also uses a Sony Cybershot. Bethany has some awesome photos and is an inspiration for all of us point and shooters!

[Jessie Lee]

All I use is a point and shoot! I love my camera. I want to get a DSLR, but for now my P&S is good and has helped me capture some great shots!

[Kathy A]

My whole project is being done with my two point & shoot cameras, both on automatic.

[Kathy A]

[Victoria Roberts]

Thank you Lisa, but lets not forget you pulled this shot off with a p&s, probably the best ive seen xx

[Carrie Oakey]

Here's a few of mine that I didn't expect to turn out the way they did....... :)

[Bethany]

@dawnie Wow thanks so much for saying such nice things!!! =) You have amazing photos as well!!

I love my CyberShot. I have definitely been thinking about what I'm missing out on by not having a better camera... but all in all - my Sony has been working out pretty well!!

[Lisa Pouncy]

@jessleeca @kjarn @carrieoakey @bethanyjay We can all be so proud of what we've achieved with our lil old cameras :o)

@tori3012 Tori, that's very kind of you xx

[Molly Pankok]

I am reallllly wanting a dslr, but my point and shoot gets the job done :) love my camera (nikon coolipix d110)

[Michelle]

@psychographer Lisa thank you so much :o) huge hug to you xx
There are so many wonderful photos on this discussion. Its really amazing what everyone has achieved by using a p&s.
Well done :o)
