New Camera

So, the new camera I got is a Sony H5. I think it was released in 06, so it's not too old, and still very top of the line. It's 7.2 megapixel, and most notably it has a 12x optical zoom ( 36-432mm equivalent (12x optical) F2.8-3.7 Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens ). It also has a nice huge 3 inch lcd screen on the back. It's definitely a step up. I should have some new test shots up on Thursday. I got out last night at sunset and messed around with it for a bit. I'm really happy with how it's working. Looks solid. =)

Here's a review if you'd like:

Falling Behind

This past week has been busy. Much busier than is good for a person's sanity. I apologize as always for slipping behind. As a token of my goodwill I present three, yes, count them, three pictures.
Here goes:


- Pillow

I like the gold lighting here. It's always nice to set things up right with a white balance that looks good. It helped alot that the shade for the lamp is yellowish also. It gives the lighting a sunny look. I also like the shadows on the edge of the pillow. Very fun




- California Snow

The sharpness here isn't great, but I still like this shot. Taken around Christmas time when everyone is decorating.



- Murk

The color here turned out really nice. It's an edge of a pipe that takes water into and out of the lagoons that are around the peninsula I live on. The sun reflecting through the water looked very neat, as did the algae on top of the pipe. It was very slippery though!


Enjoy
