Loving the Camera!
Hey guys! Below are a few shots that I took over this weekend. This camera is wicked fun! The red truck pic was created by color accent scene mode (basically, it saturates a selected color and then desaturates the rest). I used the same setting in the orange shot, guess where I took that picture?? Don't forget to click on the image to view it larger....

New Canon S90 IS
Where has 216 blogs been? I've been all over and pretty darn busy. But, I'm back with a brand new post!!
Recently my Sony DSC-T9 has suffered a focus/lens issue, so I've been on the hunt for a new point and shoot. After reading tons of reviews and seeing various camera results on forums, I ended up going with the Canon S90 IS. Quite frankly, this is one of the most versatile cameras I've ever used and it fits perfectly in my pocket!! Size and image quality were the 2 most important factors in making my decision. The S90 excels in both!
I haven't spent a lot of time with it just yet, but decided to post a few odd pics that I've taken while playing around:
(as always, click the image to view larger)
The above shot was taken messing around with RAW and manual exposure. This was 15", f4, iso 80. Most folks would've deleted the shot, but knowing the capabilities of RAW files, I decided to try to make something of it.
This is the same RAW file, but post processed. I bumped up the exposure and converted to grayscale within Lightroom. It ended up being a pretty cool shot. I really dig the star clusters and 'moon burst'.
This was taken the next day. The camera was set on full auto and the only post processing was resizing to post on the net. I can't believe how sharp and vivid the picture is. Some might say it's too vibrant, but I dig it and it's cool to compare the night shot with the day shot...
Here's Jenga. She's probably thinking: oh no, not another freakin' camera =)
Here I am, getting ready for a 7 mile run. Having finished the run, it sure is relaxing to be posting a few pics for you to enjoy.
Until next time...
