Photography

I thought I would give this guy a try - the NEW Sony DSC-R1

Its incredible.  It has been quite some time since I used to play with photography, but WOW.  I love this camera so far and the fact that its not a true SLR, does not bother me much due to its performance.  The lens is perfect for %99 of the shots I will ever want to take.

In the Picture below, I stitched several photo's together.  I liked the colors in the picture, they look very cool.

One picture not stitched

This camera is awesome!  in the pictures below, I took a picture on lower left with a shutter speed of 1/60 and ISO 160 with aperture at 2.8.  not enough exposure for anything but when I downloaded the picture into Adobe, and enhanced it I was amazed that thier was a picture.  Freaking weird!

My buddy had asked me before how the camera was, and I had said "it almost sees in the dark", well I guess it does!

All these photo's have been reduced big-time to a lower resolution.  Trust me, at 10 megapixles the files are 10 megs and up each JPG, and if I use RAW mode, they are 25 megs a piece.  Yep, had to break down and buy a 2 gig Compact flash for the camera.  I like the fact Sony built this camera to take other media, and if you still wish, it also can accept the Sony memory stick.  You can actually have both in the camera at the same time, and then just flip a switch on the back of the camera to switch between the cards.

Below is another picture in the dark, same night, same settings.

Same thing again!

I am so impressed with what I have seen starting to use this camera.  Now mind you these have been examples of the worse case, but if it can be this forgiving with these pictures, I cant wait till I get any good with the camera.

I will post more as I play......
