A mini experiment session with the new baby!

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Did a mini experimenting session since I am ’single’ for the week.

I did some picture taking at home. All the pictures here are just resized without any touch-up

My first model of course was my little Gabu; Child No.3

gabu

This was set in the wide-angle mode. Tried it with the smallest f-stop number.

apple

This apple was taken using the many preset scene modes. This is the “Food’ option. The blur colour tint is in-built to show the food better. A bit too blue for my taste though.

pepper

How about a little pepper? My little mini camera isn’t capable of the BOKEH photography, but I liked the fact the f2.8 is enough to show the slight blur. What to do, compact camera mah!

exposure
Then I decided to do a little comparison by playing with the shutter speed to get the perfect exposure. Of course, I would want to play with movement, but I’ll leave that for a little later.

ISO
ISO setting is another thing that is rather common now in compact cameras and this little baby boasts of having the highest ISO setting ever! 12400!! mind-blowing yes, and that’s about it. Absolutely no practical usage or what so ever!

All in all, I am really satisfied with this purchase and would be experimenting further when I next go on a holiday since BKK is out of the question now with the current situation over at the Suvarnabhumi airport. So sad but what to do…
