Fall Day photos

From today. It's the first shoot with my new little Canon Ixus 960 (which I finally got tuesday). (Known as SD950 in the US.)
Below are the first and the last picture I took. The blue one is perfect for a desktop (wallpaper) picture.
Here is the full gallery, 12 photos. (Large.)

By the way, isn't it funny how you can be snobbish about anything? :)
You can be: "I'm making my pictures on a camera costing twenty grand and the size of a bread box. I'm the business." But you can also be: "I'm making my pictures on a $200 camera which fit in my breast pocket. I rule."

But then of course one might also simply get pleasure from any of these facts without being snobbish about it. There's a world of possibilities.

Update: I almost omitted the bricks/fence picture for being too boring. But then I got the idea to make it monochrome, and I very much like it now.

I like fall-day-0014.html.

It's much greener there, it seems.

Did you mean Cannon 950?

"Did you mean Cannon 950?"

A film cannon you mean?

A prime example of what a blessing the Internet can be. Without it few, if any of us, would know of Eolake. In this borderless world he is more than a national treasure -- he is an INTERNATIONAL treasure.

The raw emotion conveyed by the white birch is powerful. The colorful leaves evoked in me a craving for a green salad, which I will enjoy far more with this artistry in mind.

Stop sucking Eolake's dick and come up for air once in a while.

the photos were good with the exception of the fall tree. that picture is a reminder that the gloom (prewinter) is ready to cast it's benighted shadow of winter upon us :(

Ah, but what shadows.

Personally I like winter photography, the lower sun casts better shadows, and makes architectural photography more rewarding.

For stark trees and a sad tale you can always watch "Silent Running" with Bruce Dern.

So the mossy tree, high color mode, or touched up? That surely is not natural light alone...

Anon, I do believe that this camera is called the Elph 950 in the US, and Ixus 960 in Europe.

Thank you, Greg.

Alex: one of them is saturated, the other one is over-saturated. I liked it both ways, so kept them both.

I rather like the brick wall photo. You're right, the monochrome makes it.
