Flowers for Alternon

I got flowers delivered today for my birthday. Innatnice?


The pic above was with the Canon S90, the one below with the Lumix GF1. Top one at ISO 800 and cropped a little more. Bottom one at ISO 400. It seems the Canon has the color of JPG files amped a bit more, which is common for compacts, to please their normal buyers.

Ah, go on then :-) Let me be the first on the blog to wish you 'Happy Birthday'!

A point to ponder:
Many people complain about 'being another year older' ... it's much better than the alternative! :-)

You only came close to being the first one, but at least you were the first one on this post! :-)

Thanks.

Happy Birthday!

The Lumix pic looks nicer, but for all I know, it could be entirely due to the boosted saturation on the top one.

Most of the time, I can't tell any difference when looking at comparison pics on DPReview or elsewhere. I just wonder what the liquor tastes like, and if those crayons are any good.

Hey, a little late (from the US) but Happy Birthday!

Thanks, guys.

Yes, there's no doubt that those differences in image quality that some of us obsess about, are all but invisible to most.

Nice flowers. Nice Typewriter.

Well, Eolake - a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!

I'm taking it easy today, so will have a drink for you!

Nice flowers, and (still) very cool manual laser printer in the picture!

Have a happy one!

Algernon, Algernon, not Alternon.

It's a pun. Alternon is the alter ego of Algernon.

A quite gentle joke, sure.

You can't expect a moron like Bron to pick up on that, Eolake. Come on, now.
