Pretty pictures

I am totally in love with my new camera.  Even just pointing it randomly at stuff round the room while I tried to get my head around some of its many many many buttons, with no thought at all to composition, produced things of beauty:


(Of course, Parsnips would tell you she’s always a thing of beauty – she doesn’t need a new camera to prove that :-))

This is so magic – I stumbled across the panorama setting, which does in about 10 seconds what normally takes me half an hour in the GIMP.



Those last three were taken after dark, with no flash, in a not particularly brightly lit room.  Of course, at full size (I resized them way down for posting, but that’s the only editing I did) you can see the graininess produced by the ridiculously high ISO, but I’m just amazed I could take photos in those conditions at all!
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m very very happy with my new purchase 🙂
