Two weeks down, eight to go. Next week will be the really interesting one. That’s when school starts.
Anyways, here’s what I got today. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this picture. I think I like it. The color of the sky is pretty cool, at any rate (yes, it actually was purple). If only the picture had been taken half-a-second later, when the birds weren’t behind the steeple. Then they would have looked like birds, and like the steeple was falling apart.
f/2.0, 1/100s, ISO-640
Also, my camera somehow picked an ISO speed in between 400 and 800. I don’t know how it did that, because I can’t select it manually. And I wasn’t even aware that ISO speeds came in non-multiples of 100.

I am a sucker for photos with a shallow depth of field, and many of them (including this one) have that. Thus – shiny!! I’m jealous you can go below f/2.8 … I don’t think my camera can. And you should look at my latest facebook photo album if you haven’t.
To clarify, I meant many of your 50/50 project photos thus far have a shallow depth of field, not photos in general. 🙂
That’s one advantage of a DSLR — interchangeable lenses.
For the record, my new camera (canon powershot g11) has the option of interchangeable lenses! I kindof forgot that the f/ number range is directly tied to the lens… I don’t think I’m hardcore enough to play with different lenses yet, though. Maybe eventually.
Really? The only things I can find for the G11 are conversion lenses, which aren’t the same thing. I don’t think you can just go buy any arbitrary Canon lens from B&H and stick it on your camera… can you? It’s certainly not listed in the specs.
Hmm, well maybe I misunderstood the term “conversion lens.” I thought you just bought that, then could slap virtually any Canon lens on top of it. Buuut the internets tell me otherwise. 🙂 There is a “lens adapter” I would need to buy, and THEN I can buy a few different “conversion lenses.” Gah. Still, I guess I have more flexibility than a typical point-and-shoot camera should I choose to spend gobs more money?
