Lightning In December

// December 28th, 2005 // 8 Comments » // Photos

Tonight’s rainfall presented a perfect opportunity to test the camera again - this time taking pictures of one of my favourite subjects - Lightning.

See some previous shots during the year here, here and here.

PS: As usual, click through for higher resolution pics and more detail on the camera settings.

Bird Lovin

While taking this shot, the old Cole Porter number which has the lines “Birds do it, bees do it / Even educated fleas do it / Let’s do it, let’s fall in love”, came to mind.

Yep, even Indian myna birds (Acridotheres tristis) have urges - but damn, does it have to happen on my roof?

Where’s the neighbour’s cat when you need him?

Flower Shots

Testing the camera some more - this time taking pics of flowers in and around the garden. As usual, more detail on each photograph available by clicking on the pic.

Wide To Tele

// December 27th, 2005 // No Comments » // Photos

Was playing with the new camera and took these two picture - the one in wide mode (28mm) and then zoomed in completely to tele mode (420mm). Click on the pictures for full details and settings for each photograph.

In the original pictures (3264×2448) one can see even more detail of the driver of the Citi Golf for instance.

The 15x optical zoom rocks.
