Nothing earth-shattering this morning. I just took a few more test shots with the Lumix and am discovering more and more options every time.
I have taken all of these shots strictly in JPG mode and am impressed with the quality so far. First there were a few shots of the early morning sunrise, which wasn't spectacular, but made better when I added a little exposure compensation, something I had never tried before... I like it!
Then it was a test of the Stop Action feature when the dogs were play-fighting and doing tug-o-wars with their leashes. They are so funny when they do that, often tying themselves together, or Mariposa tugging on her own leash and shaking it all about (my gosh, is she doing the hokey-pokey??).
After many problems yesterday with my SD cards, USB ports, and the computer not recognizing anything I plugged in, today has been much better so far.
Afternoon update:
I took the new Lumix on a noonish walk with the dogs and decided to test it a bit more. So far, I am quite tickled with the quality of the output. The reviews say that this is basically a daylight camera and that it suffers a little in low light situations so I will have a lot of testing to do.
They are resurfacing more of 24 de Mayo west of the traffic circle and I am very happy about that. That stretch of road, all the way to Parque Paraiso is horrible, especially on a motorcycle, a truly teeth chattering and dangerous experience. In Canada, I have seen them lay a new stretch of road literally overnight with modern equipment in a line-up (dig it up, clean, and lay down the new asphalt), so I they take much longer here with older equipment and a lot of manual labor involved. You would think that they could get organized better, after al, they don't have winter to worry about, just rain...
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's
excitement, Cheers,
Al
