More camera banter... first few shots taken with the A700 while I was studying for examinations.

120mm f5.6 1/40s iso1600 SSS on, HP Christmas tree


300mm f8 1/50s! iso3200! SSS on. Focus speed and accuracy is much better than the A100 and we get decent high ISO performance and incredible SSS to boot.


300mm f11 1/160s ISO800 SSS on. Autofocus better even with macro shots with the Sigma 70-300 APO Macro. But still I prefer to do it (focusing) manually when it really matters...


300mm f14 1/250s ISO800 SSS on. Tones of red. Like this picture because of the red colours so I took the chance to play around and 'develop' a few more versions.


-50 saturation version... a dull and gloomy mood to the picture


-80 saturation version... a hint of colour from black and white


Sepia, like a really old photo


auto black and white... doesn't seem so interesting..


Customized black and white... seems better...


Finally, some Picasa magic..

Man... I wished I have more time to play around with these toys... it's fun
