While they aren't all prize winners, I am so excited to have this camera I thought I'd share a few. At the Orange County Swap Meet (I think that is what it is called) the rain came and went, and the vendors and buyers mostly went. A few brave souls found protection from the rain and shopped on until there was no place to shop anymore. http://168.212.133.189/wwwpages/lugphotos/rain%20in%20LA.jpg I saw a shopper and his reflection and thought it was kind of cool. OOPS! Who's that in the left hand mirror???? http://168.212.133.189/wwwpages/lugphotos/mirror%20image.jpg This one was a mistake (I'll admit it) in that I thought I was in one mode and I was in another mode. The shutter was longer than I thought. My wife was trying on a funny hair piece at the swap meet in the pouring rain and she moved a bit more than I had anticipated. I thought it was still kind of neat. http://168.212.133.189/wwwpages/lugphotos/Hair%20Motion.jpg So on the way home that evening on the wet and wild freeway, I decided to play with long exposures on purpose and take a shot through the windshield (no, I was NOT driving) I set the camera for 2 seconds and just moved it in circles. http://168.212.133.189/wwwpages/lugphotos/Under_the_influece2.jpg While I'm playing with light, I'll toss one more in. It was actually taken before I got my new camera, but is only a few weeks old. http://168.212.133.189/wwwpages/lugphotos/multiple_flash%201.jpg So, there are a few. I also went to the Irvine Spectrum and got a few shots there, but I didn't scan those. It was a fun last day in LA with the rain and my new camera. Any comments are appreciated.
