| Here's my first picture -- what else but a sleeping Tiger cat: |
 |
| That picture was taken in my home office. The chair is positioned by the
window for Tiger's use because he likes to look out the window (when he's
not napping). The window is open and sometimes he stretches out on the
window sill, but even in the winter when the window is never opened he
still likes to sit on the chair and watch the outside world until nap time.
(Of course when it comes time for serious napping he selects a softer surface.) |
It's a 7.1 megapixel camera but it can be set to smaller sizes. I used
a 2048 x 1536 size (which is a bit over three megapixels). They aren't
that size here, of course. I used Photoshop to reduce them to 500 pixels
by 375 pixels (and also saved them at "medium" resolution quality
to keep file size down).
The camera has built-in memory but also can take memory cards. (Of course
memory cards are so small now that they are smaller than a typical postage
stamp.) I was given a 512 Mb card as part of this Father's Day package
so I wanted to put it in the camera but it took me a while to figure out
where it went. The small quick instruction guide didn't say. The thicker
instruction manual also didn't give that information. I finally had to
go to the full size reference manual (which comes as a PDF file on a CD)
to find the answer. (It slips in next to the battery.) |

I went for a bike ride about seven o'clock and brought the camera with
me. I thought the camera did a good job in this very difficult shot because
the camera was able to handle the extreme range of brightness from deep
dark shadow to almost blindingly bright late day sunshine better than my
eyes could. |
