On Saturday I wrote in the blog, the reasons for putting my hand in my pocket to buy a new camera.Well I've finally worked my way through the 150 page instruction manual. Understood some of it, think with time I'll understand other parts, and know there are other sections that will continue to pass none stop over my head.
So I took the camera out for a test run.
For the summer (what summer?), a merry-go-round has been set up on London's South Bank. The shot on the left was taken with it going at full speed. I'm pleased with the crispness of the image.
Between the Royal Festival Hall and the London Eye, there are always buskers and "human status" entertaining the tourists.
The "Bubble-man" is a new addition. I like the way the camera captured the colours of the soap bubble; and the depth of field which allows the details of the building on the Thames north bank to be clearly seen.
On the way home I passed the National Theatre, where a Tea Dance was being held.
Elvis and partners dancing prowess matched their dress sense!
Finally there was only one more thing to test - the camera's video mode. And now that Mr Google has made it so easy to post videos on blogs I'll finish with the short clip of the merry-go-round.
I'm very pleased with my purchase.
