New camera!

I haven't replied to any of you nice people on the previous entry yet because I have, of course, been playing with the camera. :)



This is the [livejournal.com profile] myrialux in his natural habitat. (Chrono Trigger and GameFAQS.)



This is the Sora, with the light that helps the autofocus in dark areas making him squint.



And this is the Nefer, with me using my new flash, which rotates up to bounce the light off of nearby objects and not directly on the subject. Managed to get nice depth of field without even trying.



And this is what 12 megapixels can do. :)

People exist who haven't memorized the entirety of Chrono Trigger? Shame on them!

Every animal I've tried to photograph closes its eyes when the autofocus light shines on them. Some of them even turn their backs or walk away...

Nefer's expression says, When you stare at me like this I get a treat, right?

This camera has a Pet setting that turns the light off, although not helpful when trying to shoot in dark areas. I think they know their customers!

I've got to mess with the combo of the duration of the flash and the shutter speed, though - it's slow enough that I still catch Sora with his eyes closed.

Aha, so that's what Pet setting does! I thought it was for fuzzy subjects.

I have a Pentax Optio which has, I think, six different pet settings: black dog, grey dog, white dog; black cat, grey cat, white cat. I don't know how it handles beagles and calico cats.

*giggle* The expression on Sora's face is one that makes it look like he woke up on the wrong side of Monday. XD

He's very slow to wake up, so he *does* walk around like that a lot!

Nefer looks so cute! She's posing so sweetly. Look at those big green eyes.
