Izulde's Sony DSC-H20 Picture Dynasty

[Izulde]

Just some quick hits from the fiddling around with my new camera I did last night and today.


My Bernese Mountain dog, Bubba, taken with 10x zoom


[i]I forget the zoom, but this was taken from all the way across one end of the dining room to the other and is a close-up of the curtains on my parents' dining room window.


Part of the dining room leading into the kitchen. A normal shot. i.e. no zoom


A 20x zoom (even though the box says the lens only goes to 10x of a granola bar box from one end of the kitchen to the other. The telephoto on this thing is incredible.

Outdoor pics next.

With no people on the street, I wound up taking a lot of flower pics.


Dandelion - Front lawn - 10x zoom


Same dandelion - 20x zoom


Some of Mom's lilac bushes - Normal shot


Closeup of lilacs - Don't remember zoom


Don't recall zoom on this one


Just to show that it's possible to zoom in too close so the camera can't focus


Lessened zoom, but still too much. I was figuring out the boundaries


Zoom wasn't that much on this, maybe 4 or 5x? The last in the boundary figuring lilac series


Some of Mom's yellow tulips


A detail of a tulip. Don't remember zoom

Dad wants to head off for supper, but I've got a few more outdoor pics to post, including a pairing that demonstrates just how filthy this zoom is.

My grandpa and I spent a summer building what was to be a clubhouse when I was like 10 or 11. Unfortunately it turned into a storage shed because I never did have friends over and it was brutally hot in there in the summer.


Close-up of door latch. Forget the zoom


20x zoom, taken from considerable distance away


Another 20x zoom detail, taken when I walked closer as I was experimenting with different distances


Normal range shot, taken from the porch of my parents' house

And the real sign of the telephoto's awesomeness:


Remember the brick house from the last picture? 20x zoom, taken from the side of my parents' house so an even further distance than the porch. And yet, I was able to get this level of detail from there

That's all for today.

Isn't the 10x optical zoom and the rest digital zoom?

I think you're right. That would explain it.

I always wondered about that.

Thanks for clearing it up.

I love the little flag in the first post's third pic

Seriously now, the flowers ones look really amazing.

[Lorena]

Loved the flowers, closeup of the dog, closeup of nail in the shed, and bricks from across the street pics.

Pretty awesome pics Izulde!

Icy: I thought you might appreciate the flag. And thanks

Lorena: Thanks I love how the camera auto-detects specific modes such as flower-picture taking mode. It allows for gorgeous pictures. Now if I can just find a bird of paradise again somewhere...
