Well, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" from the world's largest outdoor lunatic asylum!

I've got in-laws at the house who needed to see San Francisco, so I took them around the city, yesterday; I figured it was a good excuse for me to experiment with the digital camera (Nikon CoolPix 5600). I was especially interested in seeing what the camera could do in low light if I tweaked with the Exposure Compensation.

Here's a trio of my best shots (I think). These were all taken after 7:00pm (sunset was at 5:00pm) WITHOUT the aid of a tripod. For those who don't recognize it, the building is The Legion of Honor Museum. The shot of the Golden Gate has no exposure compensation. The lighter of the two LoHM shots has exposure compensation of +2.0, and the darker has +0.3 compensation.

If you want to see any of these larger, click on the picture, then, on the page that appears, click on the small magnifying glass icon at the top left of the image.

Enjoy!

I like the bridge shot!

But I liked the Bay Area. We spent three years in Fremont, when Igor was employed by Ford Aerospace, in Palo Alto.

Nice shots!

While on the way to a New Year's party yesterday afternoon, I intended to take some photos for further experiments with some HDR (High Dynamic Range) software, but a problem I'd had last summer with the Nikon D70 came back; it sets up for a shot just fine, but then displays "Err" and doesn't take the picture. Last time it started working again when it was taken to the repair shop; hopefully this time it will remain broken.
