Spent yesteday at a barbecue\/party with friends in Wappingers Fall, NY. The scenery was pretty on the drive up, but I didn’t feel like stopping to take a picture. There were all sorts of great opportunities for pix at the party, but I brought Amy’s super-camera with me and never took it out of the car. It sorta highlights my dilemma with upgrading my digital camera: I really don’t want a camera that will be hanging from my neck or shoulder, but I don’t know if I can get really good shots with a camera that fits in my pocket.<\/p>\n

The party was great, albeit overrun with at least a dozen kids under the age of 4. A bunch of us childless people hung out in the cold on the front porch, bantering while avoiding parental responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to make up for the lack of pix yesterday, Amy & I (she stayed home Saturday with a cold) drove up to Ringwood Manor<\/a> this morning and she played with the settings of her camera. She tested the high-color RAW file settings, which yielded some tremendous images. The ones we uploaded to flickr<\/a> are shrunk and converted to JPG, so some of the detail and color is lost. But the original files are about 14 mb each, so it’s a tradeoff.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/a><\/p>\n
