I just had to try this :-).

Focus Fail


One thing I notice with the new camera is that the autofocus doesn’t work any better in low light than on the old camera. Which leads to some interesting shots sometimes!

Diesel II


One last tele-macro test shot with the SX1 I took of some of my model trains. This is a Minitrix gauge N model of a V200 series diesel locomotives, specifically the later V200.1/221. This is not actually a model from my childhood – I bought this about ten years ago from Ebay, although I do have a very old cast-iron model in H0 of a V200 from the 1960s. I think I’m going to take photos of all the model trains sometime now that I’ve got a good camera for it!

Diesel


Remember those red diesel locomotives I posted a while back? Here’s a model of one, shot as a macro test with my new camera. Actually this is not really a macro, but a zoom shot from a distance.

Just putting the SX1 through the paces… a bit of model train macro is a good excercise!

Ghosts in the Machine


I found this on my sd card a while back… I have no idea how this happened :-).

Construction I


Just for fun, a view of the big construction site near the river. This would fit great into the City Views series, but I want to keep it in monochrome and this shot only works really in colour. But the City Views will continue soon after I’ve sorted out some more photos!

Leftovers


You know how it is when you put something together – no matter how careful you work, there are always some parts left! But these are actually some intentional spare parts from my Lego Curiosity Rover :-).

Happy Easter!


Our somewhat feeble attempt at Easter decorations :-).
I’ll be posting some other photos later.

Galileo was right


This is just to prove that I occasionally take photos of something else than flowers :-).
