In church, a butterfly and a huntsman... and some thoughts on equipment

I just love the light in cathedrals!
I doubt that the 2mp Fuji would have recorded the colours half as well - but then, it's worth about $10 now, and I'm sure my Pentax k10d would have done better on the colour and dynamic range than the Fuji 5600 used here. But the 5600 has a leaf shutter, and is almost silent - just right for places like this.. unlike a reflex camera which would sound like a bomb going off in here.

This was hand held @ 1/13 second. The 5600 doesn't have IS, but is very well balanced.

I wrote to another photoblogger that megapickles don't really count that much in a camera... it's how you use it within the camera's limits. This was taken with a 5 year old 2mp Fuji Finepix 205s camera. It does great macros. The lens is very sharp, and is capable of spectacular 5x7 prints - but I wouldn't use it for fine details in landscapes.

Same camera as above... not as well focussed though... I was a bit more careful about approaching this guy within a few cm, and was not as careful with getting the focus spot on... too hairy for me!
