Here are six close-up portrait-style photos that I took during the spectacle équestre at the Haras du Pin 10 years ago.
Tomorrow I'll post one more slideshow before moving on.

It's amazing to me how sharp and clear these images are. The camera I took them with is a Panasonic Lumix ZS1,
which was sold outside North America as the Lumix TZ6. I bought it from Amazon USA in January 2010 for just $212.
I've charged up its battery, put in an SD card, and starting using it again, especially in the kitchen.

The first portrait is my favorite. I have been very happy with my Lumix TZ3 and with the quality of the photos it took. I am also happy with my iPad camera. Do you see an improvement with the Sony?
ReplyDeleteThe Sony has an advantage because it has a wider maximum aperture (f1.8) compared to f3.3 for the Lumix I was using for these photos. That means the Sony takes much better pictures in low-light situations — inside a church, for example. Also, the Sony has a 20-megapixel sensor, where the two Lumix cameras that I still have — the ZS1 (bought in 2010) and the ZS8 (bought in 2012) — have 10- and 14-megapixel sensors respectively. I don't know what the TZ3 lens specs were. The larger Sony pictures can be cropped more tightly and still give good results. It's almost like having a longer zoom. The Sony zoom is much shorter than the zoom on the two Lumix cameras. I hope that all makes sense. I'm just learning as I go.
DeleteYes, it makes sense?
DeleteBeautiful. Too bad there won’t be any horses in Prince Phillip’s funeral today.
