I was out with family in Victoria, BC at Hatley Castle/Royal Roads University when I happened upon Japanese group wandering the grounds. Not thinking much of it I thought it was a tour group until I saw a gent with an orange Sony camera strap and something which was quite different from my A700.
I was extremely excited and took this picture.
I must apologize as I hadn't paid attention to my camera settings and fired off this photo at 100ASA 85mm (28-85 minolta lens) at f9. Even though it was a sunny day, we were in open shade and I screwed up. The man heard my camera and started yelling at me in Japanese.
I guess that's why I'm still an amateur photographer. A golden opportunity missed
This was shot in JPG at Medium setting xfine (my standard mode) as I had just finished shooting some practise shots. I'm still quite uncomfortable with the dSLR being more in love with manual film bodies. As a result my smug gallery is still empty as I grapple with all the range of tweaks available.
If you wish to see the original jpg I can email it to you so you can pixel peep all you want. The 3 features that made this camera jump out me was the size of the optical viewfinder, the thumb rest, and the side ports.
