So the camera arrived today in perfect condition. So first thing I do is changed the mode from auto to Aperture Priority and mounted the speed light and took this. Al, is there a way to lock the speed light to the shoebox?

Oops, to much light.

then removed the speed light and went outside and took this

Came back inside and read the manual on how to change the aperture. Changed it from F8.0 to F4.5 which is the max, mounted the speed light and took this

Since too much light.

Removed the speedlight, left the aperture alone and took this. Still not quite enough light so will play a bit tonight. You can see a bit of noise in the photos. The tank is not brightly lite so the auto focus is have a hard time nailing the focus.

It is actually a sweet little camera and easy to use. I will put the settings back to the auto everything before sending it on.

Cool Pat. I love that you are posting all kinds of pics, at the end of the day, that is what this project is encouraging to do.

I will do a write up on how to upload pics from the camera soon, however, would you mind chiming in on how you found the process? Was it very straight forward? Was it any different from your current uploading of pics?

Lastly, to all, again, post as many pics as you want, I will start a gallery for the pics per person, BUT, I would love it if everyone could choose one specific one after they are done with their challenge and let me know which that is. I have a cool little surprise in regards to that

Thanks Ricardo, do you want me to discuss taking the pictures from the camera to Simply? Also note that the ISO is set to 1600 on the camera so the pictures do look a bit grainy. I need to look this up and change it.

Yeah, just a small play by play on how the process works. Not overly detailed. When I get the camera I will be able to do a full step by step on how to do everything. I actually like the 1600 ISO because it almost gives it this film noise quality

HI Phil,
Yes there will be a list...its basically whats here right now in this thread...

Camera is on route to Pat in Florida...then to Eric in New Hampshire,then to you....

I may have missed it - have y'all got my address? Should I send a PM to Pat with my address? I'm stoked to participate!

[brewmaster15]

HI Eric,
Pat will send you a Pm with her paypal address for the shipping cost and you can provide her the shipping address then. When she ships it she will provide the tracking info to you.


All...I think if we shoot for sending the camera out on a Monday or Tues it would be best, as that way it will arrive before the weekend, giving the receiver the weekend to play with it. Please remember to ship it as I have documented... Use a flat rate medium size box with $200 insurance. Keep the tracking information ...it will be on your USPS receipt.



thanks everyone, have fun!

Round two with the camera. This was from Friday evening playing with the sunset and the aperture. I was making the aperture smaller with each picture. Discover a possible shadow on the lens.
