New Camera is Here

I got my new camera   a Sony WX80 – WOW! It does all kinds of neat things – if I can get them figured out that is.  And it is small, can easily go in a pocket – it is half the size of my computer mouse - about the size of a deck of cards.

Just a random bunch of shots while I was playing with my new camera.

The macro setting is automatic. As the lense got closer to the creamer the macro came on –I could barely read this with my glasses on. We went out to breakfast so I could practice.

Going down the road at 45 mph - out the front window of the car. Good focusing. 

Again moving about 55 miles per hour – the red truck was moving too.

Standing on the back porch zooming down towards the pond.

And all the special effects – amazing – Watercolor effect of neighbors house

Watercolor effect of our house.

Don't know when I'll ever really use these effects but they are kind of fun. 

Oil painting effect of our house.

Illustration effect of trees and meadow. kind of like this one. Maybe I can get Bill to take me down by the covered bridge if the sun stays out. 

And I’m just beginning to figure it out. There is a high sensitivity setting for indoor or out with low light. Took a picture in Bill's closet and can see all the clothes. 

16.2 mega pixels, 8x optical zoom, 16x digital zoom, wide angle lense, panoramic shots. Burst shots of 10.  3D capable if you have a 3D TV [which we don’t and won’t] HD video. And lots more.

It picks up our wifi and connects automatically to my computer to download the pictures. Also connects to computer with USB - which is way I'll probably be doing it mostly. 

Now I want to go somewhere to really use it. Can’t wait.

I’m also trying to knit using two colors of yarn – making myself a scarf. Then going to practice purl and knit purl.

As you can see from the pictures today – at least this morning – the sun was out and the sky was blue, clouding up and getting cooler now though.
