Vacay Photos, Round One
Photos from my first day in Rome are now online in the gallery. I’ll be adding photos from more days as I get through processing them.
I have a program that came with my Canon S400 which helps to stitch panoramic shots together. For the most part it does a pretty good job, even if the GUI is ugly. However, I’ve been fooling around in Photoshop to achieve the same effect and I enjoy the process a little more. I have a couple of shots that I’ll assemble from my Rome trip.
I’m very happy with my little S400, but I’m starting to hanker for something more powerful. I definitely like the small size, which makes it easy and unobtrusive to carry around, and its durability has definitely been proven and tested on several occasions. I’m just finding that sometimes it can’t take the shots I want to take.
In reality, though, I don’t think I’d want to walk around with an SLR strapped to my shoulder—the S400 is definitely convenient, and for that reason it’s perfect for vacation photos! The new SD500 looks pretty awesome: 7 MegaPixels in a body that’s smaller than my S400 (with its 4 MegaPixels). And Canon just came out with a new Digital Rebel. I’m interested to see what Nikon comes out with next…
