Test Shots From the New Camera

I definitely need to find some kind of class on controlling my new camera and lenses.  I did get a couple of good shots, but only a COUPLE.  The rest were just plain ole “meh”.  Anyway, here’s some tests…

This (above), I don’t understand why the color on everything in the shot is great…except her eyes.  Both of my kids have gorgeous bright blue eyes.  Why are they so dark in these shots?DSC01203_1

 

For comparison on my skills with the new camera… here are two shots of Snailerby…

This shot is taken with my comfy camera.  The Canon G9…  I feel its sharp, clear, MACRO.  Awesome, if I don’t say so myself.  I love how it turned out.  I simply set my camera on the AUTO/MACRO setting leaned in close enough the camera was almost on the tank glass,  and snapped the shot.

and this one (below) is taken with the new Sony.

I couldn’t get up close to the tank, the camera wouldn’t focus.  This was taken standing across the room, and if I zoomed in any more then this – it would blow out and not focus.  Note the focus seems to be the rocks and not Snailerby.
