The Canon and the Coop
I got a few photos of the Park Slope Food Coop today with the Canon. (I still haven't uploaded the photos of Xander on his first birthday -- I'll do that soon). I love the Coop, since it's full of good food and nice people and it's the opposite of a big box store. Someone took a bunch of good photos of the displays there a while ago. I tried my hand at it, but I have a long way to go in understanding how to get the most from the Canon. It can store an incredible amount of detail, but in order to get the shot I want I have to learn how to play with a bunch of settings. The lighting in the Coop always seemed warm to me in person, but it created glare in the photos. My standard approach of turning off the flash and balancing the camera on the nearest shelf is not the best method of achieving good color, either. Still, it was fun to try and I am very pleased with the clarity and quick response. Can't wait to spend the day in Prospect Park with it when it's sunny.
