HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The old Olympus Stylus 820 was on it’s last legs so we replaced it today with a Panasonic DMC-ZS5 and I must say so far I’m SUPER impressed with the quality of the pictures taken in low light. I only played around with the presets and Starry Sky with the shutter set to 15secs got some amazing shots. Gonna have to dig in and start programming some custom ones because 15 seconds might be too long and I also want to play with aperture settings as well. I noticed that shots with a lot of red got overexposed with some parts showing white. But then again the camera was around $250 so I think I’m getting a pretty good amount of bang for those bucks. Check out some of the shots of the current yard setup below.
The first two darker pics of Harry the Scarecrow were taken in Night Scenery mode, the rest in Starry Sky. Need to find a happy medium between the two.
Stumbled on this via Pumpkinrot. Absolutely amazing and eerie piece of archetecture.

Love this commercial. It takes cues from The Matrix but does it a tiny bit creepier. Something about the red matrix pattern is unsettling but in a good way. I’m wishing I could trade up my Eris for the Incredible right about now.
I could fill up several pages with this stuff, it’s all over YouTube (search Transworld 2010). Love the old zombies at the end, great stuff.
Man there was lots of great stuff at Transworld this year. A shame everything’s all topsy turvy on the home front (having to move and everything – priorities ya know) because we would have LOVED to have made it out that way. Check out all the great footage Terra at Halloween Forum brought back for us.
