Out for a short walk today. Using plants to illustrate curves is almost cheating--they have so many of them. But there was this wintry tree . . .

Nicely done, Oh! I like that, and a great find to boot!

Thanks, Lisa! That tree was full of graceful curves. The hard part was controlling (selecting) the background. Well, focusing in wind gusts was also hard. I had to use manual focus because the branches are narrow.

Doesn't it seem to happen that when you find something nice on a tree to photograph, then the wind picks up (or doesn't let up if it's already breezy)?

How do you like that G15? I need something to replace my G12 and have been perusing different cameras, including mirrorless. The objective is something small for when I don't want to carry around the DSLRs. I've looked at the G15 too.

I didn't have a G12 for comparison; from what I've read, the G15 is pretty similar. Canon didn't change much for the new model (there's no 13 or 14). It's not as good for macro as I expected. Otherwise, it largely suits my skill level. I can't justify getting a DSLR until they get smaller and I learn more, but the G15 lacks some features I'd like. One is: focusing manually by turning a ring would be easier than pressing a button many times to get a series of little increments and having to look back and forth between setting and screen.

More nice curves!


Small camera?
Consider the SL1 with pancake lenses?

Thanks, Don. This one's retirement duties will be strictly ornamental :-)

She's ornery, just like most of our cows. She was late to calf and has a little one, making it difficult to get close to her.
