Manitoulin Island, Monarch Butterflies at Carter Bay - 2007 (PiP)

Out of many reasons I didn't really take photographs that time. I just was amazed and pleased about that new little "tin box" with its tiny sensor inside. There was nothing that could be done manuelly and the small lightcollector wasn't able to create a selective focus for a blurred background. So I rather snapshooted, than photographed and my images of that time offer more a documental value, than anything else. At least I think so. And of course, they keep memories. At least for me.

Well, meanwhile I am able to handle some image editing tools and again, I am amazed and pleased about what can be done with this old and small files - assumed you take the time it is needed.

The image up here is an example for such pictures. I wasn't statisfied at all with it, but some evening hours of editing made it at least respectable, I think.

A jumble however it remains ...

A fine view, and a great capture with a 7 MP camera. In those days I was shooting with an 8 MP camera and I don't think I could have edited any of them into this quality.

Thank you John - it's of course not only the technical aspect but also the - how can I say - artistic or at least the creative aspect of it. These cams start with wide angel when switched on and as you do no change (what I mainly did) you end up with curved horizons, plunging lines (translator suggestion) and loads of nothing on the sensor. A clean compose hardly is possible without a viewfinder and and and .. But it were steps on my way and it's alright.
