New Camera Photo

Since I won a Kodak wide angle M580 camera last, several people have comment that they want to see pictures. Returning on the ferry yesterday afternoon from Bainbridge Island I took a picture of Seattle. Compare it with a shot from about the same distance I took last summer with my Nikon CoolpixS550.

First, with the Nikon

And now the Kodak M580

Do I know if I was in exactly the same place? No. I actually think I was closer with the Kodak.

And of course, the wider angle lens makes a difference. I took some pictures in a house yesterday and was pretty pleased with the results. I'll share a comparison of those another time.

Hi Glenn, the first photo it looks like you were higher up a little compared to the 2nd photo. Water is also different in the Summer compared to Winter. I happen to like both photos. I do like wide angle lenses too.

Nice pictures. Have fun with your new camera and share your best photographs. I am using a Canon PowerShot G11 but would enjoy trying a new Kodak model for comparison.

The colors of winter in Maryland.

Lenn - The first was taken mid day and the second at sunset which changes the color. THe color is what mde me jump up and take the picture.

Roger - I do too.

Jackie - I was on the same deck of the same boat. Maybe the tide was in :)

Roy - I am having fun.

Brenda - Well, they gave me the camera.

Margaret - I never tire of the view either. On a clear day, MT Rainier is just off to the right.

Gerry - There is always that learning curve.

Love the reflections with the Kodak - much more interesting to look at. The other one looks good too, but more for a slick ad shot.

Jan 23, 2011 05:17 AM

Courtney - Well, we do love our city. And the viaduct is coming down, which will make that part of the waterfront so much more enjoyable.

Roseanne - The colors and reflections are fun.

Every camera has its own personality and every person behind that camera has a way of looking at the world that is unique. I do love that wide angle...

I like both photos too Glenn. Although I do agree, a wide angle lens is special.
