Pier 1 and Lincoln Center Campus



Testing out the camera, so I went to Pier 1 on Manhattan's westside.  Walked around Pier 1, South on Riverside Park and through the Lincoln Center campus.  I wanted to take picture just before dusk.

I'm learning to use the setting and features in different conditions.  I'm still adjusting to selecting features instead of depending on "auto", but looking at pictures taken with my previous camera on the same subject, pictures taken on my new camera are definitely of better quality.

Martin Luther King School
I've always been fascinated by the Memorial Sculpture
I've got to lean how to take pictures of subjects up-close with detail.

New Camera




Bought a new camera.  As Canon S100, it's not a DSL but it's a step up from my previous camer.  I wanted a big boy camera, but don't think I'm ready for it.  I prefer to take pictures on the fly and dont have the time or patients to et up a shot using a dSL.

This camer has DSL capabilities which will prepare me for my next camer and it also has built in GPS.

I didn't play with all the settings, just auto setting with zoom.  I wanted to take pictures because it was overcast and to play around with different features and get accustomed to the camera.  These photos are not the greatest, but on the bright side, I can return to taking great pictures and writing reviews for you guys.
