New Camera

I should be ashamed of myself for only posting once a month these days, and for posting only pictures instead of writing, though I think people would much rather see my photographs rather than read what I have to say.

Anyways, I bought a new $600 camera called Olympus PEN.  I've wanted this camera for years, and I finally have it now.  Here are some test pictures (They are really just test pictures.  I was learning how to operate the camera and its limitations. 









Olympus PEN is slightly bigger than a regular point & shoot camera, but it takes DSLR quality pictures, as you can see.  One of my favorite functions of the camera is the in-camera filter, where they automatically edit the photo.  For instance, the above picture has been photoshopped a little bit, but here's how it looked when I took the picture (no edit):



So the picture doesn't really need the extra touch.  This function will save me a whole lot of time since I can concentrate more on taking pictures and not editing them. 

Another function you may have noticed is the 4:3 aspect ratio.  The pictures I posted here have more square feel to it than my normal pics.  I still prefer the 16:9, but it's nice to have options. 

I also took shots of my baby nephew, but I refused to post his pictures on a public webpage.
