Tiny sensor revenge gallery thread!

I really should redo the post-processing of those old 2mp Olympus photos from 2001. I think I have improved my pp skills since I did those years ago. Maybe if I get a chance tonight I will redo them.

I have the same issue as Thomas. I have a lot of digital pictures, going back to 2001/2. My Sony DSC-P1 (3mp I think, but with ovf!) seemed like Star Trek technology. Sadly I new nothing of F-stops or shutter speed, and even less about photoshop. When I look back to those pictures there is very little worth sharing . My current cybershot (Dsc-T500, 10 mp, but no ovf) has gone to the level of Star Trek the Next Generation in comparison - but I suspect that I would be able to take similar quality pictures on both. Typing this I have remembered that I still have my P1, at the back of a draw somewhere - I wonder if I can still charge it up?

Of course, I haven't seen your old photos, but if the composition is okay then they may just need a bit of post-processing. Naturally, you can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, but I have seen many photos by people which could benefit a lot from a bit of post-processing. Even years ago when I only shot JPEG I would still pp every shot -- sometimes just a small bit, sometimes more. Depends on the photo.

Birma, Thank you. I am trying to sort out 6K+ pictures from the trip. Surprising to me is that I did not use
Sigma 70-300 at all and 95% of the time had Minolta 28-135 on it.

Henry, Thank you and here are couple of more examples of the rig that should look familiar to you.

living room and people can't believe a 5MP camera can produce it. I miss that A1.

This one is from the condo we were staying 2 blocks from Waikiki beach. This is straight KM-A1 image without the
contraption.

Sury, yes, I recognize all of those! Good going!

Go ahead, post your photos!



Funny, you can see my foot with flip-flop in the reflection. I never noticed that until just now.

Something to reminesce about, Bakubo. : )

There's a bit of the photographer's challenge with self there; to be or not to be in the photo when there are reflective surfaces around... : )

I am sure it was intentional

This gives me an idea for a new photo thread. Photos where there is evidence, intentional or unintentional, of the photographer but the photographer is not the main subject of the photo. You know, a photo that is not a total goof, but a photo that you still like yet it does have some sort of evidence of you while taking the photo.

No, it wasn't! I really didn't even notice my foot there until I posted it here in this thread.

I saw this video yesterday as well - a friend had sent it to me as we had been discussing whether iPhone 4 meant that we should ditch P&S + separate phone and rationalise to just phone (I think we're really just trying to justify the cost ). I bought my last P&S (Sony T500) to get the HD video (only 720p but it looks great). I'm still no nearer making a final decision though.

Like the idea of the relfections challenge - you often see the photographer reflected in subject's eyes as well.

Okay, I just started a new thread with this new photo subject:
