GARRY’S BIRTHDAY BOUQUET

FOTD – April 12 – Garry’s Birthday Bouquet

It came via UPS from Garry’s brothers in Minnesota. It is bright and colorful.

Photographing this bouquet also gave me a chance to try out my Pentax Q S1. As you can see, it worked very nicely. Here are two more pictures — one is a long view of our house from living room through dining room and the other is of the flowers from far off in another room.

Good little camera. I think I’ll keep it.

I think I somehow missed Gary’s birthday, so please give him my best wishes. I have had my head in other places lately. I hope he had a good day snd is keeping well.

  That’s okay. His head has been in other places too. He is busy confronting age.

  Thanks Cee. For once, I got the light right. They were quite dark originally, but dark is way better than burned! I can usually lighten the pictures, but if it’s burned, it’s hopeless. Now, if only I could reproduce that effect!

They are gorgeous flowers, a lovely gift for Garry’s birthday. I am very impressed with what these little cameras can do even before seeing one up close.

  I was surprised myself. I’d forgotten how good these little cameras can be. And they take a full-size picture, too — 300 ppi. I’m sorry Pentax stopped working on the product, but I suppose when they sold out, that was the end of experimentation.

Happy birthday to Garry! The camera did well — I have liked my Pentax cameras, and hope this one will continue to do well for you!

  Too bad Pentax isn’t an independent manufacturer anymore, though Ricoh is maintaining the Pentax as a separate “line” with their other cameras — so you an still get lenses too. Pentax was always underrated.
