Scenic Sunday: Revisiting the Japanese Garden

Monday, December 22, 2008


Last September, When I got my new SLR camera, I tried it out at the Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, California. Now that I have Ashton, I decided to revisit the place and try him out there (I'm getting very superstitious).

I can't believe how terribly complicated Ashton is! There were new knobs and selections and various selections that I haven't even began exploring yet. However, I tried my luck (without reading the manual) and clicked away. I still have a lot to learn (two times) but I guess that is to be expected since Ashton and I haven't really bonded yet. So far, I am satisfied with the results.

What do you guys think?

Of course your shots are lovely! I like the 4th shot best! (blue kasi!) You just need to make yourself familiar with Ashton and I know you'd discover many settings that would make your photos 'phenomenal'... Ako din hindi pa sanay, mas ok na sakin ang phone camera lol. Have a nice week, enjoy!

I think the photos look great, HOWEVER, how does the camera do with low light and no flash? To me, that's the acid test. Lucky you to have a new d90. Say hello to Ashton for me!

Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes, that's a horse grazing (!!!) through the snow.

@Sara: I haven't tried it on low light situations without flash but I'm sure it will work out great since ISO can be set to 3200..I still have to explore it's features though... :)
