Flower pics I found while walking to a friend's yesterday.

What do you think?

Good composition on the first one. Was it dark outside? The images seem pretty noisy for outdoor daylight photos.

yeah it was getting near dusk
using sharpen in Picasa added some extra detail so I stuck with it.

Only ISO 200 :disgust: ...Makes me glad I never use my P&S anymore.


The 590 is a great cam though. I've got one of its early-model predecessors (the A85)

wow thats a lot of noise for ISO 100 and 200. OP, can you post the originals?

LOL! I was gte964h back in my Tech days.

Ok 120 was 100 and 159 was 200.

100% zoom FTL.

the noise level is fine for decent sized prints. though picasa has added some. the jpgs have already had sharpening applied in camera, so not much, if any, should be needed later.

100% zoom or not, that's still too much noise for ISO 100. This just reaffirms my belief that >6mp on tiny P&S sensors is too much. I dont know what I'd do when my current P&Ss die. I should've bought another of those F31's when I had the chance

wow I agree on the noise. It was the first thing I saw on the photos and I went "holy moly what is with all the noise!" That is really too much for me to handle as well; and to think i was complaining about iso 1600!
cool shots - although macro shots of flowers are hard to mess up =)

and i agree Aharmi - i should have bought more f31s as well...to think I got it at 230 USD and now they sell much higher on ebay
