Last night we went for a bike ride under one of the prime maple canopies of northeast Minnesota. This is arguably my favorite Cook County backroad to ride. It has a very nice mix of rolling terrain which really makes for a fun ride. In a few more weeks this route will be bursting with the glorious colors of autumn, making it even more fun to fly down on a mountain bike!
I've been experimenting this week with a Sony RX100 "pocket" camera, and I have to say I am very impressed with the features and image quality of this small camera. This photo was taken in very poor light (about an hour before sunset on a VERY cloudy evening under a dark canopy of trees). This particular shot was at ISO 200 with an aperture of f/1.8 and a shutter speed of 1/25 since I was going for the motion blur effect. However, I also shot several images at ISO 1600 and even 3200 and I was blown away by the results. I never could have made this shot with my old Canon G11 camera, which is what I used to carry on such outings. Sadly, the G11 is dead and I am looking for a replacement. Could it be the RX100? So far, I have been impressed by this performance-rich little camera!
