Backyards and Butterflys

Our new camera is both fiendish and forgiving. On the one hand, there is nothing automatic about it; so when I crank the ISO up to 1600 to shoot at night it stays at 1600 until someone notices and turns it back down to 200. On the other hand, while shooting at 1600 during the day with most cameras would turn your photo into a Seurat painting; this camera produces some surprisingly cool pictures. You can still see the pixels when you zoom in all the way, but for the most part the blacks and colors came out really rich and saturated.

Anyways, the top pic is one of my favorite Lukas pictures ever. Thanks, Iria and Nikon!

And oh yeah, I’m supposed to mention that the kids chased around butterfly fairies named “Brownie”, “Orangie” and “Sparkles” the grandma. It sure must be fun being a kid, but not so much fun being a butterfly around a kid.
