jezlyn > Chicago Botanic Garden - Sony H9's first test run

Tulips are my favorite flowers. :)

For this picture, I didn't do any retouching other than to resize it for the web.  I really like how the colors and exposure came out of the camera.

Tulips are my favorite flowers. :)

Just did a bit of shadow detail recovery in this pic with Aperture before resizing. No sharpening done.
jezlyn > Lady in ReposeChicago Botanic Garden - Sony H9's first test run

As we were leaving the Japanese garden area, I noticed this lady sitting by the waterfall across the lake.  This picture is taken at full 15x optical zoom, handheld.  I was holding the H9 at about hip level and tilted the LCD to frame the shot.  

Since I am a rather shy photographer, using the 15x zoom for street photography would be helpful. :)

This picture was taken at full 15x optical zoom.  Since I don't have steady hands, I need image stabilization like VR on my Nikon 18-200 lens, or the Super SteadyShot on the H9.  Of course, I guess at this long of a zoom, everybody needs help from image stabilization. :)

Either way, I'm really happy about how this silhouette turned out! :)

More of my favorite flowers. :)  

This was taken near the end of our visit, around 6 PM.  Though the sun was still pretty bright, it was starting to set, and the colors of these orange and yellow tulips were amazing in that light.  Very fiery.
