I felt the same way Leigh.
I wanted to simply make a decision.
As with so many things the more I learn the more I know I don’t know.
Thank you Chris,
Your suggestions are very helpful and show the experience of someone who has been there.
I think I will leave the editing up to Ed. My one remaining eye doesn’t work all that well and that is part of why I am asking for help.
I already have a hobby and I don’t want to compound my time and fiscal challenges by taking on photography as a second hobby.
I fly over such beauty that I feel I should do a better job of representing it on the forum.
The book needs a better camera with proper lenses and someone like Ed composing them.
I am beginning to feel that the specifications can be misleading for my application and the only way to make an informed selection is with the help of my friends on the forum.
I tried to find shots that had seemed particularly challenging like the one with the ocean and white sand. The white sand and dark blue seems to wash out the sky. There is a little mist out there so the sky wasn’t all that blue.
I was using 12 times optical zoom on the SX130 and 10 times optical zoom on the SD4500is.
The last two pictures are taken without any zoom because that is probably the way I will shoot from the air most often depending on how good the stabilization is. The recent freeze turned the lawn less green so that is not the camera’s fault.
At the risk of letting in preconceived notions 3,7,8,and 9 is the SX130 and 23,12,13 and 14 is the SD4500IS.
I am waiting on an answer on my brake line so I thought it was a good time for a camera test in the yard.
I should be flying by the end of the week and I will post some shots from the air.
Thank you, Vance
