Flash of Red 13

I bought myself a Valentines Day present- a little point and shoot that's easy to carry around as my T3i and Powershot are a little big for that. I'm discovering it has quite the assortment of settings. The black and white setting has a lot of contrast and it really pulls out the textures of the glass in the window. This was an experiment and I left it sooc (except for a minor crop).

Wonderful textures here'

I like the textures and shapes in the photo as well. I picked up a Canon G-16 for the very reason you mention in your comments. It is small enough to carry around ( especially for street photography ) and it is very versatile. It even shoots RAW.

You aren't wrong! Fabulous contrast here! Fantastic for an SOOC shot! Very fascinating subject to illustrate that too!

Wow! That is indeed a lot of detail and contrast for a point and shoot! I don't think I could achieve this with my big Canon AND post processing combined. Great job!

[Adrian Greenhalgh]

Lovely shot and the camera does work with the contrasts well.

Nice shot. Those little p&s cameras are amazing

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian! They are really great to have on hand but cell phone cameras are giving them a run for their money to be sure!

[Islandgirl]

Very pretty Ann, love the shapes and textures, have fun with your new camera!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@radiogirl Thanks Kathy! It's great for those quick shots that come up when you don't have the "good camera" with you. I can't always carry them with me, so it's nice having this one.
