my friend Anne

We met for lunch in Winchester today. I just took my new RX100 in my handbag to hopefully get some shots for a competition 'my town' afterwards.

I couldn't resist asking for a portrait shot of Anne to see how the camera did. She was quite impressed. (I think a new camera could be on her shopping list before her trip to India in the autumn.)

Lunch was very nice and it didn't rain all the time and we even saw the sun - a little bit.
Wonderful flesh tones, clarity and focus your new toy gives wonderful results, or is down to skill of the Photograph Hazel:)

What a wonderful photo of your friend, Hazel. I love all the detail you captured in her. FAV Is this a new camera?

Yes, Darlene, the smallest compact I've ever owned. It's for holidays. The menu is almost identical to the a6000. It's very good!

@quietpurplehaze I would love a smaller camera. Will check it out on Amazon as your camera shows up here. Still learning the a6000. I have spent a lot of time on you tube. How do you like it?

I like both my Sony cameras. This new one is RX100 Mark 4, v expensive. The RX100 Mark 3 is cheaper and also takes brilliant shots - I've seen some taken with it.

P.s. The menus on these RX 100 are like the a6000 - so nothing new to learn.

@quietpurplehaze It is not in my budget but a camera worth looking at. I am sadly still learning. I have not taken many photos at all. Need to get outside and take some soon.

It is a lovely shot of your friend. Great lighting.Could nothing be done about the distraction to the left?

Fantastic portrait. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

A lovely portrait of your friend. Always good to get a new camera. David's new camera has just arrived today and he is playing with it right now.

I guess I could have got Anne to sit further to the right but then the light from the side window could have been a problem. I quite like the view of the staircase on the left but that's an interesting comment, Chris, thanks.

Hope David will like it - what has he got?

@quietpurplehaze It was only a comment - some friends of mine complain that I touch up my photos. You can't win!

I always welcome comments especially if it's something that's not occurred to me!
