The new cam­era is per­form­ing sat­is­fac­to­rily. I’ve become obsessed with sharp­ness lately. The first round of pic­tures I took were over­whelm­ingly out of focus and it left me really con­fused. The cam­era has image sta­bi­liza­tion, so it should take sharper pic­tures than before, yes? I think the new focus­ing sys­tem was to blame though. It has 11 focus­ing points instead of the old three point sys­tem and that takes some get­ting used to. I’m using my tri­pod pretty heav­ily now and it’s help­ing. Also, the two sec­ond delay timer. This thing just seems super sen­si­tive to shake from press­ing the shutter.

I really like how this drag­on­fly photo turned out, although I prob­a­bly should have went por­trait in the framing.
