These are some shots from a tour yesterday (Jan. 22) of the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, a long-time theater fully restored in two stages. They're all taken in what was designed to be very dim lighting, with the little Canon s95 using existing light and no flash. As a result, several are taken at 1-second and some at 6/10ths of a second, but the Canon S95's Hybrid IS corrects for lateral shake as well as angular, the first compact camera to do so. On all but three shots, I didn't use Photoshop this time, so I could get them up earlier. I used, instead, the free Irfanview viewer to resize them down to 800x600. In 90% of the cases, there's no cropping. Needed to get these up w/o the usual ado, since others in the group are sharing pictures from the walk and then the Paramount tour. Will explain more of these later... Click on any image to get the larger version. Then you can click on "Next" or "Previous" to see other ones. |
