Sunset
The colors are not even close on this one - the sun was actually a dark purple/crimson, but I thought the end result was still a cool photo.

Playing catchup
I actually have taken some photos lately, but am just now getting around to posting them. Enjoy!

Apologies
It's been exactly 10 days since I last posted! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Unfortunately, my place of work has blocked the Blogger domain so posting from work is no longer an option.
Going forward, I will try and post several photos over each weekend and hope to get some traveling done as well to offer up some pictures from different locales.
Thanks for understanding!

Extra Pics
I've missed a few postings as life keeps rolling on and everyone busy. I've included a few extra pictures to make up for the lapses. Cheers!
The little camera definitely has trouble with bright sunlight and the contrast between sky and objects and sky and clouds.
This fountain picture gives us a clue about the slower shutter speed in use... I'm not sure if this can be changed through the settings or not. I'll have to come back to this for some experimentation.

"Chippy"
This little guy lives under our patio and often dines on spilled birdseed. This particular shot was taken at a lower resolution which allowed me to use the built-in digital zoom. Not too bad, but I think I prefer the full resolution/crop approach.

Flowers and retaining wall
If anyone knows the name of these flowers, please leave a comment. They were not labeled at the Rose Gardens.

Sunset
The color saturation is a bit off, but pretty darn close for this little camera. Color me impressed!

Flowery Lights
The sun definitely plays a factor with this little camera and how it is able to handle color. The white balance settings are quite good, but not up to SLR standards as one would expect.

I'm a Helion!
I finally received my new Drift and have been learning the ins and outs of the phone, the software, and functionality. Below are a couple of first pictures - as you can see not perfect, nor of professional quality. But, give me time and I can almost promise some improvement.
