LENS CAPTURE

Vol. 3 No. 7


While traveling, I made a decision to leave the bulky gear at home and go light.  My choice for image capture is a point and shoot high-end performer, the Canon PowerShot G12.  This 10 megapixel performer packs a ton of features that even a pro shooter will love.  I coupled this with a Black Rapid SnapR combo strap and case system.  Together they made for a compact travel champ.


One of the features of the G12 was its ability to capture high dynamic range (HDR) images with a single click of the shutter release button.  The camera actually snaps off 3 shots then combines them in the camera.  Since I was hitting a major tourist attraction, Hoover Dam during the mid-day Sun, I figured this would provide a good test.  Here are some of the images captured:

My decision to travel light also included leaving the laptop behind.  Just my point and shoot camera, my trusty iPad2, and Apple's Camera Connection Kit handled the job nicely.
