Sample Photos

Landscape Example
				Focal length: 28mm Aperture: f/9 Shutter: 1/125 ISO: 400 Evaluative metering, landscape Picture Style, taken on an overcast day.
				The falls at Niagara show the T1i's capabilities for landscapes, and the detail shown in the image. The details on this shot look quite soft, which is a consistent problem with the T1i.

Macro Example
				Focal length: 21mm Aperture: f/4 Shutter: 1/200 ISO: 400 Spot metering, aperture priority mode, using landscape Picture Style to emphasize the colors.
				We were very impressed with the color and gradation shown in the macro photographs of these flowers.

High Contrast Example
				Focal length: 27mm Aperture: f/4 Shutter: 1/1600 ISO: 400 We metered off the sky in order to deliberately under-expose the tree, and make it stand as stark contrast to the sky and mist. Shot using partial metering, though spot metering would have been more appropriate.
				The dynamic range of the camera is good enough to capture some detail of the leaves in this shot, but not a huge amount. A small amount of noise is also visible.

Low Light Example
				Focal length: 42mm Aperture: f/5 Shutter: 1/50 ISO: 12800 Shot in aperture priority mode, at the widest available aperture and maximum ISO to maintain an adequate shutter speed for a handheld shot. Shot without noise reduction, which would have helped with image noise, but reduced sharpness.
				By ratcheting the ISO up to 12800, we were able to get a relatively sharp hand-held shot, but with a significant amount of noise

Wildlife Example
				Focal length: 55mm Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter: 1/500 ISO: 100 Shot at the maximum aperture for the fully zoomed kit lens. Even though this was shot Landscape Picture Style, which sharpens the image, the resulting photo is still quite soft.
				The wide aperture meant that we lost detail on the birds, but it was required to keep the shutter speed high.

Signage Example
				Focal length: 28mm Aperture: f/7.1 Shutter: 1/100 ISO: 100 Auto white balance dealt with the natural daylight quite well, but partial metering off the dark sign meant that the brick wall is slightly over-exposed.
				Under bright illumination, the copper coloration comes out very well, though details are a little on the fuzzy side.
