this is definitely correlated to the sensor's lack of sensitivity.
Ja wohl.

both your sunsets look like they were made of 3-4 colors only, instead of a smooth transition.
Yeah - here's another in the series, sized to fit here, and then a piece pulled out without resizing.

If I did that right, you can see the actual guilt of my method.

That said - these snaps were to show how one could exploit the tool at hand for some artful effects. They turned out exactly as I'd intended.

Remember - not all people know this - but with decent desktop software, you can start with a picture that does not overdo things as I did, and post-process it to get better color.

And my other point is - the worst camera is the one you don't have when you need it.

And not to defend the Evo camera, just a statement of fact - this was in very low-light and I think it did well.

PS - That said, I'm so far finding the Evo still camera quite serviceable - the video camera - uh, not so much.

the pictures, are mediocre, and in good lighting they can be decent. that's not saying alot....
Sheesh. Everybody's an art critic. You know, some pictures are made to inspire emotion.



There was a whole video-making cult built up over the Fisher-Price kiddie b/w videocam. I'll have to look up some of their stuff - that'll learn ya!
