New shots with Sony DSC-V3

jeff31, you've captured some really great pictures of your garden.

[GVales]

I continue to experiment with nite shots. The two night ones are from my work roof top, the 2 others of my backyard. I was trying to capture the color of the tree's red blossoms...but the red did not quite happen...

Not easy to capture a butterfly...

Curious, what where the settings, or did you have it on auto for the last 2 pics jeff?

For the pear tree blossom the settings were: aperture priority, f/3.5, 1/1000s, focal length = 9.9mm, 100 iso, center metering mode, macro, no flash, no tripod

For the butterfly the settings were: aperture priority, f/4, 1/250s, focal length=21.5mm, 100 iso, center metering mode, macro, no flash, no tripod.

I use very rarely the full auto mode.

Another pic ?

Aperture priority, macro, f/3.5, 1/1000s, focal length=18.1mm, Center weighted average metering mode

Try getting one of these to stay still....

BTW..Do any of you guys/gals using the HVL-F32X flash with the V3?

GVales, wow. How'd you manage to catch the little critter in that pose?

Super shot GVales !
Curious i've gone and seen the exif information of your image. It has been taken in full auto ?! 1/60s, f/3.5, 120 iso, focal length = 18.1mm, with flash
The flash does a very good job in macro !
