Night Shot of Tokyo Ginza Area

kcl,

Question, with the S70, you can control either the aperture or the shutter. From your post, it looks like the manual settings that you used were to set the shutter priority to 1/30 and the flash to automatically go off. The aperture and ISO settings were defaulted by the camera. Am I correct?

Thanks,
Ken

When I used shutter priority, the flash become automatic, camera will decide whether flash should be activated. Sometime I need to force the flash to off when the object in the picture is too far for the flash to reach. But if there is any object near to the camera , such as a tree, people, I need to force the flash on so that there is enough lighting for these near objects.

In shutter priority, the camera decide the aperture and someone told me the ISO is then fixed at 100 by the camera.

kcl,

great picture! I love these kind of pictures that are so sharp, so accurate, and so vibrant that you have a real sense of the environment..you feel like you're there. Compositionally, I would have included more of the street..give it more depth then the viewer would be pulled right into the picture, at an eye level we could all relate to, of course that's if you want to make it look more artistic.

Interesting that in one of your shots of the Tokyo streets, the original image is showing up at 800 x 600. Yet when you view the EXIF info, it says:
ExifImageHeight = 1536
ExifImageWidth = 2048

Did you crop the image or change its size somehow in-camera or edit it in software while maintaining the original EXIF info?

Ulysses,

I did resize the picture to 800x600 using Photosuite, you are right , it does retain the original picture properties. It is not suppose to do that ?

No, I'm glad that it retained the original exposure information. Most software does not have that capability. So I was understandably surprised to see the EXIF info record such a large image size.
