Hi Everyone:
Had some camera spotting today. Check that old Pentax point and shoot the
pink Polaroid. I guess color cameras isn’t such a novel idea after all. Also,
Central Camera had a red Pentax Q—was it cute. First time I was able to play
with one! Very fun!

If it comes with a matching lipstick you're all set:) But how could

Both are good photos but the first one really stands out for me - the
way the bird is positioned against the darker band cutting diagonally
through the grass works really well.

It doesn't have a very dark background, so matrix worked fairly well. I'd guess

had you used spot metering on it's body, you would have gained the desired
additional feather detail.
I do think it's a good shot as is.

Spot metering on the body would yield a bird that's 18 percent gray. Of course
it's easy to bring out the white in conversion. But spot metering is not always
practical with a moving target. I wouldn't go that way.

I like Pied Kingfisher (nicely composed, and an unusual perspective
for a BIF shot) and Takeoff.

I know, the 18% gray is what I can use to restore detail as I chose. You're
right, spot metering is truly a wing shooting sport.
I use it for the occasional (OK, rare) accidental direct hit. Seems it would
have been ideal in Peter's case.

I’m not sure where you guys are seeing a $1000. The Pentax point shoot,
which I thought interestingly huge by today’s standards, is $45. The pink
Polaroid, which I thought interesting given today’s trend in colored cameras,
is $139+.
