A couple of days ago I visited my friend in New York as he was there on business. This is what I had to endure. (Grumpiness)

This is the best I could do with a single photo of one of the many sky scrapers in New York City using a 1Ds Mark III:

You will note that although there is no highlight or shadow clipping (the 1Ds3 has an astonishing 11.3 stops it can capture), the image lacks punch. This was one of three photos I took handheld and here is the HDR:

This is an example of a great error message. It contains three parts crucial to a user friendly message. The first part is a description of what went wrong.

Every morning when I get out of the house on my way to work I am witness to some kind of magical sunrise. Problem is I am always in a hurry to get to work in time so I hardly have time to run back in to the house, set up my heavy artillery (1Ds Mark III) so usually I just shrug it off and go on my way.
When I got the Canon PowerShot G10, this all changed. Grabbing a shot is now as easy as taking the camera out of my jacket pocket and taking the shot. So here is one (less dramatic) example of what I used to miss out on.

Good morning Winnipeg, G10 @ ISO80
