I’ve never thought a camera lens looks so intimidating.

…virtually every camera lens in use today can trace its heritage back to one of five lenses, four of which were developed by 1900.

We did take a look at a printed shot at the top native ISO of 51,200, which looked quite crisp and clean, though there was a noticeable jump in noise from an identical frame shot at ISO 25,600. We did notice an element of noise with a grid-like pattern in the higher-sensitivity version, which isn’t ideal, but the sample we saw had been shot with a pre-production model…

Bellevue Botanical Garden d’Lights isn’t too far from downtown Bellevue, Washington. Last year, there wasn’t any fees to enjoy the display. To limit visitors strolling down in the dark, $5 admission fee was issued.

I really enjoyed the lights. They were different and fun to look at. One thing I would add to the show is ambient music, have different sounds that match with the lights, i.e. birds chirping where the bird nests are.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
