If you are one of the three people that actually look at these photos and think that they are a bit (or a lot) blurry - I do realize this. One of the reasons (excuses) is that I have always been one to ‘waste lots of film’. I usually just point and shoot – So I get the shot, blurry or not. This doesn’t leave much time for focus and with the digital cameras always wanting to auto-focus it only takes a slight movement between the half-button press and the click to create a blurry picture.
Another cause may be that the camera took a hit in the last couple of weeks. The primary contributing cause is probably that I was not paying as much attention as I should have to the camera settings. In this case (the motorcycle show) I had the camera set for 'pin-point' focus. This would have seriously limited the depth of field. Also JPEG compression can/will affect sharpness.
Of course the real reason may be the Panasonic LZ-3 ain’t as good as I thought it was for fast, no thinking, point and shoot capture (and I may not be getting along with it as will as I should.) I will now try to read the manual (don’t you’re your breath) and take some practice picture. If I take some notes on what settings I use I may be able to figure out where I am going wrong when taking pictures of bright objects at close range. In this way I may be able to determine if it is the camera or me.
Please do not hesitate to provide me with feedback and criticisms (the constructive type would be most helpful) on the photo's.
One thing you do not have to tell me is that I should caption the photo's - That takes lots of effort, a talent for coming up with clever one-liners and takes ‘work’ as does the cropping and other photo editing tasks I would love to be doing if only I was getting paid for this effort.   Send captions with you photo's and I will post them with those captions.
If you have the talent, high-speed web access and the committed will power to help on this then please contact the WebMaster
 

Let me know if the photo's take too long to download - I'll see if I can put up viewable low-res photo's. Let me know if it is all pictures or just some (and give me some names). Let me know what kind of web connection you have, Cable modem, Hi-Speed dialup [try to figure out what speed you are actually running - It's not really 56k just because the modem sez so.]
