On a nice sunny day I ran into an unexpected limitation of the S2 IS. I was trying to take a picture where I panned with my kids riding and blurred the background. The trouble is that the camera has a maximum of f/8! So I couldn't stop down enough to prevent blowing out the image at low exposure times such as 1/30 sec.
This picture was taken with the "Super Macro" mode of the S2 IS, which is just so fun to use. The lens is practically touching the ladybug on this shot, as my son lets it crawl on his finger.
Here is another shot taken with a similar strategy to the other cherry blossoms shot.
I was floored by the S2's abilities with this shot. It was taken at ISO 400, in Tv mode at 1/60 sec from the audience at the symphony (the guy on the left is my brother-in-law). I supported my arm on an armrest and set the camera for high continuous shooting. I would then pick a good moment and take 5 or 10 shots in a row, keeping my arm as still as possible. Usually a couple great shots would come out of each burst. Since there was so little light available I also bumped up the exposure compensation by 1 stop. I did also need to do some noise reduction and a little sharpening in post-processing, but overall I felt so impowered to be able to snag this type of shot from so far away. It also showed me that ISO 400 is not "useless" as so many people say. It definately has its uses.
Detailed map, Bukit Ruil is listed.
I usually don't like to use the flash, and I was indoors on a cloudy/rainy day. I believe this was taken in Tv-mode, with exposure compensation to lighten it back up. I lightened it up some more in post-processing. Although taken at ISO 400 the grain looks more "natural" in a black and white snapshot.
