When there are so many remarkable photographers creating wonderful photographs, a compact camera photo blog has to be modest.

The photo blog images are shown watermarked, at reduced jpeg quality and much reduced size (499 pixels). The full-quality full-size images provide a richer experience.

Modest

Slip-in-your-pocket size, the overwhelming virtue of the compact digital camera, understandably requires compromise elsewhere in the camera design.

Slip-in-your-pocket size compact digital camera.

Those design compromises make some ways of working with the camera more successful than others: cropping the photo on the computer instead of when the photo was taken; or awkward post-processing to hide "purple fringing" along high contrast edges; or fusing multiple exposures to increase dynamic range or depth of field.

So one set of challenges is to learn where those limits are and to work within them quickly to make the best of the camera's capabilities.

The larger challenge is developing my viewpoint.

Prints

Modest size prints - 8"x10" and 9"x12" - look good.

Using a calibrated monitor (with 6500K color temperature, brightness, back light, and increased contrast) in a darkened room provides a good match to printed colors.

Displayed along a dark wall the prints look dark, and displayed along a bright wall the prints look good.
