Walking New York with the G11
I took to the streets of New York armed with a great mood, a well trained eye and a desire to test out my new Canon Powershot G11.
The overall experience was satisfying especially more on the comfort of having a small yet well solid built camera that’s not intimidating to whip out when opportunity calls.
I shot entirely on Aperture Priority mode, used RAW format and was amazed by how entertaining it was using the swivel screen to capture those unconventional angle shots or even just photographing without onlookers knowing that you’re actually clicking the shutter button.
Despite the camera being classified as a point & shoot, it’s definitely in the high section of the category and it has all the features to keep you occupied in making adjustments to captures that make you feel like you’re operating a DSLR.
I can see this camera becoming my best friend where ever I go and freeing myself a little of the sometimes burden of a DSLR. There’s a charm about its simplicity, it’s black finish and perfect fit in your hands that just feels right.
The piece I wasn’t crazy about was the camera strap and I’ve been hesitant on relying on one when it relates to small cameras. I just don’t trust them and will be investing on the Camadapter CamStrap to have that extra security in handling the camera and avoid dropping it which I felt like I was going to at times.

The best way to save money in your ad buy is to know exactly what you are saying, and to whom. Reducing the number of variables involved can make a massive difference in both the effectiveness of your advertising and the size of cavity it leaves in your pocketbook.
– Eric Karjaluoto in Speak Human. Can’t help think this is the exact reason why so many advertisers flock to Fusion Ads to promote their service or product. It’s not enough to say you have an ad to promote what you’re selling, it’s making sure that the people who are going to be interested in buying it see it. -
Breakdown of the Blogosphere →
Fascinating illustration of everything you ever wanted to know about who makes up the blogosphere, what and why they are blogging, and how much time is being spent doing so. I would be lying if I didn’t admit to chuckling as I read this because all of it is true.
My personal favorite fact -
63% of people say that blogging has led them to become more involved with things they’re passionate about.
For me that’s been photography and I’ve met some wonderful people along the way of writing and sharing my passion.

Kevin Meredith was the first photographer I had the pleasure of featuring on the Photographer Spotlight Series and throughout the process of emailing each other, I purchased his instructional photography book entitled Hot Shots.
The book compiles a huge variety of photography techniques and provides detailed and inspiring instructions on how to implement them into your shots. No photography book is complete without examples and Kevin did a fantastic job in accompanying each tip with stunning samples of his own portfolio.
With books like these, there’s really no justice in just reading up on what it has to offer so I highly recommend in exploring it’s content with the neat time-lapse video Kevin put together to give you an inside look of what to expect. You won’t be disappointed.
