If it's watermelon slices and Tenergy rubber, it must be Open House at my Ping Pong Palace (aka my house), see
here. Taken with the Olympus E-P1:
As my friends played at the table, I went outside to enjoy the cool late autumn air, and a great sunset.
Unfortunately, it's a shame I used my iPhone 4 to take the sunset photo instead of having my Olympus E-P1 at the ready. The picture of course is way worse than what is possible with my E-P1. The problem being that one has to capture the moment with whatever tools one has at hand. A few minutes later, when I went inside to grab my Olympus, the sunset had already deepened almost into darkness.
My only saving grace was that I had the presence of mind to activate the iPhone 4's HDR mode. Without a tripod, inevitably blurriness is introduced. It came out okay at web resolution. But it cannot stand enlargement or viewing on larger screens.
However, it's still immeasurably superior tothe non-HDR, i.e. regular iPhone 4 mode. See below:
Blow-out in the highlights, noise and lack of gradation at the lower end irretrievably mar the snapshot.
