Merrell’s Inlet, SC, by MoonlightMy wife works for a company that participates in an annual business conference at the beach in South Carolina each summer for a couple of days. Of course it’s usually part business and a mini-vacation rolled into one.
Empty Beach — Myrtle Beach, SCMy daughter has accompanied us the last couple of years and this year a friend of hers came along. I’m sure she had a better time with her friend there, not having to spend so much time with the “old folks.”
I took very few photos and the ones I did were either with my cell phone or my Canon S90. The image above is looking out over Murrell’s Inlet, SC, at night. Murrell’s Inlet is a historic fishing village which now hosts some wonderful restaurants.
The second photo is something you don’t see very often these days — a nearly empty stretch of beach.
I thought the S90 did a passable job in low light with an ISO of 640 braced against the railing of the main dock for a 1/4 sec exposure at f/2.8.
Don, yeah, the S90 is a nice and small camera with the same sensor and most of the features of the larger Canon G11. For a camera you can carry easily in a pocket it’s hard to beat it.
Mariana, I appreciate the kind words. I’m continuing to learn the abilities of my handy pocket camera, the Canon S90, and I’m continuing to be impressed with some of the results.
Nice capture, particularly without a tripod!
Jim, thanks. I had the bottom of the camera resting against the dock rail to give it a good bit of stability.
Its always nice when you can getaway and mix business and pleasure. I am thinking the more I see of the S90 the more I like it as a back up.
