Sep 20: Sunny f5.6

My parents have come to stay for a few days and so I got to play with Dad's new camera. A S*ny...! Actually, I quite liked it but can't help feeling that I'd prefer it to have been a Minolta. For this shot, I wanted 1/400 at f5.6. Late afternoon sun, so one stop more than 'sunny f16'. 'The Sony's multisegment meter reckoned on 1/200 @ 5.6. I twisted it's arm (switched to manual) and got my way.

I'd rather my A700 been a Minolta too, David. Still takes great photos though. :D
