Canon PowerShot G10 Redux

NEWS FLASH!
The G10 is obsolete! OK, it's only obsolete if it no longer serves its purpose. But Canon has announced the G11, which seems to take image quality to the next level with reduced noise and better dynamic range. I have a proposal in to Canon to give the G11 a field test during my trip to Istanbul and Bulgaria this October.
All that said, I've been pretty happy with the performance of the G10. When the light is good, it can capture excellent images. Am shooting a lot at the wide end of the zoom range, so processing in DXO Optics Pro is a boon. I also use the film looks available in DXO to give images the right look (color balance and contrast curve). Last week I printed a couple of G10 images and they are now on display at Penn Cove Gallery.
Here are a few examples of the images I'm getting with the PowerShot G10. I am really enjoying the opportunistic shooting afforded by having a "pocket" camera, as well as the stealth factor since using it makes me look like any snapshooter.

Lavender Wind Festival

I stopped by Lavender Wind Farm today to check out the art festival there. This runs through tomorrow, so please check it out. This is a small event but with many worthwhile artists showing their work in photography, felting, polymer clay, watercolor, mixed media, acrylic, rugs, hand painted silk, ceramics, fiber art ... There's live music, wines, and a variety of food vendors (not the usual festival stuff including reindeer hot dogs, ice cream, lavender mussels and more.
Lavender Wind Farm is just off of West Beach Road, near Libbey Road.

Online Print Sales

At last! I have finally found the right service to offer online sales of my images ... printed to my standards. My new online store is hosted by Seattle-based Imagekind. All prints are giclees printed on the latest large-format Epson printers with archival pigment inks.
The majority of my popular images ... and some new ones ... are now in the store. To maintain my sanity, I have eliminated the Flash gallery of photos on the web site; look in the store galleries. I have yet to complete tagging the images, so the search box won't find all relevant images; please bear with me and just surf through the galleries.
