I’m back from another trip to Geneva. I had a little more time to photograph this time. Again, I brought just the Sigma DP1. I failed to bring great weather for photography however, with one shooting session in the afternoon made difficult by high contrast sunshine followed by overcast and the second session marked by alternating rain and drizzle. Fortunately, right at the end of the day, the clouds cleared out and I had a few minutes of really nice light. Here’s one happy result.
DP Review has reviewed the DP1. As these reviews run, it’s a fair assessment. However, I don’t look at it as a flawed camera, but rather a specialist’s tool. Every time I get back and start looking through the images, I forget about how I have to adapt to the camera, happy that I can use a compact to get what are consistently some of my best images. I can put up with waiting a few seconds for the buffer to clear before adjusting for the next image. The f/4.0 and ISO 400 settings are good enough for my work.
It’s a great picture taking tool for me.
