It's quite amazing the pictures are so sharp even at iso ~200.. I thought it was going to be at least 400.. Guess the VR must have helped as well?

Yes, there's something about Nikon Coolpixes that has some little secret which I found out about by accident in Turkey. This is my second one, and now with VR! Saves carrying a tripod around!

Your pix 1 has HDR effect without any PS. cool

Nice holiday photos!! I love the sky and the lights.

Recent autumn trip is it?

[jeryltan]

Huh? You mean you didn't know your cam had VR until you went Turkey?

No, the first CoolPix I owned was in 2002. At that time, no VR, but absolutely bowled over by the quality.

Yes, I came back 2 weeks ago.

[fWord]

The skies over there are just beautiful. Wish I could see such things closer to home. With any luck I'll be flying over there at the end of this year. The last time I visited NZ was when I was in P4. That's over 12 years ago. Nice work and well-captured...intense colours. The first, second and fourth one are great.

wa seh... fantastic shots.
