More Canon G1X images tonight from my walk around the city. I wanted to see how the G1X's fixed 4X zoom lens handles difficult lighting such as that presented by the lights on the Story Bridge at night. I also wanted to see what the blacks were like, given the bright lights present in the image.

Above - All Saints Anglican Church, with the Suncorp Metway building in the background. This small church is one of Brisbane's original buildings and is dwarfed by the modern skyscrapers that now surround it.
ISO 250, 10.0 sec at f/11, 0 EV
Above - Venice Restaurant (one of Brisbane's best) on the Brisbane River Walk - city skyscrapers behind.

Above - The Southern end of the Story Bridge, officially known as the Bradfield Highway, with the lights of Jets departing Brisbane International Airport overhead.

Above - Story Bridge with Brisbane City in the background. This is perhaps the most telling image - with quite stunning clarity in the various tonal ranges of the picture. However there are some minor artifacts visible in the top right of the image... Further testing needed to see how that affects other types of images.
All the pictures above were taken using a simple Joby tripod and setting the camera to a 2 second timer delay for the shutter. The weight of the entire rig is less than 800 grams. Amazing...!
