Last week I was on a UN assignment in the wild north-west of Uganda. While the Karimojong are widely believed to be a fierce warrior tribe and caused quite some problems with cattle raids in the past, they are mostly beaten into line by the Ugandan Peoples Defense Forces.
But the photographic challenge here is the extreme light during the day ( starting at 9: 00 and ending at around 17:00 ). Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to leave the UN compound out of security reasons before 8 nor did we come back after 5. So I was forced to shoot in atrocious light. And here the G11 showed its ugly face. The RAW file still had some details in the highlights, but you can see clearly, that the chip was just overwhelmed by the amount of light it had to balance out. I already underexposed for one whole stop but its hard to hit the middle.
Not a killer, because people have done great stuff with cams that were much much much worse then this 21century toys, but a thing you should keep in mind, when switching from a DSLR.
