In 2001, the OES purchased a new Hewlett-Packard PhotoSmart 912 digital camera to take better photos for the website. We decided to take some night time photographs in and around downtown Columbus to test out some of the camera’s new features. Some turned out pretty good, so we put them on this page. We may add more photos in the figure as we test features of our newer digital cameras, like the Canon Digital Rebel models. If you would like to be informed about updates to the website, follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Google+.
