Xmas tree
Another shot I was happy with is this one of the Christmas tree in San Francisco's Union Square. The blue of the sky has a nice, smooth gradient and the detail on the tree carries all the way up the trunk.

Castle
Here's an indoor shot of a holiday display. No flash was used, yet the camera was able to ramp up its ISO enough to prevent the image from blurring.

Reindeer
For this shot I engaged the Xyboard's macro camera setting for a shallow focus. It worked nicely.

City view
A view of San Francisco from a hotel elevator. No special settings here, but great detail all the way out to the skyline.
