Valerie, did you use your "macro" setting for the shot of the yellow flower?

Thanks,

Kirby

Kirby,
Below are the image specs. The whole macro thing had to do with my sister asking if the camera was good enough to show a bugs' teeth...I've been looking for bugs, but all I could find was this tiny spider....so I shot a few dandelions, etc. Surprising how pretty a dandelion can look with a close up like that! lol The RAW files look even better but I haven't converted them yet. These photos were all in Auto mode as I am playing a bit between AV and TV and auto to find things that 'work'. Auto give me specs so I get a clue what to try when I want to force the issue later on.

another addition....out taking horse pics and had the opportunity for this shot. It's a very popular shot among horse people; sort of a 'seeing into the soul' type shot.

Here's a few I took in my yard this weekend...

Jay, how the heck did you get that close to the dragon fly? Zoom lense?

The camera was actually about 6-8 inches away from him. I had to move really slowly so I wouldn't startle him.

Ther hardest shot was the Kildeer nest. Needless to say, they were pretty pissed at me for being that close to their nest.

Here's one I took at lunch.

This is a member of the Patriot Guard at my brother in law's funeral. I handed our friend my camera and asked her to take some pictures. I'm going to put together a slideshow for Casey's friends and fellow soldiers in Iraq.

Sony DSC F-828

It's a discontinued camera and you can pick them up on Ebay for a pretty reasonable price.

It doesn't have an interchangeable lens (the only thing I don't like aout it). I do use a Circular Polarizer or a Neutral Density filter quite often.

This was certainly one of the best places we have been able to get a band into. The sound and lighting were amazing, the stage was huge, and the DVD shoot went awsome. 4 digital video cameras located on on the balcony and then 2 throughout the crowd.

I am slowly coming to realize that Philly has one of the best music scene in the country.
