In my last thread I posted up about 5 pictures taken out on a trail in the woods...well here are a couple more from the same area(but from a different trail) that I took earlier today. This will most likely be my last thread with pictures from a point and shoot, my shinny new Canon XSi is supposed to be here Thursday and ill be able to take some REAL pictures!:yes:

I'm brand new to this so if anyone would like to offer any suggestions, please do.

1. It didnt turn out exactly the way i wanted, but I liked the angle

2. I wish I would of taken this one a little closer to the bridge, but my buddy was in a hurry and I didn't have time to play around with it.

3. I like this one, its not even that great of a photo...I just like it...

If you took the time to learn your controls and functions your point and shoot could do alot better.Here is a photo I took w/my point and shoot: [not thread jacking]

Did you use a tripod? have you familiarized yourself w/the settings?.

Well, I don't have a tripod because it's just a point and shoot. I have one coming with my new camera, and i believe it will help out a whole lot. as far as familiarizing myself with the settings, I feel like i learn a little bit every time I go out and take some pictures, but as for knowing the camera forwards and backwards, i do not. Actually, I feel like one of my biggest problems is relying more on the image editing side than i do the picture taking side. I'm trying to break myself of that but its a slow go.

thats a very nice picture by the way, reps.

Yea the tripod is a great way to help out,and take just as much time if not more when taking the pictures.Editing can not fix everything..

Maybe .. but I was showing what can be done with simple adjustments and the use of a tripod.Busy or not it is fun I do it for enjoyment,If you have fun you learn alot quicker than when getting frustrated.

O.P read the manual that comes with your new camera.Give it a week and I bet you'll see great progression.Good luck and have fun!
