Don't point it up or the water runs right down onto the camera. I have used that method myself if it's misting but still prefer to be under the umbrella though just in case.
I have the Canon XTi DSLR. But I also own the S1 & S3 as well.
Never compare yourself as a photographer based only on the equipment you have/don't have. There are many people out there that have 'professional' equipment that I'll never be able to afford but they don't understand the functions of the camera, can't get good shots, and don't have a good eye for exposure/composition. The camera does help take better pix, but it's the photographer behind the camera (no matter what kind) that MAKES the pix.
DSLR's are getting cheaper all the time and older models that are discontinued frequently have steep discounts on the price. Someday maybe you'll have your DSLR. In the meantime you're doing GREAT with the one you have now and it's helping you to learn more everytime you use it.
Keep posting pix because they are great and they inspire me to try new things with my own photography. You're also a heck of alot better at post processing than I am. The camera I've got figured out, it's the computer and off camera lighting I stink at. I love seeing your work whether just the camera stuff or the layers things you do with the computer.
