Test Pictures

I finally spent some quality time with my camera. I've had it over 3 months and never actually sat down to learn it since I become distracted way too easily. ;) I originally had a Canon Powershot A80 which I absolutely loved. It was easy to handle, easy to operate...basically a great camera to learn photography.

My sister needed a new camera for her trip to Egypt so I gave her my A80 and upgraded to the Canon G6. Wow, this camera operates so differently it had me a little nervous. I became frustrated very fast...and long story short, left it in the camera box and ignored it for a few months. :rolleyes: Recently, I pulled it back out of the box and gave it another try. This camera works best in manual mode and therefore requires more prep time for pictures which I'm not used to. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it and think I will keep it. ;) Now I just need to practice, practice, practice......and gaining some patience along the way wouldn't hurt either!

Here's some test shots and as you will notice I've been dabbling in Photoshop as well (another huge program to learn...will it ever end???). :p

I like them all, but, I love the one of the house. How do you do that where only the grass is green and the house is red? I haven't read the tutorial or anything on photoshop, I need to do that. :) And, I can't wait to get a good camera.
