Canon Powershot S2 IS: photography, help and advice

[Sonia59]

Great pics Kirsten, I love them all! Sky, moon, etc.
I hope I have some time the coming weekend to resize and post some pics.

For the memory card, I also bought a 1 Gb. The most important is the speed. Buy a fast one! Writing speed is the limiting factor to take pictures fast. I took the Extreme III from SanDisk.

Thanks, Sonia and Shais_mom!

Toby's my baby, these shots are phantastic! I see you have learnt quickly to use the color select! This one looks really cool:

This one is cool too!


I like playing with the color functions. Did you do this with the automatic color mode? For me, picking only one color is possible only with the color mode, not with the manual programmes P, M, etc. which means that I am limited to do some macro then.

Sonia, it's only possible in the color mode. It also has a function to replace colors, but this hasn't worked for me so far.


I took this photo this morning, a flock of pigeons. It didn't turn out well. Does anyone have a suggestion how to photograph moving objects?

When photographing moving objects, turn the ISO up.

I always used Tv mode for outside moving objects, and Av mode for inside moving objects. And always on an ISO of 400.

Ah, okay! I'll try that! Thanks!
