Here are some that I took in California:
Red Sunflowers that Richard bought us from a lady on the street - Tonya and I were flabbergasted that there were RED SUNFLOWERS until Kelly said that they put the dye in the stems and turn them red hence making the water PINK!

Great pictures, I also love the hat!!

I have a "job" for this Saturday, I have to be the "photographer" at my brothers wedding reception that is at our house. I asked my mom if I had to work/ help on Saturday, and she said no, but then she said I am going to be the "photographer" I'm really excited, but I don't want the people to stop what they are doing, and smile at the camera, I want everyone to just keep on with what they are doing, so I can capture the atmosphere. Hopefully the people will cooperate!

[shais_mom]

that's exciting!
I'll look forward to seeing the results!

To be honest, I have the same problems with this kind of photos. They always turn out blurry. Maybe somebody else here has some advice? I know there were some more PTlers with a S2...

While I've never gotten to use the S2, I do own the S1 and have had use of the S3 for a month last summer. I like both but the S3 definately is better with more features. All of my cameras have been a Canon! I also own the A40 digital, Rebel II SLR, and Rebel XS SLR too.

Here's a few pix I took last summer with the S3....(sorry for my inconsistent resizing)


Color select function




Macro of a sunflower leaf




Bumble bee on a coneflower with zoom




Some type of catipillar with macro




My clemantis with Macro




And one I took 2 years ago with my S1....

Great pictures! I went to a Twins game on Monday, but I left my camera in the hotel room. Stupid me...
