    Default Getting to know my new camera

    I recently bought a digital camera. It was 10 years ago I sold all my 35mm and larger format film cameras. I'm a little rusty to say the least.

    I've taken a few photos to try and get a feel for all the buttons and settings.

    Xtreme Pro 5 has been used to crop and manipulate the images in this and the following posts.

    Please provide critiques and comments.

    The attached image is called "Old Fences".

    A simple cropped shot out across my neightbor's pasture. In addition to the fall folage it also shows the new fence he put up and the newly paved road.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks Larry. The camera is a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS. Very affordable compared to some other digital SLR cameras.
