End on

Finding out my camera's capabilities will take a while. It does most of the stuff by itself but you can still take control. What I have found is that it doesn't take good photos with the lens cap on!

This is a lovely cyprus tree by the hotel.

Three good things:
1. In spite of our GPS man sending us way across country on a remote road where there was very little traffic, we found our way to Caspar - took one hour longer.
2. Being able to wash some clothes.
3. My super book to read on my MBAir.

LOL,, Thanks for the info, now I know it has been the lens cap issue, that troubles my pictures. Great shot.

[summerfield]

yeah, kind of hard to see anything when you keep the lens cap on. happened to me so many times. :-) but glad you still can find time to take photos and enjoy the trip. have fun, amiga!

[Tremerryn]

Haha! The times I've done that.... A great close up.

Whatever gorgeous vibrant color and detail!

[Phil Howcroft]

love the greens here maggie, enjoy your new camera :)

[Tony]

Fabulous close-up and vibrant colour.

[Daisy Miller]

Beautiful macro shot. Great focus and DOF. I laughed about your camera not taking good photos with your lens cap on. I have found that my camera doesn't either.

[Maggiemae]

@phil_howcroft I sure am, Phil - I feel I'm up with all the DSIL owners!

[Maggiemae]

@amandal Thanks Amanda - the new camera can get a SOOC very tight DOF which I like!

[Sandy]

Lovely color and detail.

[Stephanie Swift]

Great dof and pov here. I still sometimes have to re-discover that about my camera ...

[Nita]

Beautifully captured, love the DOF and color tones. Sometimes I feel like I do my best work with the cap on the lens - I have days like that!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

So green! Don't worry about the GPS- it has a hard time directing people to our house too. hahaha

[Bev]

Great shot, Maggiemae! Love the color and the detail. The focus is so crisp.

[Gillian]

Fabulous macro, Maggiemae!

[Rick Schies]

Chuckle, it has happened to the best of us. One day they may find a solution to that mystery

[Gena Pegg]

Gorgeous tree and an amazing capture of it!

[Darlene]

What a great shot, Maggiemae. Love the detail you captured with your new camera. I love it, funny about the lens cap being on. I did that with the Nikon that I returned. I have an older Sony than your new one and it automatically pops off when I turn my camera on. Got so spoiled with that. FAV
