I am the proud owner of a new Canon PowerShot S100 (Thanks to KV and CG for their help in making the decision to purchase this particular camera and thanks to ES for transporting the camera and SL for bringing the great retro camera case to Luxor!). What follows are some of the first shots I have taken with this lovely camera. These are all "Automatic" or "Scene Selection". I haven't had a chance yet to explore the semi- and fully manual options available to me. I'm going to have to "re-learn" manual photography as I haven't had to use those skills in years!

 |
| Poinsettia |
 |
| Red Flame (Clerodendron splendens) |
 |
| Persian Acacia (Albizia julibrissin) |
Fauna:

| Look closely for the kite in the palm tree! |

Wow! Truly stunning photos. Very well done. I want to improve my photography so I'm doing a photo a day challenge. There is a word prompt for each day in January as a theme for a photo to encourage you to really look around you for inspiration. I've written about it on my blog so maybe you could give it a go too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the photos, specially the sunsets! And Beau and Buttons of corse!! Happy New Year!
