Chief Grey Bear Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Here for your enjoyment (hopefully) are three pics I took of my son Dylan in 2006 on Cedar Creek in Newton county. It was a beautiful October evening. One of these days I would like to get and learn how to use a digital camera that I can really do some stuff with. This was just a point and shoot HP cam. I would love to have some of the equipment like Terry and some of those guy's do. On a side note, if you are interested, I do have other pics of Dylan and Sierra, my daughter on some earlier fishing trips. Kinda like this one of Sis with a Cedar Creek Crawdad. And this one from her SI swimsuit issue.

DD'sMC Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Cute kiddos! Great fall foliage shots. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. The two best times to go fishing? When it is raining and when it is not.
Terry Beeson Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Chief, Looking at the first three shots, you're halfway there. A lot of what makes a good photo is a good eye. You can have a $5,000 camera and still take bad photos. Nice pics for sure! Yeah, I can see the front cover of SI in her future... LOL You didn't say what model your camera is, but I'll bet it has some modes on it that you could still experiment with and learn. That's what got me started (and I'm a long ways from being a good photographer, for sure... still LOTS and LOTS to learn...) The main thing is to get out of the "auto" mode and work with the aperture priority, shutter speed priority, and manual modes to get some effects you want. PLUS getting those Ev, ISO, and white balance values the way you want them. Keep shooting and experimenting...

Chief Grey Bear Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks for the kind words everyone. The third shot of Dylan was my top pick. I have yet to find another day just like that to try and shoot again. Terry - It was Hewlet-Packard camera. The wife bought it several years ago and after many trips it finally gave out. I am now using a Cannon Power Shot SX100 SI on my trips. It has 10x zoom, which I know ain't a lot, but I think takes a pretty good pic for what it is. It is an 8.0 mega pixal. I will probably have to wait until the kids are out of the house before I get a good one.

Terry Beeson Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 When researching for a new camera for my wife this Christmas, that camera was on the short list along with the A590 IS I wound up putting under the tree. Your camera is a great one for sure. Like I said, start working on those settings and learning what they mean and do. Also, do you "play around" with any post processing like with PhotoShop, Picasa, or similar photo software? It can help a not so great image become a real keeper with a few clicks. Like I say, I'm still learning a lot about mine and wish it would warm up a bit so I can get out and do some real practicing... I'm partial to Nikon SLR stuff, but I'm sold on Canon P&S cameras for sure...
