learn how to use my digital camera

using my new camera here on vacation!

on Adobe photoshop the other day, on how to touch up pictures.

Also have been reading up on taking pictures. I can’t wait to try everything out on vacation.

how it’s a good idea to save photos in a .tiff format to preserve future degradation that happens with jpegs. Interesting – I didn’t know about how some of your jpeg degrades every time you open it. I wonder why that is…

How to use the color settings today – black & white, chrome, and regular modes. The chrome feature sounds pretty cool.

why my close-ups are turning out so shaky/blurry after I use the focus tool. I shouldn’t need to use a tripod for a simple shot. Maybe I should just shoot them without the focus step.

It was here when I came home today. So far, I’ve figured out how to attach the straps and the lens, how to put the batteries and the photo cards in, how to use the flash, and how to take your basic shot. And how to set the time/date, and how to play back/delete shots.

I’ve got a long way to go….

from Amazon, after looking at Timothy’s beautiful shots. I have been wanting to do this for a while and what with summer vacation coming up, I thought this would be a good time.
