I was able to take some even better photos last night of the orchids than yesterday's shots. Getting better with practice I suppose. I use the 5 megapixel Canon Powershot A95. My step-son uses the Canon Powershot A80, a very similiar 4 megapixel model. Everything I've read says to buy the A80 instead of the newer A85. So, if you don't want to pay for the A95, then look for a refurbished A80.

- The A95 is a top-10 digital camera
- Read in-depth digital camera reviews by the pros that you can understand
My eyes were opened to the many complexities of photography last night. It's truly fascinating. Digital photography helps to automate so much of the manual world. I realize that the pros out there still prefer manual photography with a professional camera for many of their own reasons, but I can't help but stand in awe at what our society has accomplished. Apperature settings and f-stops, shutter speeds, flash output, optical vs. digital zoom, image effects, lighting settings, ISO speeds, and the list goes on and on....
What truly boggled my mind was the hour I spent using Macromedia's Fireworks MX (I am very familiar with Adobe Photoshop as well, so I'm not forgetting about it). The number of effects and possibilities for manipulating your prints astounded me. Using just one of the shots below even!
Well, I am hooked on this photography thing. I'll have to take a few more shots of the orchid, but I'll quit posting them left and right on my blog :) I'll work on some general shots for ya'll.
