Playin'

I started reading the instruction manual when I got my camera, but admit that it has been collecting dust for the last week or two. I thought "ahh, I'll just play until I figure it out!"

So these are some of my 'test shots' if you will - was fairly pleased with some of them, but have somewhat sadly come to the conclusion that I will, in fact, have to read the manual. I need to figure out shutter speeds, focus points, and all those things which I have no clue about!

The palm tree in our garage... I know, it's a bit weird to have a palm tree in one's garage...

(this one's come out sideways - if anyone knows how to stop that happening when you post on here, please let me know! For now, just tilt your head.

The sunshine that greets me daily - one of the oh-so-good things about living here...

Trying out my macro setting on some weird cool flowers...

A piccie of the street where I live:

And I couldn't resist sticking a few of he who also lives on my street - Vox! (credit where credit is due, it was actually the hubby that took all of these excpet the first one)

(he was a bit bored of being my model by this time)

Tilt again.

And, by far one of my favourite EVER photos - I bet your dog doesn't wink at you!
