I took some photo classes about umm NEVER. I know all the basics I need to know, turn the camera on, point and click. In the end, going to any other menu on the camera just confused me.

Last year, when my camera broke in Alaska on the zipline, I went out and bought a preeeetty new Canon (lowest model on sale version) and I hoped it would enable me to take 'average' pictures.

At the park on Sunday, I decided, "Hey, lemmie take some artsy fartsy pictures like Jenny." I guess I was thinking of Jenny so I took a picture of a pigeon:



Funny thing happened. The bird flew away and I clicked the button on my camera and VIOLA, I took a picture:

WHAT? A birds on the ground and a bird in the air? Wow, I discovered I can still take "average" pictures with my low end camera. What. Up.

@$$.

first off, I take better photos with my point & shoot than with my dSLR. Second, you can BARELY tell that you've got movement in the bird's wings. Last, you're still an @$$. :)
