I've only taken 400 pictures with my new camera! I've had it... okay, almost a month. But I must use my camera more!

According to reviews, the SX-110 is programmed to shoot a bit warm, but I am biased toward cooler casts - especially in winter - so I tend to use the "full sun" and tungsten white balance presets a lot. I'm also prone to shooting a bit dark, since I blithely assume I can recover details and brighten shots in Photoshop. Just about the only thing I leave to the camera is the focusing, because trying to manually focus a point and shoot doesn't seem worth the effort. Dad has agreed to let me borrow his camera "for a weekend" at some point, so I'm going to try to kidnap it sometime before May.

In the meantime, pictures.

One of many days the water froze this winter. I'm standing nowhere near these shivering geese. This is why people like megazoom cameras!

Flag at NIH, near sunset. Pretty!

My favorite is the flag. That's a REALLY good picture.

The flag picture is the shot I spent a moment hanging around and waiting for the right moment to shoot, and it shows. I think the color balance on the the others is off, which detracts, but the flag is prettiest.
