Been trying out my new Canon A610 Powershot over the weekend. I feel I’m starting to get to grips with all the shutter and aperture settings. Here’s my first attempt at a decent macro shot.

I’m sure Mark will some interesting points to make 
My new camera turned up yesterday while I was at work, it was a long day waiting to get away to have a play with my new toy!
I’m really pleased with the purchase and glad that I didn’t go for the Sony DSC-T5 that I was originally opting for. The Powershot is some much cooler and has lots of manual features to get to grips with. I’ve been scouring the web looking for beginners guides to photography. I need to try and get my head around exposures, shutter speeds, and all that stuff, I never knew it was so complicated. I tried a few pages over at wikipedia and my head nearly exploded!
The only disappointment on Canon’s part is that they only supply a basic manual with the camera which tells you about absolutely nothing and constantly refers to the ‘Advanced Guide’ which you only get as a pdf. So i’ve had to print this myself. The stupid thing is they supplied the basic manual 5 times in different languages! With all that paper they could have printed the advanced guide for me !
