New Toy

You may remember (or most likely, you won’t) my digital camera was stolen almost a year ago. I finally decided I had the money to purchase a new one. So I went out and found myself the Canon Powershot S30 with all the appropriate accessories (additional memory card, USB card reader, etc.). I’m happy with the way it’s working so far. It has a lot of interesting SLR-like features. Now I just have to learn how to use everything.

I already discovered that it’s difficult to take pictures of moving objects (in this case, people marching on a muddy football field) at night, but if I play around with strange-sounding things like “apertures” and “shutter speed” and “f-stops” then maybe I’ll figure out how to make the best of it. But all the other pictures I’ve taken so far have come out very nice.

  1. if you make the shutter speed faster- you should have better luck. you probably want it to be at least at 250 if not higher. i don’t know what kind of options you have.
